▎ 摘  要

Graphene, a monolayer carbon atoms arranged in hexagonal honeycomb lattice possesses impressive electronic properties. It is utilized as channel, source and drain contact in graphene nanoribbon field-effect transistor (GNRFET). Zigzag graphene nanoribbon (ZGNR) is used as semi-metallic drain and source terminal to a pristine armchair graphene nanoribbon (AGNR) that acts as a semiconducting channel. In addition, a single dopant, either nitrogen or boron is added to create lightly-doped drain and source contact. The electronic properties of graphene nanoribbon (GNR) with lightly-doped drain and source contacts are obtained from tight-binding approach. With self-energy matrices, the lightly-doped contacts Hamiltonian matrices are combined with the pristine channel Hamiltonian matrix. The density of states (DOS) are simulated based on the non-equilibrium Greeds Function (NEGF) formalism. Our findings are then compared with published research work. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the DOS of the overall GNR structure still retain a small band gap and possess semiconducting properties when the channel is connected to semi-metallic contact at the drain and source terminal.
