▎ 摘　　要

This paper investigated the temperature effects on the RF performances of the epitaxial bilayer graphene field-effect transistors (EBG-FETs) on a SiC substrate over a temperature range of 25-200 degrees C under the atmospheric environment. The temperature dependence of the cutoff frequency f(r) and the maximum oscillation frequency of the f(max) EBG-FETs with an identical gate-length and different gate-widths were measured by small-signal measurement up to 40 GHz. The results show that EBG-FETs are capable of operating at high temperature up to 200 degrees C with workable amounts of thermally induced performance degradation. To gain further insight into the underlying physics of the device parameters affected by temperature, the small signal device parameter variations with ambient temperature are discussed. This work reveals the great potential of graphene in high temperature device applications. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
