▎ 摘  要

The contact-end-resistance (CER) method is applied to transfer length method structures to characterize in-depth the graphene-metal contact and its dependence on the back-gate bias. Parameters describing the graphene-metal stack resistance are extracted through the widely used transmission line model. The results show inconsistencies which highlight application limits of the model underlying the extraction method. These limits are attributed to the additional resistance associated with the p-p(+) junction located at the contact edge, that is not part of the conventional transmission linemodel. Useful guidelines for a correct application of the extraction technique are provided, identifying the bias range in which this additional resistance is negligible. Finally, the CER method and the transmission line model are exploited to characterize the graphene-metal contacts featuring different metals.
