Graphene is a two-dimensional material with a one-atom-thick layer of carbon. Since the first report of the excellent electrical properties of graphene in 2004, its unique physical properties have been attracting attention and research on the application of graphene to electronic and photonic devices has been intensively carried out. In this review, recent research trends in the application of graphene to electronic devices, particularly transistors and interconnects, and graphene formation techniques are examined. In addition, the technical issues to be addressed for its application to electronic devices and the prospects for future graphene devices are discussed. (c) 2015 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
