Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Inverter logic devices include a gate oxide on a back substrate, a first graphene layer and a second graphene layer separated from each other on the gate oxide, a first electrode layer and a first semiconductor layer separated from each other on the first graphene layer, a second electrode layer and a second semiconductor layer separated from each other on the second graphene layer, and an output electrode on the first and second semiconductor layers and configured to output an output signal. The first semiconductor layer is doped with a different type of impurities selected from n-type impurities and p-type impurities than the second semiconductor layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An inverter logic device, comprising: a gate oxide on a back gate substrate; a first graphene layer and a second graphene layer physically separated from each other by a gap on the gate oxide; a first electrode layer and a first semiconductor layer on a same surface of the first graphene layer and separated from each other; a second electrode layer and a second semiconductor layer on a same surface of the second graphene layer and separated from each o…
