Description

A bottom-up approach allows for the synthesis of ultra-narrow graphene nanoribbons (GNR) with a sizeable bandgap and thus excellent candidates for switching applications. In this work we focused on 5- and 9-atom wide armchair GNRs (5-AGNR, 9-AGNR) grown under UHV conditions on Au(111) and Au(788) surfaces. GNRs were transferred using two different transfer approaches and for both 5- and 9-AGNRs Raman spectra indicated no significant degradation upon transfer as well as remarkable stability overtime. Detailed characterization of both transfers’ will be addressed. In a next step, 9AGNR-FET devices were produced using graphene electrodes, with a channel length of 1-5nm. A performance of Ion > 6μA at Vd = 0.1 V and high Ion/Ioff ratios of ~10^4 was observed
