摘要: In this research, ambipolar behavior, which is one of graphene's unique characteristics, studied for the epitaxial graphene formed on 3C-SiC grown a Si substrate. The channel believed to be unintentionally p-type-doped at Dirac-point voltages approximately +0.11 +0.12 V. However, as drain voltage negatively increases, Dirac point shifts. current in p-channel mode operation saturates lower level than that n-channel operation. These behaviors are caused by asymmetric carrier transport throughout channel-substrate heterojunctions (i.e., graphene, thin n-type SiC layer, and p-type substrate) source/drain Schottky metal contacts. interface between substrate has significant effect channels. results may helpful understanding device suppressing operation, leading unipolar FET
