Abstract :
We report a bias temperature instability (BTI) study of graphene Field-Effect Transistor (G-FET) for the first time. New BTI characteristics are observed for G-FETs fabricated using a graphene transfer-free process. Temperature significantly affects BTI of G-FETs by changing the direction of shift of IDS. A plausible graphene BTI mechanism is discussed.
