The inverting operation of a logic inverter, using two back-gate epitaxial graphene-on-silicon field-effect transistors (GOSFETs), is demonstrated at room temperature. Thanks to the asymmetric ambipolarity of the fabricated GOSFETs, owing to the undesirable back-gate leakage, the on/off state current has been dramatically reduced. This results in a well matched input/output voltage levels for a wide V
DD range from more than 1 V down to 0.5 V. The inverting operation of the device is obtained at as low V
DD bias as 0.5 V. Voltage gains higher than the unity are also obtained. The experimental results are in good agreement with the simulation results made for the case of asymmetric ambipolar transistors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
