Research Abstract |
Graphene-based devices are promising candidates for future high-speed filed effect transistors (FETs). To make the best use of the high performance of graphene channel, achieving the lowcontact resistivity (ρC) between graphene and metal is most important. The purpose of this work is to determine the current flow path at the graphene/metal contact. The experimental results indicate that ρC is not characterized by A but by W. Since the resistivity of the metal is much smaller than the graphene resistivity, it can be considered that the current flows preferentially in the metal film, and enters from the metal to graphene at the edge of the contact.
