Method of manufacturing a transistor

Abstract

There is provided a method of manufacturing a transistor, the method comprising: (a) providing a substrate having a semiconductor surface; (b) providing a graphene layer structure on a first portion of the semiconductor surface, wherein the graphene layer structure has a thickness of n graphene monolayers, wherein n is at least 2; (c) etching a first portion of the graphene layer structure to reduce the thickness of the graphene layer structure in said first portion to from n−1 to 1 graphene monolayers; (d) forming a layer of dielectric material on the first portion of the graphene layer structure; and (e) providing: a source contact on a second portion of the graphene layer structure; a gate contact on the layer of dielectric material; and a drain contact on a second portion of the semiconductor surface of the substrate.
