>> *Abstract*
>>
>> In the past decade, the state of the art Si-based electronics has
>> gone from devices at or above 100 nm to the realm of 30 nm and below,
>> with a defined pathway to devices, logic and memory, of about 15 nm.
>> In addition, as devices have scaled below a gate length of about
>> 100nm performance per power density has not scaled, in fact it has
>> decreased. In order to address the power issues the industry is
>> facing as CMOS devices are scaled further, a program, Nanoelectronic
>> Research Initiative, was created to develop new materials and devices
>> that take advantage of new state variables with the objective of
>> improving performance per power density. Graphene, a mono-layer of
>> carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice, has recently been
>> subject of considerable theoretical and experimental interest because
>> of its unique transport properties together with exceptional chemical
>> and physical properties. New devices such as BiSFET, TFETs, and P-N
>> junction devices have been proposed and are being evaluated for the
>> next switch. In order to demonstrate any of these new devices, high
>> quality graphene films will have to be developed and integrated with
>> dielectrics and metal contacts.
>>
>> High quality graphene can be formed by exfoliation from natural
>> graphite with samples sizes of a few hundred square microns. Graphene
>> can also be grown on SiC substrates by a Si evaporation process from
>> either the Si or C surfaces, but these films are limited to SiC and
>> are difficult to integrate on Si wafers. The successful demonstration
>> and implementation of graphene-based device technology will require
>> synthesis of high quality graphene large are films on substrates
>> other than SiC or the exfoliation of graphene from graphite. The
>> discovery of large-area and monolayer graphene growth on Cu
>> substrates has opened many opportunities for the development of
>> graphene-based devices including transparent conductive electrodes.
>> Growth of graphene on Cu by chemical vapor deposition is unlike
>> growth on other substrates such as Ni or Co in that a self-limited
>> monolayer of graphite is grown by a surface limited process. In order
>> to take full advantage of the fundamental properties of graphene it
>> is necessary to grow uniform and nearly defect-free films as the
>> semiconductor industry has done with silicon substrates. Further,
>> integration of this chemically inert material with dielectrics and
>> metals will be necessary in order to demonstrate any electronic
>> device. In this presentation I will review the need for devices
>> beyond CMOS, growth of large area polycrystalline and single crystal
>> graphene, and integration of dielectrics and metals on graphene and
>> their effects on electrical properties of simple FET devices.
