Abstract: The authors reported on the experimental investigation of the high-temperature electrical resistance of graphene. The test structures were fabricated by using the focused ion beam from the single and bilayer graphene produced by mechanical exfoliation. It was found that as temperature increases from 300to500K, the resistance of the single, and bilayer graphene interconnects drops down by 30% and 70%, respectively. The quenching and temperature dependence of the resistance were explained by the thermal generation of the electron-hole pairs and carrier scattering by acoustic phonons. The obtained results are important for the proposed graphene interconnect applications in integrated circuits.

TL;DR: The results of the experimental investigation of the low frequency noise in bilayer graphene transistors were presented in this paper, where the back-gated devices were fabricated using the electron beam lithography and evaporation.
Abstract: We present the results of the experimental investigation of the low - frequency noise in bilayer graphene transistors. The back - gated devices were fabricated using the electron beam lithography and evaporation. The charge neutrality point for the fabricated transistors was around 10 V. The noise spectra at frequencies above 10 - 100 Hz were of the 1/f - type with the spectral density on the order of 10E-23 - 10E-22 A2/Hz at the frequency of 1 kHz. The deviation from the 1/f spectrum at the frequencies below 10 -100 Hz indicates that the noise is of the carrier - number fluctuation origin due to the carrier trapping by defects. The Hooge parameter of 10E-4 was extracted for this type of devices. The gate dependence of the noise spectral density suggests that the noise is dominated by the contributions from the ungated part of the device channel and by the contacts. The obtained results are important for graphene electronic applications.
