Synthesis of Reduced Graphene Oxide Films using Atmospheric Plasma and Furnace Annealing

Ayler R., Tong Y., Ramabadran U., Zhou X., Ryan G., Farhat S., Kettering University, US

Graphene oxide (GO) is an electrical insulator with good mechanical and thermal properties. It exhibits increased conductivity when the Carbon to Oxygen ratio is high. Our work aims to efficiently fabricate inexpensive flexible reduced graphene [...]

Compact Model Characteristics for Generic MIS-HEMTs

Zhou H.T., Zhou X., Chiah S.B., Syamal B., Zhou H.T., Zhou X., Ajaykumar A., Liu X., Nanyang Technological University, SG

III-V channel field-effect transistors (FETs), such as metal–insulator–semiconductor high electron-mobility transistors (MIS-HEMTs), have emerged as promising candidates for future generation high-frequency, high-voltage, and high-power applications. Development of a compact model for generic HEMTs in III-V/Si [...]
