A chip to wafer scale, CMOS compatible method of graphene device fabrication
has been established, which can be integrated into the back end of the line
(BEOL) of conventional semiconductor process flows. In this paper, we present
experimental results of graphene field effect transistors (GFETs) which were
fabricated using this wafer scalable method. The carrier mobilities in these
transistors reach up to several hundred cm2V−1s−1. Further, these
devices exhibit current saturation regions similar to graphene devices
fabricated using mechanical exfoliation. The overall performance of the GFETs
can not yet compete with record values reported for devices based on
mechanically exfoliated material. Nevertheless, this large scale approach is an
important step towards reliability and variability studies as well as
optimization of device aspects such as electrical contacts and dielectric
interfaces with statistically relevant numbers of devices. It is also an
important milestone towards introducing graphene into wafer scale process
