Intrinsic Limits of Subthreshold Slope in Biased Bilayer Graphene Transistor
arXiv:1003.5284 · doi:10.1063/1.3364142
Abstract
In this work, we investigate the intrinsic limits of subthreshold slope in a dual gated bilayer graphene transistor using a coupled self-consistent Poisson-bandstructure solver. We benchmark the solver by matching the bias dependent bandgap results obtained from the solver against published experimental data. We show that the intrinsic bias dependence of the electronic structure and the self-consistent electrostatics limit the subthreshold slope obtained in such a transistor well above the Boltzmann limit of 60mV/decade at room temperature, but much below the results experimentally shown till date, indicating room for technological improvement of bilayer graphene.
