Graphene Quantum Capacitors for High Frequency Tunable Analog Applications

Juan Ramon Mosig, Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Clara-Fausta Moldovan, Wolfgang Amadeus Vitale, Pankaj Sharma, Michele Tamagnone

Graphene quantum capacitors (GQC) are demonstrated to be enablers of radio-frequency (RF) functions through voltage-tuning of their capacitance. We show that GQC complements MEMS and MOSFETs in terms of performance for high frequency analog applications an ...

Graphene negative differential resistance (GNDR) circuit with enhanced performance at room temperature

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Arnaud Magrez, Laurent Syavoch Bernard, Antonios Bazigos, Pankaj Sharma

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a novel circuit based on graphene FETs (GFETs) showing excellent negative differential resistance (NDR) characteristics at room temperature. The proposed GNDR circuit exploits a closed loop connection of 1-GFET wit ...

Graphene for Nanoelectronic Applications

Pankaj Sharma

During the past decade, graphene --- a monolayer of carbon atoms --- has attracted enormous interest for its use in nanoelectronic device applications. The absence of bandgap, however, has stalled its use both in logic (inability to turn off) and radio fre ...

Electromagnetic Performance of RF NEMS Graphene Capacitive Switches

Julien Perruisseau-Carrier, Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Clara-Fausta Moldovan, Pankaj Sharma

The RF performance of a nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) capacitive switch based on graphene is evaluated. Our results show that graphene can be a good candidate for the membrane of RF NEMS switches in applications where low actuation voltage and fast ...

Non-contact characterization of graphene surface impedance at micro and millimeter waves

Julien Perruisseau-Carrier, Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Pankaj Sharma, Juan Sebastian Gomez Diaz

The experimental characterization of the surface impedance of monolayer graphene at micro and millimeter wave frequencies is addressed. Monolayer graphene is transferred on a substrate stack, which is placed in the cross-section of a rectangular waveguide. ...
