Graphene base transistor having compositionally-graded collector barrier layer

摘要

Junction transistor, comprising, on a substrate an emitter layer, a collector layer, and a base layer that comprises a graphene layer, wherein an emitter barrier layer is arranged between the base layer and the emitter layer, and a collector barrier layer is arranged between the base and the collector layers and adjacent to the graphene layer, characterized in that the collector barrier layer is a compositionally graded material layer, which has an electron affinity that decreases in a direction pointing from the base layer to the collector layer.
