Abstract:
An electronic device comprises an insulator, a local first gate embedded in the insulator with a top surface of the first gate being substantially coplanar with a surface of the insulator, a first dielectric layer formed over the first gate and insulator, and a channel. The channel comprises a bilayer graphene layer formed on the first dielectric layer. The first dielectric layer provides a substantially flat surface on which the channel is formed. A second dielectric layer formed over the bilayer graphene layer and a local second gate formed over the second dielectric layer. Each of the local first and second gates is capacitively coupled to the channel of the bilayer graphene layer. The local first and second gates form a first pair of gates to locally control a first portion of the bilayer graphene layer.

Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a substrate that extends along a first direction to define a length and second direction perpendicular to the first direction to define a height. The substrate includes a dielectric layer and at least one gate stack formed on the dielectric layer. A source contact is formed adjacent to a first side of the gate stack and a drain contact formed adjacent to an opposing second side of the gate stack. A carbon nanotube is formed on the source contact and the drain contact. A first portion of the nanotube forms a source. A second portion forms a drain. A third portion is interposed between the source and drain to define a gate channel that extends along the first direction. The source and the drain extend along the second direction and have a greater length than the gate channel.
