 Graphene, characterized by its singular plane of carbon atoms forming a hexagonal lattice, has become a focal point due to its unique electronic, mechanical, and thermal attributes.

In this study, we investigated the effects of an Al₂O₃ layer deposited on a SiO₂ gate insulator of a conventional back-gated graphene field effect transistor (GFET). The graphene layer is procured through chemical vapor deposition on copper substrates (sourced from Graphenea) and subsequently placed onto Si-wafer with a SiO₂ or Al₂O₃/SiO₂ surface layer via a semi-dry transfer technique. The Al₂O₃ layer has a thickness of 12nm, and the SiO₂ layer is 100nm thick.

Through Raman spectroscopy, we discussed the strain and concentration of doping in the graphene channel after transfer. The 2D peak values for graphene transferred on SiO₂ and Al₂O₃/SiO₂ are approximately 2681 cm-1 and 2673 cm-1 in the same sequence, and G peaks are detected around 1591 cm-1 and 1585 cm-1 correspondingly. These peaks, exhibiting a blue shift relative to inherent graphene, validate p-type doping on both substrates, with graphene on SiO₂ substrate anticipated to possess a heightened hole concentration. The graphene channel is patterned using photolithography, following the deposition of Au/Ti electrodes (with dimensions of 50nm/20nm) positioned at the terminal edges of the channel, which serve as source and drain electrode.

Pronounced hysteresis in the transfer curves, displaying drain-to-source current (IDS) in relation to gate voltage (Vg), is discerned for graphene on both SiO₂ and Al₂O₃/SiO₂ insulator substrates. This phenomenon is believed to originate from charge trapping within the insulating layers, which affects the carrier behavior in the graphene channel.

In our memory retention tests, triangular pulses of +60V and -60V were applied to the Vg. Immediately after each pulse, with Vg reset to 0V, the IDS was recorded over a 60,000-second duration.

A pronounced memory influence is evident in GFETs incorporating the Al₂O₃/SiO₂ insulator stack as opposed to the singular SiO₂ insulator. Conclusively, the findings advocate that the GFET with a rear-gate setup complemented by an Al₂O₃/SiO₂ insulator layer can serve as a viable substitute to the conventional Oxide-Nitride-Oxide memory structure.
