Drift Suppression of Solution-Gated Graphene Field-Effect Transistors by Cation Doping for Sensing Platforms

Solution-gated graphene field-effect transistors (SG-GFETs) provide an ideal platform for sensing biomolecules owing to their high electron/hole mobilities and 2D nature. However, the transfer curve often drifts in an electrolyte solution during measurements, making it difficult to accurately estima...

Drift Suppression of Solution-Gated Graphene Field-Effect Transistors by Cation Doping for Sensing Platforms
description Solution-gated graphene field-effect transistors (SG-GFETs) provide an ideal platform for sensing biomolecules owing to their high electron/hole mobilities and 2D nature.
