Graphene, renowned for its exceptional electrical, optical, and mechanical properties, takes center stage in the realm of next-generation electronics. In this paper, we provide a thorough investigation into the comprehensive fabrication process of graphene field-effect transistors. Recognizing the pivotal role graphene quality plays in determining device performance, we explore many techniques and metrological methods to assess and ensure the superior quality of graphene layers.

Van der Waals (vdWs) heterostructures, assembled by stacking of two-dimensional (2D) crystal layers, have emerged as a promising new material system for high-performance optoelectronic applications, such as thin film transistors, photodetectors, and light-emitters. In this study, we showcase an innovative device that leverages strain-tuning capabilities, utilizing a MoS/SbTe vdWs p-n heterojunction architecture designed explicitly for photodetection across the visible to near-infrared spectrum. These heterojunction devices provide ultra-low dark currents as small as 4.

With the increasing need for large volumes of data processing, transport, and storage, optimizing the trade-off between high-speed and energy consumption in today's optoelectronic devices is getting increasingly difficult. Heterogeneous material integration into silicon- and nitride-based photonics has showed high-speed promise, albeit at the expense of millimeter-to centimeter-scale footprints. The hunt for an electro-optic modulator that combines high speed, energy efficiency, and compactness to support high component density on-chip continues.
