Learn all about graphene field-effect transistors or GFETs. We'll cover their construction, as well as the benefits and challenges of designing with them.

As the size and performance of silicon transistors approach their physical limits, there is a need to look for alternative materials to support emerging technologies. One of these materials being researched is graphene, which is an attractive channel material for field-effect transistors because of its superior electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties.

In this article, we'll talk about the basics of GFETs, including their construction, where they are superior to other field-effect transistors, and where they face challenges.
