Researchers develop world's first functioning graphene semiconductor

Earlier this month, researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlantapublisheda paper in Nature. The study discusses producing epigraphene from silicon carbide (SiC). Semiconducting epitaxial graphene (SEC), also known as epigraphene, has far greater electron mobility than silicon. This exponential boost means that chips using epigraphene could potentially hit cycles in the terahertz range. Making epigraphene builds on a process that has produced graphene for half a century. The wafer produced is charge-neutral, so when removed from the tube, it instantly becomes doped by oxygen....
