Graphene Raman Imaging and Spectroscopy Processing (GRISP) Software

GRISP is capable of giving accurate statistical data of key features of Raman spectrum of graphene over large areas, namely 2D, G and D peak intensity and ratios as well as 2D peak Full With at Half-Maximum. GRISP also maps processed data to form images from which growth quality can be easily visualized and quantified.

The inputs are summarized in the table below:

 

Variable Variable Name Unit Typical Values
Intrinsic quantities
Saturation Velocity vsat  cm/s 2.5e7
Low-field mobility Mobility (mu)  cm^2/V/s 1000 – 10000
Channel Length Length (L)  um < 10
Channel Width Width (W)  um > 1
Oxide Capacitance Oxide_Cap (Cox)  fF/um^2 1-10
Carrier Density n (nimp)  1/cm^2 1e11 – 5e12
Extrinsic quantities (for all simulations)
Contact Resistance Rc Ω 100-1000
Drain Voltage Vd V 0.1-5
Gate Voltage Vg V -5 to 5
Dirac Offset Voltage Vdirac V 0

The output for the simulation is drain current, which can be simulated in DC, S-parameter, harmonic balance, time-domain, or AC simulation. DC validation is shown below.

DC model validation with strong agreement between simulation (solid lines) and measured data (symbols) at several values of gate bias VGS, for GFETs with length (a) 100 nm (L. Liao et al) and (b) 10 µm (J. Kedzierski et al).
