Applications of Graphene - An Overview

Graphene is presented and analyzed as a replacement for silicon. The Primary focus is on solar cell and CMOS device technologies, with attention to the fabrication methods, including extensions needed, in each case. Specialized applications for graphene within the existing silicon technology are discussed and found to be promising.

List of contents

Physical and Electrical Properties of Graphene.- Practical Productions of Graphene, Supply and Cost.- Solar Cells and Electrodes.- Graphene Logic Devices and Moore's Law.- Niche Applications of Graphene within Silicon Technology.
