Abstract

Transparent flexible graphene transistors and inverters in a coplanar-gate configuration were presented for the first time using only two materials: graphene and an ion gel gate dielectric. The novel device configuration simplifies device fabrication such that only two printing steps were required to fabricate transistors and inverters. The devices exhibited excellent device performances including low-voltage operation with a high transistor-on-current and mobility, excellent mechanical flexibility, environmental stability, and a reasonable inverting behavior upon connecting the two transistors.
