Devices and circuits for HF applications based on 2D materials

Graphene and related 2D materials have been extensively studied in recent years. As a result, numerous components have been developed for a wide range of applications in high frequency electronics and telecommunications. These include graphene field effect transistors (GFET) which can be used to provide amplification functions, splitters and photodetectors for optical mixing. Recently, 2D materials have also demonstrated their ability to be used as analog switches to transmit very high frequency signal, based on their ultimate thickness. This paper describes some of the methods used to manufacture these devices and circuits, as well as the characterization of their performance.
