Having followed graphene for many years, I would be interested in any opinions on whether this could be the inflection point for the application of graphene in semis.
This is a purely simulation based study, so I think it's too early to place our bets on graphene. One of the biggest challenges with Graphene is making good quality contacts at the source/drain. Great current carrying capability is awesome, but isn't of much use if the contacts are bad (which is the case with most 'experimental' graphene devices). The novelty part of this works seems to be using graphene to make TFETs, but none of the experimental TFETs hold much promise, either (variability, low drive currents, etc.).
