ABSTRACT
We report the structure characterization and electronic property modification of single layer graphene (SLG) field-effect transistor (FET) devices top-gated using ultrathin Y(2)O(3) as dielectric layers. Based on the Boltzmann transport theory within variant screening, Coulomb scattering is confirmed quantitatively to be dominant in Y(2)O(3)-covered SLG and a very few short-range impurities have been introduced by Y(2)O(3). Both DC transport and AC capacitance measurements carried out at cryogenic temperatures demonstrate that the broadening of Landau levels is mainly due to the additional charged impurities and inhomogeneity of carriers induced by Y(2)O(3) layers.
