  • Abstract
    We explore the potential of graphene symmetric tunneling field effect transistors (SymFETs) for THz applications. The interplay between the negative differential conductance in these devices and electron plasma waves occurring in the graphene layers might lead to very sensitive THz detection (R > 100 kV/W) or amplifiers with power gains ~ 7 dB at RT.
