Abstract

We obtain the output characteristics of graphene field-effect transistors by using the charge-control model for the current, based on the solution of the Boltzmann equation in the field-dependent relaxation time approximation. Closed expressions for the conductance, transconductance and saturation voltage are derived. We found good agreement with the experimental data of Meric et al. [1], without assuming a carrier density-dependent velocity saturation.
