Abstract

Preparing graphene and its derivatives on functional substrates may open enormous opportunities for exploring the intrinsic electronic properties and new functionalities of graphene. However, efforts in replacing SiO2_{2} have been greatly hampered by a very low sample yield of the exfoliation and related transferring methods. Here, we report a new route in exploring new graphene physics and functionalities by transferring large-scale chemical vapor deposition single-layer and bilayer graphene to functional substrates. Using ferroelectric Pb(Zr0.3_{0.3}Ti0.7_{0.7})O3_{3} (PZT), we demonstrate ultra-low voltage operation of graphene field effect transistors within ±1\pm1 V with maximum doping exceeding 1013cm210^{13}\,\mathrm{cm^{-2}} and on-off ratios larger than 10 times. After polarizing PZT, switching of graphene field effect transistors are characterized by pronounced resistance hysteresis, suitable for ultra-fast non-volatile electronics.
