Abstract
Graphene is a two-dimensional material, comprised of a monolayer of carbon in a hexagonal lattice. Since 2004, the most promising applications of this material are high frequency devices (such as mixers and power amplifiers), as well as flexible and transparent electronics. However, these applications can’t be realized without a proper contact metal. With more understanding of the contact properties, the range of prospects for graphene’s applications can be better defined.
