Alignment accuracies of less than 250 nm are achieved without imaging of the graphene using the FIB beam. Parameters for the FIB assisted deposition on graphene have to be controlled exactly to avoid damage to the underlying graphene. Measured channel resistance of 58 k? shows a good electrical contact between deposited tungsten and graphene.

Abstract

We demonstrate a rapid-prototyping method for the fabrication of electrical structures from exfoliated graphene using focused ion beam (FIB) assisted deposition of tungsten and milling. Alignment accuracies of less than 250 nm are achieved without imaging of the graphene using the FIB beam. Parameters for the FIB assisted deposition on graphene have to be controlled exactly to avoid damage to the underlying graphene. Measured channel resistance of 58 k? shows a good electrical contact between deposited tungsten and graphene.
