Abstract
A method for using a graphene field-effect transistor (GFET) as a reconfigurable circuit, the method comprising the following steps: depositing a liquid dielectric over a graphene channel of the GFET; applying an activation energy via a first electric field across the liquid dielectric and the graphene channel to electrochemically produce chemical species within the liquid dielectric such that the chemical species accumulate at, and molecularly bond with, the graphene channel thereby decreasing a conductivity of the graphene channel; and applying a deactivation energy via a second electric field of opposite polarity to the first electric field to remove interaction between the chemical species and the graphene channel to increase the conductivity of the graphene channel.
