Patent ID: 8658488

Claim:
A method of forming a semiconductor structure comprising: providing a graphene layer onto at least an upper surface of a first dielectric material, said first dielectric material comprising at least one first conductive region contained therein; forming at least one semiconductor device using the graphene layer as an element of said at least one semiconductor device, wherein said at least one semiconductor device comprises a transistor including a source region located on a first portion of an uppermost surface of the graphene layer and a drain region located on a second portion of the uppermost surface of the graphene layer; and forming a second dielectric material covering the graphene layer, the at least one semiconductor device, and portions of the first dielectric material, wherein said second dielectric material includes at least one second conductive region contained therein, and wherein said at least one second conductive region is in contact with a conductive element of said at least one semiconductor device.
