A high-quality junction between graphene and metallic contacts is crucial in the creation of high-performance graphene field effect transistors. In an ideal metal-graphene junction, the contact resistance is determined solely by the number of conduction modes in graphene. However, measurements of contact resistance have been inconsistent, and the factors that determine the contact resistance remain unclear. In this work, we achieved conduct patterns on the exfoliated graphene by performing e-beam lithography and evaporated palladium through ultra high vacuum (UHV) system. The contact resistance between palladium and graphene is measured at room temperature. Additionally, the dependence of extracted mobility on channel dimensions is studied.
