We report on transport properties of monolayer-graphene (MLG) with a laterally modulated charge carrier density profile. For that we employed a planar back gate and striped top gate electrodes of 25 nm width and a spacing of 100 nm up to 200 nm, separated from the MLG by an Al2O3 dielectric. Tuning of top and back gate voltages gives rise to multiple potential barriers and wells, enabling the investigation of resistance either in the unipolar or the bipolar transport regime. In the latter pronounced single- and multibarrier Fabry-Pérot (FP) resonances are observed. The experimental data of different devices with alternating numbers of top gate stripes and pitch, taken at different temperatures, is consistent with a ballistic transport calculation, employing a realistic potential profile, extracted from classical electrostatic simulation combined with the quantum capacitance model. The origin of resistance oscillations in our multibarrier graphene system can be explained in the FP-picture, without resorting to an artificial band structure.
