Graphene based field effect transistors (FETs) and diodes were investigated using KPFM in combination with transport. Imaging FETs, at different source to drain voltages, enables a mapping of local voltage drops occurring at various surface perturbations like defects, impurities, and wrinkles. In the regions between graphene wrinkles and the contacts, a strong enhancement of the potential gradients along the direction of current flow is observed. The response of these local voltage drops to a global back-gate is also investigated. In the second part, diodes comprised of titanium - titanium oxide - graphene heterostructures are studied, where gate voltages induce variations in the graphene work-function resulting in their superior asymmetry in comparison to metal-insulator-metal diodes [1]. We observe significant doping disorder ~ 50 meV on the graphene, which systematically decrease as the diode is tuned from the off state to the on state.
