Graphene, a single atomic layer of graphite, has drawn great interest recently both in its unique physical properties and potential for electronics applications. Graphene is an ideal 2D semimetal, with linear dispersion (Dirac Fermion). When in contact with superconductor, many interesting questions arise, in terms of 2D superconductivity and Andreev reflection at the superconductor/relativisitc Dirac Fermion interface. Here we present experimental study on gate controlled superconductor/graphene devices. Electric field dependent superconducting proximity effect and Andreev reflection will be discussed.
