A silica layer with periodic thickness is used to periodically modulate the chemical potential of graphene. The chemical potential ratio between two regions is and the period is D = 2w = 50 nm. Influence of the silicon grating on GPs is eliminated since both d1 and d2 are always larger than 100 nm.
