The article is devoted to the search of effective ways for electronic structure control of corrugated armchair graphene nanoribbons. As the research tools we used quantum method SCC DFTB2. The objects of study were corrugated armchair nanoribbons with the extended unit cell, which had the length of 6.2 nm and the width of 1.2 nm. At the initial stage of the study we selected parameters of corrugated graphene - the corrugation depth and width of troughin which induce the greatest changes in electronic structure of the object. Next, we studied the effect of atomic grid defects in the form of the Stone-Wales defect and oxygen chemisorption on the electronic structure. Analysis of the electronic structure was carried out on the basis of the calculation results of the density of electron states distribution. It was found that control of the electronic conductivity type for corrugated nanoribbons may be carried out by means of the introducing of oxygen atoms in graphene atomic grid as a result of chemisorption.
