Two-dimensional materials offer a range of electronic properties — from conducting to semiconducting to insulating — and could be used to create scaled transistors and advanced integrated circuits. Here, in a series of articles, we explore the potential role of two-dimensional materials in the future of electronic circuits.
Han Wang and H.-S. Philip Wong of the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) tell Nature Electronics about the company’s research efforts into two-dimensional materials.
This Perspective examines the development of integrated circuits based on layered two-dimensional materials, exploring where they are likely to first find commercial use and considers the challenges than need to be addressed to create highly scaled circuits.
This Review examines the development of field-effect transistors based on two-dimensional materials and considers the challenges that need to be addressed for the devices to be incorporated into very large-scale integration (VLSI) technology.
Semiconducting two-dimensional materials might one day be used in scaled semiconductor technology. Andras Kis recounts how the first transistor based on a single layer of molybdenum disulfide was created.
