Two-dimensional materials for ubiquitous electronics

Abstract

The last few years have witnessed a tremendous research effort on two-dimensional materials for electronic applications. Graphene was the first one of these materials, quickly followed by boron nitride, di-chalcogenites and other compounds. Some of these materials are semimetals, others are semiconductors, and a few others excellent dielectrics and insulators. They represent a new toolbox of electronic materials with very unique properties. Thanks to the development of chemical vapor deposition techniques, they can be grown in very large areas, potentially in a roll-to-roll basis. In addition, their extreme thinness makes them highly transparent and extremely flexible. In summary, they constitute the basic building blocks of a new generation of electronics that could be integrated everywhere, a new ubiquitous electronics. This talk will discuss some of the recent results that our group has achieved on MoS2 electronics, including the development of the first RF transistors, integrated circuits and memory devices. © 2013 IEEE.
