Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are promising materials for semiconductor nanodevices owing to their flexibility, transparency, and appropriate band gaps. A variety of optoelectronic and electronic devices based on TMDs diodes have been extensively investigated due to their unique advantages. However, improving their performance is challenging for commercial applications. In this study, we propose a facile and doping-free approach based on the contact engineering of a few-layer tungsten di-selenide to form a lateral homojunction photovoltaic. By combining surface and edge contacts for diode fabrication, the photovoltaic effect is achieved with a high fill factor of ≈0.64, a power conversion efficiency of up to ≈4.5%, and the highest external quantum efficiency with a value of ≈67.6%. The photoresponsivity reaches 283 mA/W, indicating excellent photodiode performance. These results demonstrate that our technique has great potential for application in next-generation optoelectronic devices.

Negative differential transconductance (NDT) devices have emerged as promising candidates for multivalued logic computing, and particularly for ternary logic systems. To enable computation of any ternary operation, it is essential to have a functionally complete set of ternary logic gates, which remains unrealized with current NDT technologies, posing a critical limitation for higher-level circuit design. Additionally, NDT devices typically rely on heterojunctions, complicating fabrication and impacting reliability due to the introduction of additional materials and interfaces.

Exploring emerging two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) semiconducting materials and precisely tuning their electronic properties at the atomic level have long been recognized as crucial issues for developing their high-end electronic and optoelectronic applications. As a III-VI semiconductor, ultrathin layered hexagonal GaTe (-GaTe) remains unexplored in terms of its intrinsic electronic properties and band engineering strategies. Herein, we report the successful synthesis of ultrathin -GaTe layers on a selected graphene/SiC(0001) substrate, via molecular beam epitaxy (MBE).

Article Synopsis
- The construction of anti-ambipolar transistors (AATs) is complex due to their reliance on asymmetric heterostructures, which are difficult to produce and often lead to problems like high dark currents that reduce sensitivity in photodetection.
- This research introduces a new type of light-triggered AAT based on an in-plane lateral WSe homojunction, allowing for dynamic modulation through back gate control and achieving impressive performance metrics including a responsivity of 188 A/W.
- Additionally, the device showcases self-driven photodetection and enables the creation of ternary inverters using monolithic WSe, simplifying the process of making multivalued logic devices.

The construction of lateral p-n junctions is very important and challenging in two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor manufacturing process. Previous researches have demonstrated that vertical p-n junction can be prepared simply by vertical stacking of 2D materials. However, interface pollution and large area scalability are challenges that are difficult to overcome with vertical stacking technology.
