Published: July 2024

The last decade has seen dramatic progress in research on FETs with 2D channels. Starting from the single devices fabricated using exfoliated flakes in the early 2010s, by the early 2020s, 2D FETs being trialed for mass production and vertical stacking of 2D channels made by leading semiconductor companies. However, the industry is focused solely on transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) channels coupled with conventional 3D oxide insulators such as AlO and HfO. This has resulted in numerous challenges, such as poor-quality interfaces and reliability limitations due to oxide traps. At the same time, the alternative routes for 2D FETs offered by laboratory (LAB) research have not been appreciated until now, even though the use of the native oxides of 2D channels has recently resulted in the first 2D FinFETs. Considering the research progress achieved in the last decade, from this perspective, we will discuss the main challenges for industry integration of 2D FETs and also suggest possible future steps which could propel these emerging technologies towards market applications.

Complementary Circuits with WSe/Organic Semiconductor Heterostructure Field-Effect Transistors.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

Chandra Family Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas 78712, United States.

A device architecture based on heterostructure WSe/organic semiconductor field-effect transistors (FETs) is demonstrated in which ambipolar conduction is virtually eliminated, resulting in essentially unipolar FETs realized from an ambipolar semiconductor. For p-channel FETs, an electron-accepting organic semiconductor such as hexadecafluorocopperphthalocyanine (FCuPc) is used to form a heterolayer on top of WSe to effectively trap any undesirable electron currents. For n-channel FETs, a hole-accepting organic semiconductor such as pentacene is used to reduce the hole currents without affecting the electron currents.

Dipole-induced transitions from Schottky to Ohmic contact at Janus MoSiGeN/metal interfaces.

Nanoscale Horiz

January 2025

SEU-FEI Nano-Pico Center, Key Laboratory of MEMS of Ministry of Education, Southeast University, Nanjing 210096, China.

Janus MoSiGeN monolayers exhibit exceptional mechanical stability and high electron mobility, which make them a promising channel candidate for field-effect transistors (FETs). However, the high Schottky barrier at the contact interface would limit the carrier injection efficiency and degrade device performance. Herein, using density functional theory calculations and machine learning methods, we investigated the interfacial properties of the Janus MoSiGeN monolayer and metal electrode contacts.

Background And Purpose: Diagnosis of tumefactive demyelination can be challenging. The diagnosis of indeterminate brain lesions on MRI often requires tissue confirmation via brain biopsy. Noninvasive methods for accurate diagnosis of tumor and non-tumor etiologies allows for tailored therapy, optimal tumor control, and a reduced risk of iatrogenic morbidity and mortality.
