Identifying atomically thin isolated-band channels for intrinsic steep-slope transistors by high-throughput study.

Developing low-power FETs holds significant importance in advancing logic circuits, especially as the feature size of MOSFETs approaches sub-10 nanometers. However, this has been restricted by the thermionic limitation of SS, which is limited to 60 mV per decade at room temperature. Herein, we proposed a strategy that utilizes 2D semiconductors with an isolated-band feature as channels to realize sub-thermionic SS in MOSFETs.

Spatiotemporal evolution of ultrafast photocarrier dynamics across WS2-ReS2 lateral interface.

2D lateral heterostructures possess atomically sharp lateral interfaces, while understanding of their ultrafast photocarrier dynamics from a spatiotemporal viewpoint is rather elusive. In this study, we have investigated the spatiotemporal evolution of photocarrier dynamics across the 1D lateral interface of a WS2-ReS2 2D lateral heterostructure utilizing femtosecond laser pump-probe. The nontrivial band offset across the 1D lateral interface markedly mediates the spatiotemporal photocarrier transfer and transport processes.
