Researchers have found a way to make the chip design and manufacturing process much easier — by tapping into a hybrid blend ...

Coplanar semiconductor–metal circuitry defined on few-layer MoTe2 via polymorphic heteroepitaxy. Nature Nanotechnology, 2017; DOI: 10.1038/NNANO.2017.161 ...

In traditional CMOS technology, metal-semiconductor (MS) contact schemes, with transition-metal silicides (such as nickel (Ni) silicides) on the metal side, are used to form the source/drain contacts.

Due to the improved contact interface, 2D semiconductor transistors fabricated using this technique exhibited more than 95% reduction in off-state current and a 50% decrease in subthreshold swing ...

The history of the diode is a fun one as it’s rife with accidental discoveries, sometimes having to wait decades for a use for what was found. Two examples of that are our first two topics: t… ...

At its core, computing relies on manipulating electric currents and fields. But as devices shrink to the nanometer scale, controlling these flows becomes increasingly difficult. Wires and transistors ...
