Two-dimensional materials for ubiquitous electronics

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.
