World's First 2D, Atom-Thin Non-Silicon Computer Developed
In a world first, a research team used 2D materials — only an atom thick — to develop a computer. The team (led by researchers at Pennsylvania State University) says it's a major step toward thinner, faster and more energy-efficient electronics. From the University's announcement: ...
From the University's announcement: They created a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor(CMOS) computer — technology at the heart of nearly every modern electronic device — without relying on silicon. "Two-dimensional materials, by contrast, maintain their exceptional electronic properties at atomic thickness, offering a promising path forward...." By carefully tuning the device fabrication and post-processing steps, they were able to adjust the threshold voltages of both n- and p-type transistors, enabling the construction of fully functional CMOS logic circuits.
