Nanotechweb.org reports that Researchers in the US have unveiled a new CMOS-compatible technology to integrate different two-dimensional materials into a single electronic device. The team, led by Tomás Palacios of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, constructed large-scale electronic circuits based on graphene and molybdenum sulphide heterostructures grown by chemical vapour deposition where MoS2 was used as a transistor channel, and graphene as contact electrodes and circuit interconnects. The fabrication process itself might be extended to fabricate heterostructures from any type of 2D layered material with potential applications in flexible and transparent electronics, sensors, tunnelling FETs and high-electron mobility transistors.

Abstract: Two-dimensional (2D) materials have generated great interest in the past few years as a new toolbox for electronics. This family of materials includes, among others, metallic graphene, semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (such as MoS2), and insulating boron nitride. These materials and their heterostructures offer excellent mechanical flexibility, optical transparency, and favorable transport properties for realizing electronic, sensing, and optical systems on arbitrary surfaces. In this paper, we demonstrate a novel technology for constructing large-scale electronic systems based on graphene/molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) heterostructures grown by chemical vapor deposition. We have fabricated high-performance devices and circuits based on this heterostructure, where MoS2 is used as the transistor channel and graphene as contact electrodes and circuit interconnects. We provide a systematic comparison of the graphene/MoS2 heterojunction contact to more traditional MoS2-metal junctions, as well as a theoretical investigation, using density functional theory, of the origin of the Schottky barrier height. The tunability of the graphene work function with electrostatic doping significantly improves the ohmic contact to MoS2. These high-performance large-scale devices and circuits based on this 2D heterostructure pave the way for practical flexible transparent electronics.
