Nanoscale Devices based on Two-dimensional Materials and Ferroelectric Materials

ABSTRACT:

Further scaling of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) dimensions will soon lead to a tremendous rise in power consumption while limited gain in the performance of integrated circuits. “Beyond-CMOS” devices, based on new materials, device concepts and architectures, can potentially overcome these limitations and further improve the performance, reduce energy consumption, and add novel functionalities to the CMOS platform. In this talk, I will present nanoscale electronic and photonic devices based on two-dimensional (2D) materials and ferroelectric materials. I will discuss how the unique properties of 2D materials and their interplay with ferroelectric materials enable new functionalities and applications of nanoscale devices.
