Two-dimensional layered materials meet perovskite oxides: A combination for high-performance electronic devices

Abstract

As the Si-based transistors scale down to atomic dimensions, the basic principle of current electronics, which heavily relies on the tunable charge degree of freedom, faces increasing challenges to meet the future requirements of speed, switching energy, heat dissipation, packing density as well as functionalities. Heterogeneous integration, where dissimilar layers of materials and functionalities are unrestrictedly stacked at an atomic scale, is appealing to next-generation electronics, such as multi-functional, neuromorphic, spintronic and ultra-low power devices, because it unlocks technologically useful interfaces of distinct functionalities. Recently, the combination of functional perovskite oxides and the two-dimensional layered materials (2DLMs) led to unexpected functionalities and enhanced device performance. In this review, we review the recent progress of the heterogeneous integration of perovskite oxides and 2DLMs from the perspectives of fabrication and interfacial properties, electronic applications, challenges as well as outlooks. In particular, we focus on three types of attractive applications, namely field-effect transistors, memory, and neuromorphic electronics. The van der Waals integration approach is extendible to other oxides and 2DLMs, leading to almost unlimited combinations of oxides and 2DLMs and contributing to future high-performance electronic and spintronic devices.
