Understanding High-Field Electron Transport Properties of Monolayer Transition Metal Dichalcogenides and Strain Effects

Chenmu Zhang, Long Cheng, Yuanyue Liu

Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (MX2) are promising candidates for future electronics. Although the transport properties (e.g. mobility) at low electric field have been…

Why Two-Dimensional Semiconductors Generally Have Low Electron Mobility

Long Cheng, Chenmu Zhang, Yuanyue Liu

Atomically thin (two-dimensional, 2D) semiconductors have shown great potential as the fundamental building blocks for next-generation electronics. However, all the 2D semiconducto…

Enhancing Interconnect Reliability and Performance by Converting Tantalum to 2D Layered Tantalum Sulfide at Low Temperature

Chun-Li Lo, Massimo Catalano, Ava Khosravi +9

The interconnect half-pitch size will reach ~20 nm in the coming sub-5 nm technology node. Meanwhile, the TaN/Ta (barrier/liner) bilayer stack has to be > 4 nm to ensure acceptable…

Dislocations and Grain Boundaries in Two-Dimensional Boron Nitride

Yuanyue Liu, Xiaolong Zou, Boris I. Yakobson

A new dislocation structure-square-octagon pair (4|8) is discovered in two-dimensional boron nitride (h-BN), via first-principles calculations. It has lower energy than correspondi…
