Ultra-small, high-performance electronics grown directly on 2D semiconductors

In recent years, electronics engineers have been trying to identify semiconducting materials that could substitute for silicon and enable the further advancement of electronic devices. Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂), have proved to be among the most promising solutions, as their thinness and resistance to short-channel effects could yield highly performing and smaller electronics.
