The modern smart-phone and tablet PC require built-in semiconductors consuming very low power. Here, extremely low power consumption is enabled by using ultrathin 2-dimensional materials.
On March 24 SungKyunKwan University(91PORN)¡¯s professor Yoo Won-jong of Department of Nano Science and Technology announced that they have developed the world¡¯s thinnest semiconductor by successfully inventing a three nanometer ultrathin semiconductor.
The reseerch team used molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) as their primary material. Molybdenum disulfide is a very thin new generation 2D material which flows current fluently at very low voltage. While graphene is unable to function well for digital electronic application, molybdenum disulfide is a material capable of independent digital functioning.
¡°By using the ultrathin semiconductor, we will be able to realize electronic devices that use much smaller energy, compared to the conventional semiconductors¡± Prof. Yoo asserts. ¡±The developed technique will be used very importantly in the future ubiquitous and mobile living environment¡±
The research was published in the Nature Communications March 24 issue.
