High-yield fabrication of suspended graphene membranes

Researchers from the Chair for Electronic Devices at RWTH and at AMO GmbH have demonstrated a method for fabricating large-scale arrays of micro cavities sealed by graphene membranes with high yield. High mechanical strength, extreme thinness and exceptional hermeticity make graphene an ideal material for the realisation of micro- and nanoelectromechanical systems based on suspended […]

A scalable approach for MoS 2-field-effect transistors with low contact resistance

Researchers from AMO GmbH and the Chair for Electronic Devices at RWTH Aachen University have experimentally demonstrated a scalable technique for realizing field-effect transistors based on two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), with low contact resistance (about 9 kΩ·µm) and high on/off current ratios of 108.   The approach is based on lateral heterostructures of MoS2 and […]

Kick-off meeting of the project 2D-ENGINE

The project 2D-ENGINE had its kick-off meeting on December 5, 2023, in a virtual and very effective form. The goal of the project is to synthesize novel two-dimensional (2D) materials that do not exist in nature in the bulk form, and to test their potential for various applications – from nanoscaled transistors, to waveguide-integrated LEDs […]
