Molybdenum disulfide chips.
Molybdenum disulfide is a compound composed of molybdenum and sulfur that has great potential for making very small transistors, light-emitting diodes (leds) and solar cells.
In a 0.65nm thick MoS2 wafer, electrons can move as efficiently as in a 2nm thick silicon wafer, and its energy consumption can be reduced by 100,000 times.
MoS2 materials have excellent electrical properties that allow for precise and continuous control of the conductivity of the transistors they build, which is unmatched by graphene. Moreover, molybdenum disulfide is very sensitive to the charge stored in floating gate FET, so the researchers can develop circuits that can be used as both a memory storage unit and a programmable transistor. In addition, molybdenum disulfide enables multiple processing functions to be integrated into a single circuit and changed as needed.
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) because of its unique single-layer atomic structure and excellent photoelectric characteristics, is considered to be the most promising alternative to silicon, to become one of the ideal materials for future applications in semiconductor, transistor and chip and other sophisticated scientific and technological fields, therefore, in recent years, scientists have maintained a strong interest in molybdenum disulfide exploration and research.
