Comparison Between a Wtandard 3-D FET Transistor and the Newly Developed 2-D FET Made Only with Moly

Caption

The standard 3-D FET has two electrodes (source and drain, S and D) made of doped silicon and a semiconducting channel in between. When the transistor is on, the electrons move from the source to the drain passing through the channel. The 2-D FET featured in this study uses MoTe2 for both metal (red) and semiconductor (yellow), reducing off-current effects and dangling bonds which are becoming a problem with the smaller 3-D transistors.
