Abstract : The continued shrinking trend of the electronic devices’ size s over the past decades has supported the growing demand for improved perf ormance as well as increasing multifunctionalities within a small form-fac tor. 2D materials -nowadays a rather large class of only a few atoms -thin materials - could further extend such trajectory. They are naturally the thinnest materials\, intrinsically multifunctional\, and available as semi conductors\, semimetals and insulators. 2D materials have ushered us to an “era of surfaces”. This is unchartered territory for the semiconducto r industry\, as conventional knowledge around surfaces\, doping\, defects and bandgap of a thin film are all challenged. Technological choices only based on the pristine properties of a standalone 2D material would be misl eading. After a short preamble about the use of semiconductor 2D materials such as transition metal dichalcogenides for advanced FETs\, we will expl ore some exciting applications of graphene as a multifunctional\, dynamica lly tunable semimetal.
\nShort bio: Francesca Iacop i is an IEEE and MRS Fellow with nearly 30 years’ international industri al and academic R&\;D expertise in semiconductor technologies spanning interconnects\, devices and packaging. Her focus is the translation of bas ic scientific advances in nanomaterials and novel device concepts into imp lementable integrated technologies. She is known for her seminal work on t he integration of porous dielectrics in on-chip interconnects\, and for th e invention of the alloy -mediated epitaxial graphene platform on SiC on s ilicon wafers. She was recipient of an MRS Gold Graduate Student Award (20 03)\, an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship (2012)\, a Global I nnovation Award in Washington DC (2014) and was listed among the most inno vative engineers by Engineers Australia (2018). Francesca regularly serves in technical and strategic committees for IEEE and the Materials Research Society. She is also the founder and inaugural Editor-in-Chief of the IEE E Trans. on Materials for Electron Devices.
