Two‐Dimensional Semiconductors: From Device Processing to Circuit Integration

Abstract The atomically thin nature and exceptional electrical properties of 2D materials (2DMs) have garnered significant interest in circuit applications. Researchers have developed circuits based on wafer‐level 2DM fabrication and monolithic integration in the laboratory. Numerous studies have been conducted on discrete device processes; however, circuit manufacturing is a multifaceted and methodical engineering process that demands seamless integration of multiple procedures. Notably, the optimization of crucial processes holds paramount significance in achieving expected results. This review presents the existing research on process integration of 2DM devices and circuit applications. The selection of suitable 2DMs for circuit applications is outlined, considering their excellent theoretical properties and feasible high‐quality growth processes. Drawing on highly mature semiconductor manufacturing process, while incorporating customized key processes, 2DM devices have the potential to strongly compete with, and even outperform, the conventional devices. Finally, the recent circuit applications of 2DMs are also discussed in detail. 2DM integrated circuits (2DM ICs) are now being practically applied in advanced manufacturing, transitioning from laboratory development to fabrication plant deployment. The implementation of underlying 2DM IC fabrication provides effective and unique solutions for More Moore, More than Moore, and Beyond CMOS technology routes.
