Abstract:
3D monolithic integration of logic and memory has been the most sought after solution to surpass the Von Neumann bottleneck, for which a low-temperature processed material system becomes inevitable. Two-dimensional materials, with their excellent electrical properties and low thermal budget are potential candidates. Here, we demonstrate a low-temperature hybrid co-integration of one-transistor-one-resistor memory cell, comprising a surface functionalized 2D WSe2 p-FET, with a solution-processed WSe2 Resistive Random Access Memory. The employed plasma oxidation technique results in a low Schottky barrier height of 25 meV with a mobility of 230 cm2 V-1 s-1, leading to a 100x performance enhanced WSe2 p-FET, while the defective WSe2 Resistive Random Access Memory exhibits a switching energy of 2.6 pJ per bit. Furthermore, guided by our device-circuit modelling, we propose vertically stacked channel FETs for high-density sub-0.01 μm2 memory cells, offering a new beyond-Si solution to enable 3-D embedded memories for future computing systems.

Semiconductors
Metals such as copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), or lead (Pb) have low resistivity and feature conduction bands that are either not fully occupied or overlap with the valence band, making a bandgap non-existent. This allows electrons in the highest energy levels of the valence band to easily transition to the conduction band upon gaining...
