Carbon engineering turns insulating boron nitride into a wafer-scale p-type semiconductor
Nanowerk ·
The Brief
- Researchers grew atomically thin boron carbon nitride on a 2-inch wafer.
- The material is used to build p-type transistors that the researchers report as high-performance.
- The work is presented as a route toward complementary 2D electronics.
Why it matters
Complementary circuits need both p-type and n-type semiconductors, and a wafer-scale p-type 2D material is a step toward making 2D electronics practical to manufacture.
