Bandgap Modulation in BP Field Effect Transistor and Its Applications

Abstract

Black phosphorus (BP), an emerging crystal material with prominent features such as high carrier mobility and easily modulated band structure, fills the deficiencies of graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides. It has become a key component of 2D materials. The biggest advantage of BP is reflected in the fixed and direct energy band structure. Starting from the introduction of BP's crystal structure, this work reviews the important role of doping strategies, van der Waals heterojunction, and contact engineering thickness control technology in bandgap adjustment and performance improvement of BP field effect transistors. The focus is to put on the enhanced performance of electronic devices in high mobility, fast response speed, wide spectral range, low power consumption, and stronger stability caused by bandgap modulation. These methods cover from advanced technology to a wide range of electrical and optoelectronic progress in recent years, showing a booming development trend. In addition, considering the breakthrough of BP in new physics and application prospects, the potential applications of the active field are highlighted in this work.

Recent progress in three-terminal artificial synapses based on 2D materials: from mechanisms to applications

“…Figure 1 shows a comparison between an artificial neural network and a biological network. At present, research on three-and multipleterminal synaptic transistors is still preliminary, and neuromorphic transistors have mainly focused on four types: synapses based on floating gate-regulated, ferroelectric, photoelectric and electromechanical field effect transistors (FETs) 34,[84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91][92][93][94][95][96][97] .…”
