Performance Limits of Monolayer Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Transistors

The performance limits of monolayer transition metal dichalcogenide transistors are examined with a ballistic MOSFET model. Using ab-initio theory, we calculate the band structures of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalco-genide (MX2). We find the lattice structures of monolayer MX2 remain the same as the bulk MX2. Within the ballistic regime, the performances of monolayer MX2 transistors are better compared to the silicon transistors if thin high-κ gate insulator is used. This makes monolayer MX2 promising 2D materials for future nanoelectronic device applications.
