Flexible electronics can benefit from ultra-thin materials of atomic thickness, which are used for manufacturing microprocessors. Recent breakthroughs have been made in this area by researchers at the Vienna University of Technology, Vienna, and the EU's flagship graphene project. These researchers are expected promote the development of intelligent hardware and applications such as Internet of Things.
"Two dimensional material" is a material which can move freely in two dimensions (1-100nm) of non-nanoscale, such as graphene or transition metal compounds, like tungsten dielenide, molybdenum sulfide and two Tungsten sulfide.
The two-dimensional materials are usually composed of several layers of molecules. Our previous focus was on graphene. Some other materials, like transition metal disulfide compound, which are similar to the graphene material, are two-dimensional as well. The materials are soft, small, light, and of low weight. But they also have excellent semiconductor properties, making them ideal for flexible electronic gadgets. .
Microprocessors form the basis of modern electronics. Whether they are consumer electronics like smart watches, smartphones, smart home appliances or high-tech items such as supercomputers and CNC machine tools for missile precision guidance as well as automobile engine control, microprocessors play a key role.
A microprocessor, which is a core part of the microcomputer, consists of one or more large-scale integrated chips that are capable of reading and executing instructions and exchanging data with external logic and memory components.
Thomas Mueller of Vienna's Technical University has been studying two-dimensional material. He believes that materials with two dimensions are the best candidates for manufacturing microprocessors in the future. Molybdenum diulfide, which is composed of sulfur and molybdenum, only has three atoms of thickness, making it a two dimensional material.
In order to achieve this, he worked with the researchers of Technical University of Vienna as well the EU Graphene Flagship Project to create a MoS2 transistor. This material is a two-dimensional "molybdenum sulfide". A new type of microprocessor is formed by 115 such transistors. This kind of microprocessor currently performs one-bit logical operations. It is expected that it will expand in the near future to multi-bit operation.
