Abstract
Achieving effective polarity control of n- and p-type transistors based on two-dimensional (2D) materials is a critical challenge in the process of integrating transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) into complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) logic circuits. Herein, we utilized a proficient and nondestructive method of electron-charge transfer to achieve a complete carrier polarity conversion from p-to n-type by depositing a thin layer of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) onto tungsten diselenide (WSe2). By utilizing the Al2O3 passivation layer, we observed precisely tuned n-type behavior in contrast to transistors fabricated on the as-grown WSe2 film without any passivation layer, which display prominent p-type behavior. The polarity-transformed n-type WSe2 transistor from the pristine p-type shows the maximum ON current of ∼0.1 μA accompanied by a high electron mobility of 7 cm2 V-1 s-1 at a drain voltage (VDS) of 1 V. We successfully showcased a homogeneous CMOS inverter utilizing 2D-TMDC which exhibits an impressive voltage gain of 7 at VDD = 5 V. Moreover, this effective polarity control approach was further expanded upon to successfully demonstrate a range of logic circuits such as AND, OR, NAND, NOR logic gates, and SRAM. The proposed methodology possesses significant promise for facilitating the advancement of high-density circuitry components utilizing 2D-TMDC.

Abstract
Neuromorphic vision has been attracting much attention due to its advantages over conventional machine vision (e.g., lower data redundancy and lower power consumption). Here we develop synaptic phototransistors based on the silicon nanomembrane (Si NM), which are coupled with lead sulfide quantum dots (PbS QDs) and poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) to form a heterostructure with distinct photogating. Synaptic phototransistors with optical stimulation have outstanding synaptic functionalities ranging from ultraviolet (UV) to near-infrared (NIR). The broadband synaptic functionalities enable an array of synaptic phototransistors to achieve the perception of brightness and color. In addition, an array of synaptic phototransistors is capable of simultaneous sensing, processing, and memory, which well mimics human vision.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) have attracted tremendous interest for transistor applications. However, the fabrication of 2D transistors using traditional lithography or deposition processes often causes undesired damage and contamination to the atomically thin lattices, partially degrading the device performance and leading to large variation between devices. Here we demonstrate a highly reproducible van der Waals integration process for wafer-scale fabrication of high-performance transistors and logic circuits from monolayer MoS2 grown by chemical vapour deposition. By designing a quartz/polydimethylsiloxane semirigid stamp and adapting a standard photolithography mask-aligner for the van der Waals integration process, our strategy ensures a uniform mechanical force and a bubble-free wrinkle-free interface during the pickup/release process, which is crucial for robust van der Waals integration over a large area. Our scalable van der Waals integration process allows damage-free integration of high-quality contacts on monolayer MoS2 at the wafer scale and enables high-performance 2D transistors. The van-der-Waals-contacted devices display an atomically clean interface with much smaller threshold variation, higher on-current, smaller off-current, larger on/off ratio and smaller subthreshold swing than those fabricated with conventional lithography. The approach is further used to create various logic gates and circuits, including inverters with a voltage gain of up to 585, and logic OR gates, NAND gates, AND gates and half-adder circuits. This scalable van der Waals integration method may be useful for reliable integration of 2D semiconductors with mature industry technology, facilitating the technological transition of 2D semiconductor electronics.

Abstract
Nanophotonics and optoelectronics are the keys to the information transmission technology field. The performance of the devices crucially depends on the light-matter interaction, and it is found that three-dimensional (3D) structures may be associated with strong light field regulation for advantageous application. Recently, 3D assembly of flexible nanomembranes has attracted increasing attention in optical field, and novel optoelectronic device applications have been demonstrated with fantastic 3D design. In this review, we first introduce the fabrication of various materials in the form of nanomembranes. On the basis of the deformability of nanomembranes, 3D structures can be built by patterning and release steps. Specifically, assembly methods to build 3D nanomembrane are summarized as rolling, folding, buckling and pick-place methods. Incorporating functional materials and constructing fine structures are two important development directions in 3D nanophotonics and optoelectronics, and we settle previous researches on these two aspects. The extraordinary performance and applicability of 3D devices show the potential of nanomembrane assembly for future optoelectronic applications in multiple areas.

Abstract
The recent report of a p-type graphene(Gr)/carbon-nanotube(CNT) barristor facilitates the application of graphene barristors in the fabrication of complementary logic devices. Here, a complementary inverter is presented that combines a p-type Gr/CNT barristor with a n-type Gr/MoS2 barristor, and its characteristics are reported. A sub-nW (~0.2 nW) low-power inverter is demonstrated with a moderate gain of 2.5 at an equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) of ~15 nm. Compared to inverters based on field-effect transistors, the sub-nW power consumption was achieved at a much larger EOT, which was attributed to the excellent switching characteristics of Gr barristors.

Abstract
Beyond conventional silicon, emerging semiconductor materials have been actively investigated for the development of integrated circuits (ICs). Considerable effort has been put into implementing complementary circuits using non-silicon emerging materials, such as organic semiconductors, carbon nanotubes, metal oxides, transition metal dichalcogenides, and perovskites. Whereas shortcomings of each candidate semiconductor limit the development of complementary ICs, an approach of hybrid materials is considered as a new solution to the complementary integration process. This article revisits recent advances in hybrid-material combination-based complementary circuits. This review summarizes the strong and weak points of the respective candidates, focusing on their complementary circuit integrations. We also discuss the opportunities and challenges presented by the prospect of hybrid integration.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) materials have been considered key materials for the future logic devices due to the excellent electrostatic integrity originating from their ultrathin nature. However, the carrier polarity control of 2D material field-effect transistors (FETs) still remains a challenging issue, hindering the realization of complementary logic function in the 2D material platform. Here, we report a comprehensive study on the electrical characteristics of PdSe2 FETs with different metal contacts. It is found that the carrier polarity in PdSe2 FETs can be modulated simply by changing the metal contact due to the weak Fermi-level pinning in PdSe2. We demonstrate a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) inverter using the same channel material PdSe2 for n- and p-MOSFETs but with different metal contacts, suggesting the possible realization of PdSe2-based CMOS logic circuits.

Abstract
Owing to their superior carrier mobility, strong light-matter interactions, and flexibility at the atomically thin thickness, two-dimensional (2D) materials are attracting wide interest for application in electronic and optoelectronic devices, including rectifying diodes, transistors, memory, photodetectors, and light-emitting diodes. At the heart of these devices, Schottky, PN, and tunneling junctions are playing an essential role in defining device function. Intriguingly, the ultrathin thickness and unique van der Waals (vdW) interlayer coupling in 2D materials has rendered enormous opportunities for the design and tailoring of various 2D junctions, e.g. using Lego-like hetero-stacking, surface decoration, and field-effect modulation methods. Such flexibility has led to marvelous breakthroughs during the exploration of 2D electronics and optoelectronic devices. To advance further, it is imperative to provide an overview of existing strategies for the engineering of various 2D junctions for their integration in the future. Thus, in this review, we provide a comprehensive survey of previous efforts toward 2D Schottky, PN, and tunneling junctions, and the functional devices built from them. Though these junctions exhibit similar configurations, distinct strategies have been developed for their optimal figures of merit based on their working principles and functional purposes.

Abstract
Although two-dimensional (2D) layered molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has widespread electrical applications in catalysis, energy storage, and photodetection, there are few reports available regarding sputtered MoS2 for piezoresistive sensors. In this research, we found that the resistance of magnetron sputtered MoS2 on a flexible substrate changed significantly and regularly when pressure was applied. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM) images revealed an MoS2 micro-grain-like structure comprising nano-scale particles with grooves between the particles. Chemical characterization data confirmed the successful growth of amorphous MoS2 on a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate. A micro-thickness film flexible sensor was designed and fabricated. In particular, the sensor with a 1.5 μm thick polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate exhibited the best resistance performance, displaying a maximum ΔR/R of 70.39 with a piezoresistive coefficient as high as 866.89 MPa−1 while the pressure was 0.46 MPa. A proposed flexible pressure sensor based on an MoS2 film was also successfully used as a wearable pressure sensor to measure plantar pressure and demonstrated good repeatability. The results showed that the thin film pressure sensor had good piezoresistive performance and high sensitivity.

Abstract
For the last decade, two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have attracted considerable attention due to their unique physical and chemical properties. Novel devices based on these materials are commonly fabricated using the exfoliated samples, which lacks control of the thickness and cannot be scaled. Therefore, the synthesis of large-area TMDC thin films with a high uniformity to advance the field is required. This article reviews the latest advances in the synthesis of wafer-scale thin films using chemical vapor deposition methods. The key factors that determine the electrical performance of TMDCs are introduced, including the interfacial properties and defects. The latest solution-based techniques which suggest the opportunity to obtain large-area TMDC thin films with a low-cost process and the potential applications in electronics and optoelectronics are also discussed. The outlook for future research directions, challenges, and possible development of 2D materials are further discussed.

Abstract
Reliable and controllable doping of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) is a mandatory requirement for practical large-scale electronic applications. However, most of the literature on the doping methodologies of TMDCs has focused on n-type doping and multilayer TMDC rather than a monolayer one enabling large-scale growth. Herein, we report substitutional fluorine doping of a chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-grown molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) monolayer film using a delicate SF6 plasma treatment. Our SF6-treated MoS2 monolayer shows a p-type doping effect with fluorine substitution. The doping concentration is controlled by the plasma treatment time (2-4.9 atom %) while maintaining the structural integrity of the MoS2 monolayer. Such reliable and tunable substitutional doping is attributed to preventing direct ion bombardment to the MoS2 monolayer by our gentle plasma treatment system. Finally, we fabricated MoS2 homojunction flexible inverter device arrays based on the pristine and SF6-treated MoS2 monolayer. A clear switching behavior is observed, and the voltage gain is approximately 8 at an applied VDD of 2 V, which is comparable to that of CVD-grown MoS2-based inverter devices reported previously. Obtained voltage gain is also stable even after 500 bending cycles at an applied strain of 0.5%.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have been the focus of materials research for many years due to their unique fascinating properties and large specific surface area (SSA). They are very sensitive to the analytes (ions, glucose, DNA, protein, etc.), resulting in their wide-spread development in the field of sensing. New 2D materials, as the basis of applications, are constantly being fabricated and comprehensively studied. In a variety of sensing applications, the solution-gated transistor (SGT) is a promising biochemical sensing platform because it can work at low voltage in different electrolytes, which is ideal for monitoring body fluids in wearable electronics, e-skin, or implantable devices. However, there are still some key challenges, such as device stability and reproducibility, that must be faced in order to pave the way for the development of cost-effective, flexible, and transparent SGTs with 2D materials. In this review, the device preparation, device physics, and the latest application prospects of 2D materials-based SGTs are systematically presented. Besides, a bold perspective is also provided for the future development of these devices.

Abstract
The sensing module that converts physical or chemical stimuli into electrical signals is the core of future smart electronics in the post-Moore era. Challenges lie in the realization and integration of different detecting functions on a single chip. We propose a new design of on-chip construction for low-power consumption sensor, which is based on the optoelectronic detection mechanism with external stimuli and compatible with CMOS technology. A combination of flipped silicon nanomembrane phototransistors and stimuli-responsive materials presents low-power consumption (CMOS level) and demonstrates great functional expansibility of sensing targets, e.g., hydrogen concentration and relative humidity. With a device-first, wafer-compatible process introduced for large-scale silicon flexible electronics, our work shows great potential in the development of flexible and integrated smart sensing systems for the realization of Internet of Things applications.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have attracted considerable attention for the development of ultra-thin body transistors. However, the polarity control of 2D transistors and the achievement of complementary logic functions remain critical challenges. Here, we report a doping-free strategy to modulate the polarity of WSe2 transistors using same contact metal but different integration methods. By applying low-energy van der Waals integration of Au electrodes, we observed robust and optimized p-type transistor behavior, which is in great contrast to the transistors fabricated on the same WSe2 flake using conventional deposited Au contacts with pronounced n-type characteristics. With the ability to switch majority carrier type and to achieve optimized contact for both electrons and holes, a doping-free logic inverter is demonstrated with higher voltage gain of 340, at the bias voltage of 5.5 V. Furthermore, the simple polarity control strategy is extended for realizing more complex logic functions such as NAND and NOR.

Abstract
Construction of atomically thin p-n junctions helps to build highly compact electronic and photonic devices for on-chip optoelectronic applications. In this work, lateral nonvolatile MoTe2 p-n diodes are constructed on the basis of the MoTe2/h-BN/graphene semifloating gate field-effect transistor (SFG-FET) configuration. The achieved diodes exhibit excellent rectifying behaviors (rectification ratio up to 8 × 103) and typical photovoltaic properties (with power conversion efficiency of 0.5%). Through manipulating the polarity of the stored charges in the semifloating gate, such rectifying behaviors and photovoltaic properties can be erased, resulting in a high conduction state ( n + -n junction). Such erasable and programmable behaviors further enable us to develop logic optoelectronic devices, realizing the switching of the device between different power conversion states and functional AND and OR optical logic gates. We believe that the achieved MoTe2-based SFG-FET devices with interesting logic optoelectronic functions will enrich the modern photoelectrical interconnected circuits.

Abstract
Black phosphorus (BP), a fast emerging 2D material, has shown great potential in future electronics and optoelectronics owing to its outstanding properties including sizable band gap and ambipolar transport characteristics. However, its hole conduction dominance, featured by a much larger hole mobility and the corresponding on-current than that of the electrons, renders the reliable modulation of its carrier type and density a key challenge, thereby hindering its application to complementary electronics. Here, we demonstrate an efficient and reliable n-type doping for BP transistors via surface functionalization by atomic layer deposited magnesium oxide (MgO) with favorable controllability. By optimizing the MgO thickness, an electron mobility of up to 95.5 cm2 V-1 s-1 is reached with a simultaneous significant suppression of hole conduction. Subsequently, a high-performance complementary logic inverter is demonstrated within a single BP flake, which operates well with a supply voltage as low as <0.5 V, outperforming reported BP inverters in terms of logic level match, power consumption and process feasibility. Our findings suggest that surface charge transfer doping via MgO can be used as a promising technique towards high performance BP-based functional nanoelectronics.

Abstract
A novel method of fabricating flexible thin-film transistor based on single-crystalline Si nanomembrane (SiNM) with high- k Nb2O5-Bi2O3-MgO (BMN) ceramic gate dielectric on a plastic substrate is demonstrated in this paper. SiNMs are successfully transferred to a flexible polyethylene terephthalate substrate, which has been plated with indium-tin-oxide (ITO) conductive layer and high- k BMN ceramic gate dielectric layer by room-temperature magnetron sputtering. The BMN ceramic gate dielectric layer demonstrates as high as ∼109 dielectric constant, with only dozens of pA current leakage. The Si-BMN-ITO heterostructure has only ∼nA leakage current at the applied voltage of 3 V. The transistor is shown to work at a high current on/off ratio of above 104, and the threshold voltage is ∼1.3 V, with over 200 cm2/(V s) effective channel electron mobility. Bending tests have been conducted and show that the flexible transistors have good tolerance on mechanical bending strains. These characteristics indicate that the flexible single-crystalline SiNM transistors with BMN ceramics as gate dielectric have great potential for applications in high-performance integrated flexible circuit.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have become promising candidates for nanoelectronics applications due to their unique layered structure and rich physical properties. However, the significant lack of reproducible p-type doping methods that can avoid the instability induced by the widely used charge transfer doping method greatly limits the applications of these semiconductors in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) integrated digital circuits. This work presents a new scheme to realize stable p-type doping for WS2 with excellent layer controllability, wafer-level uniformity, and high reproducibility at the same time. The p-type WS2 was produced by introducing substitutional doping of sulfur with nitrogen atoms during the sulfurization of WOxNy film. Nitrogen atoms acted as acceptors moving the Fermi level of WS2 toward the valance band. Both experimental and theoretical investigations were designed to study the physical properties of the films fabricated. The WS2 based field-effect transistors exhibited a well-defined p-type behavior with a large on/off current ratio of ∼105 and a high hole mobility of ∼18.8 cm2 V-1 s-1. This opens up a promising method to realize stable p-type doping of 2D materials, which is very attractive for future large-scale 2D CMOS device applications.
