    Engineers Grow ‘Perfect’ Atom-Thin Materials on Industrial Silicon Wafers

    January 19, 2023, Categories  Physics, Technology/Electronics

    A pink wafer has square holes in a grid. The wafer is repeated 3 times. On top left, green and white atoms randomly float around the wafer. In the middle, the atoms line up inside the square holes in triangular formations. On the right, a closeup shows the perfectly lined-up rows of atoms.
    Caption:By depositing atoms on a wafer coated in a “mask” (top left), MIT engineers can corral the atoms in the mask’s individual pockets (center middle), and encourage the atoms to grow into perfect, 2D, single-crystalline layers (bottom right).

    Their technique could allow chip manufacturers to produce next generation transistors based on materials other than silicon. Engineers fabricated 2D materials that could lead to next-generation transistors and electronic films.

    True to Moore’s Law, the number of transistors on a microchip has doubled every year since the 1960s...
