Since the discovery of mechanically exfoliated graphene in 2004, research on ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials has grown exponentially in the fields of condensed matter physics, material science, chemistry, and nanotechnology. Highlighting their compelling physical, chemical, electronic, and optical properties, as well as their various potential applications, in this Review, we summarize the state-of-art progress on the ultrathin 2D nanomaterials with a particular emphasis on their recent advances. First, we introduce the unique advances on ultrathin 2D nanomaterials, followed by the description of their composition and crystal structures. The assortments of their synthetic methods are then summarized, including insights on their advantages and limitations, alongside some recommendations on suitable characterization techniques. We also discuss in detail the utilization of these ultrathin 2D nanomaterials for wide ranges of potential applications among the electronics/optoelectronics, electrocat...

Recent Advances in Ultrathin Two-Dimensional Nanomaterials

Gallium oxide (Ga2O3) is emerging as a viable candidate for certain classes of power electronics, solar blind UV photodetectors, solar cells, and sensors with capabilities beyond existing technologies due to its large bandgap. It is usually reported that there are five different polymorphs of Ga2O3, namely, the monoclinic (β-Ga2O3), rhombohedral (α), defective spinel (γ), cubic (δ), or orthorhombic (e) structures. Of these, the β-polymorph is the stable form under normal conditions and has been the most widely studied and utilized. Since melt growth techniques can be used to grow bulk crystals of β-GaO3, the cost of producing larger area, uniform substrates is potentially lower compared to the vapor growth techniques used to manufacture bulk crystals of GaN and SiC. The performance of technologically important high voltage rectifiers and enhancement-mode Metal-Oxide Field Effect Transistors benefit from the larger critical electric field of β-Ga2O3 relative to either SiC or GaN. However, the absence of clear demonstrations of p-type doping in Ga2O3, which may be a fundamental issue resulting from the band structure, makes it very difficult to simultaneously achieve low turn-on voltages and ultra-high breakdown. The purpose of this review is to summarize recent advances in the growth, processing, and device performance of the most widely studied polymorph, β-Ga2O3. The role of defects and impurities on the transport and optical properties of bulk, epitaxial, and nanostructures material, the difficulty in p-type doping, and the development of processing techniques like etching, contact formation, dielectrics for gate formation, and passivation are discussed. Areas where continued development is needed to fully exploit the properties of Ga2O3 are identified.

Wrinkled, rippled and crumpled graphene: an overview of formation mechanism, electronic properties, and applications

Power semiconductor devices are key components in power conversion systems. Silicon carbide (SiC) has received increasing attention as a wide-bandgap semiconductor suitable for high-voltage and low-loss power devices. Through recent progress in the crystal growth and process technology of SiC, the production of medium-voltage (600?1700 V) SiC Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) and power metal?oxide?semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) has started. However, basic understanding of the material properties, defect electronics, and the reliability of SiC devices is still poor. In this review paper, the features and present status of SiC power devices are briefly described. Then, several important aspects of the material science and device physics of SiC, such as impurity doping, extended and point defects, and the impact of such defects on device performance and reliability, are reviewed. Fundamental issues regarding SiC SBDs and power MOSFETs are also discussed.

Emerging trends in wide band gap semiconductors (SiC and GaN) technology for power devices

The electrical characterization of nickel silicide Schottky contacts on silicon carbide (4H–SiC) is reported in this article. In spite of the nearly ideal behavior of the contact at room temperature (n=1.05), the electrical behavior monitored in a wide temperature range exhibited a deviation from the ideality at lower temperatures, thus suggesting that an inhomogeneous barrier has actually formed. A description of the experimental results by the Tung’s model, i.e., considering an effective area of the inhomogeneous contact, provided a procedure for a correct determination of the Richardson’s constant A**. An effective area lower than the geometric area of the diode is responsible for the commonly observed discrepancy in the experimental values of A** from its theoretical value in silicon carbide. The same method was applied to Ti/4H–SiC contacts.

The temperature dependence of the electrical properties of Pt∕GaN Schottky barrier was studied. In particular, a Schottky barrier height of 0.96eV and an ideality factor of 1.16 were found after a postdeposition annealing at 400°C. Nanoscale electrical characterization was carried out by the conductive biased tip of an atomic force microscope both on the bare GaN surface and on the Pt∕GaN contacts. The presence of a lateral inhomogeneity of the Schottky barrier, with a Gaussian distribution of the barrier height values, was demonstrated. Moreover, GaN surface defects were demonstrated to act as local preferential paths for the current conduction. The temperature dependent electrical characteristics of the diodes were discussed in terms of the existing models on inhomogeneous barriers and correlated to the nanoscale electrical characterization of the barrier. In this way, the anomalous electrical behavior of the ideality factor and of the Schottky barrier and the low experimental value of the Richardson’s ...
