physica status solidi (a), vol. 221

Abstract

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are a promising class of two‐dimensional (2D) materials for flexible electronic applications due to their low integration temperature, good electronic properties, and excellent mechanical flexibility. Moreover, TMDCs offer the possibility of co‐integrating both n‐ and p‐type transistors on the same substrate, enabling the realization of complementary metal‐oxide‐semiconductor (CMOS) circuits. In this study, n‐type MoS 2 field‐effect transistors (FETs), and p‐type WSe 2 ‐FETs integrated on a flexible foil substrate fabricated by standard thin‐film technology are presented. These devices exhibit high stability in their electronic operation under strain and repeated bending cycles. A CMOS inverter based on these transistors is also successfully demonstrated, which shows excellent switching behaviour with high gain (up to 100), high noise margin (0.87 · V DD ), and low average static power consumption (40 pW).
