Imec, ASML, TSMC achieve 50nm pitch for 2D transistors

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Imec, ASML, and TSMC have successfully fabricated complementary 2D-material transistors on a 300mm wafer, achieving a 50nm pitch. This breakthrough integrates both n-type and p-type transistors with atomically thin 2D channels, a significant step towards overcoming the scaling limitations of silicon. The process utilized a single extreme ultraviolet (EUV) exposure to print channels as short as 28nm, with 94% of the transistors functioning correctly and demonstrating high on/off current ratios. This achievement marks a milestone in scaling 2D transistors by integrating both polarities on standard production tooling, using a novel "reverse" thin-film-transistor flow to address contact resistance issues.
