Flexible electronics can benefit from ultra-thin materials of atomic thickness, which are used for manufacturing microprocessors. Recent breakthroughs have been made in this area by researchers at the Vienna University of Technology, Vienna, and the EU’s flagship graphene project. These breakthroughs are expected promote the development of Internet of Things applications and intelligent hardware.

“Two-dimensional Material” is a term used to describe a material which can be moved freely (planar movement) in only two dimensions on a non-nanoscale (between 1 and 100 nm), for example graphene or transition metal compounds, such as tungsten dielenide, molybdenum sulfide.

The two-dimensional materials are usually composed of several layers of molecules. Our previous focus was on graphene. Some other materials, like transition metal disulfide compound, which are similar to the graphene material, are two-dimensional as well. The materials are soft, small, light, and of low weight. But they also have excellent semiconductor characteristics. .

Microprocessors form the basis of modern electronics. Microprocessors play a key role in all electronics products.

A microprocessor, which is a core part of the microcomputer, is a large-scale integrated chip that can read and process instructions and exchange data with external logic components and memory.

Thomas Mueller of Vienna’s Technical University has been studying two-dimensional material. He believes that materials with two dimensions are the best candidates for manufacturing microprocessors in the future. Molybdenum diulfide, a material composed of molybdenum molecules and sulfur molecules, is only three atoms thick, making it a two dimensional material.

In order to achieve this, he worked with the research team of Technical University of Vienna as well the researchers of EU Graphene Flagship Project in creating a transistor based on the two-dimensional “molybdenum sulfide” MoS2. A new type of microprocessor is formed by 115 transistors. The microprocessors can currently perform one-bit logical operations. In the future, it will likely expand to multibit operation.
