Penn State Develops 2D Material-Based CMOS Computer
2025-06-15
Researchers at Penn State University have developed a CMOS computer based on two-dimensional (2D) materials. Using metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), they grew large sheets of molybdenum disulfide and tungsten diselenide, fabricating over 1,000 transistors of each type. The resulting computer, while operating at a relatively low frequency (25 kilohertz), can perform simple logic operations with low power consumption. This research represents a significant milestone in harnessing 2D materials for electronics, offering a promising pathway for future computing technologies, although further optimization is needed.
