Transistors, devices, systems, and methods are discussed related to transistors including a number of 2D material channel layers and source and drain control electrodes coupled to source and drain control regions of the 2D material channels. The source and drain control electrodes are on opposite sides of a gate electrode, which controls a channel region of the 2D material channels.

Transistor structures with monocrystalline metal chalcogenide channel materials are formed from a plurality of template regions patterned over a substrate. A crystal of metal chalcogenide may be preferentially grown from a template region and the metal chalcogenide crystals then patterned into the channel region of a transistor. The template regions may be formed by nanometer-dimensioned patterning of a metal precursor, a growth promoter, a growth inhibitor, or a defected region. A metal precursor may be a metal oxide suitable, which is chalcogenated when exposed to a chalcogen precursor at elevated temperature, for example in a chemical vapor deposition process.
