Abstract
According to embodiments of the present disclosure, two-dimensional (2D) materials may be used as nanosheet channels for multi-channel transistors. Nanosheet channels made two-dimensional (2D) materials can achieve the same drive current at smaller dimensions and/or fewer number of channels, therefore enable scaling down and/or boost derive current. Embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a solution of P-type and N-type balancing in a device without increasing footprint of the device.
