Abstract
Semiconductor devices and methods of forming the same are provided. A method includes providing a workpiece having a semiconductor structure; depositing a two-dimensional (2D) material layer over the semiconductor structure; forming a source feature and a drain feature electrically connected to the semiconductor structure and the 2D material layer, wherein the source feature and drain feature include a semiconductor material; and forming a gate structure over the two-dimensional material layer and interposed between the source feature and the drain feature. The gate structure, the source feature, the drain feature, the semiconductor structure and the 2D material layer are configured to form a field-effect transistor. The semiconductor structure and the 2D material layer function, respectively, as a first channel and a second channel between the source feature and the drain feature.
