Understanding Charge Behaviour in a 2D Transition Metal Dichalcogenide MOS System KU Leuven
Advancements in technology are driven by downscaling the channel length and
the thickness of semiconductor that improve performance of a MOSFET. 2D
semiconductors, like transition metal dichalcogenides (MX2), are van der Waals
(vdW) layered structures with one layer approx. 0.7 nm thick and self-terminated
surfaces with no dangling bonds. They offer the promise of ultrathin channels
with high mobility for future ...
Algorithms to solve 2D and 3D Irregular Cutting and Packing Problems using a Semi-discrete Representation KU Leuven
Cutting and packing problems, whether in 2D or 3D, involve positioning a set of pieces without overlap within one or more containers. These problems occur in a wide range of industrial applications such as sheet metal and textile cutting, logistics, and additive manufacturing. This thesis provides efficient optimization methods for both 2D and 3D irregular cutting and packing problems using a semi-discrete representation of both the pieces ...
2D Materials: Theoretical study of Magnetic and Contact properties KU Leuven
In the continuous effort to scale down the building blocks of integrated circuits, two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted a lot of attention recently. Not only are they inherently very thin, with thicknesses up to only a few atomic layers, 2D materials possess a wide range of properties which could be very useful in future logic and memory devices. In this project, we study the magnetic and electronic properties of 2D materials using ...
Ab-initio simulations of next-generation devices made of 2D or topological-insulator materials KU Leuven
The purpose of this doctoral research is to explore the properties of new 2-D and topological insulator (TI) materials. These materials are interesting candidates for CMOS scaling, either for sub 10 nm gate length MOSFET transistors or novel devices such as Tunnel-FETS. The materials and devices will be simulated using an existing dissipative localized-orbital-basis Ab-Initio Atomistic NEGF algorithm. Part of the research comprises the ...
