Complex, Scalable Arrays of Semiconductor Heterojunctions Hold Potential for Future Electronics

A team of researchers at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Department of Energy, has integrated a new synthesis process with standard electron-beam lithography methods to create complex and scalable arrays of semiconductor heterojunctions in random patterns within a nanometer-thick semiconductor crystal. This unique process depends on converting patterned areas of a single-layer crystal into another layer of crystal. The study has been published in Nature Communications.
