Towards covalent organic framework field effect transistor

Abstract

The urge to make things smaller and more efficient in the world of advanced electronics has driven tremendous innovation in nanotechnology. A key technological advancement seen in nanotechnology is the use of field-effect transistors, which allow good control over electronic signals at a nanoscale level, underpinning the digital revolution. Although silicon is still the semiconductor of choice for these devices, there has been a growing interest in alternative materials as we approach the limits of Moore’s law. In this project, our aim is to create a field-effect transistor device composed of a two-dimensional Covalent triazine framework-1 material. These frameworks, if appropriately chemically engineered, can exhibit interesting electronic structure characteristics such as Dirac cones and flat bands.
