The two-dimensional(2D) materials are highly promising candidates to realise elegant and e cient transistor. In the present letter, we conjecture a novel co-planar metal-insulator-semiconductor(MIS) device(capacitor) completely based on lateral 2D materials architecture and perform numerical study of the capacitor with a particular emphasis on its di erences with the conventional 3D MIS electrostatics. The space-charge density features a long charge-tail extending into the bulk of the semiconductor as opposed to the rapid decay in 3D capacitor. Equivalently, total space-charge and semiconductor capacitance densities are atleast an order of magnitude more in 2D semiconductor. In contrast to the bulk capacitor, expansion of maximum depletion width in 2D semiconductor is observed with increasing doping concentration due to lower electrostatic screening. The heuristic approach of performance analysis(2D vs 3D) for digital-logic transistor suggest higher ON-OFF current ratio in the long-channel limit even without third dimension and considerable room to maximise the performance of short-channel transistor. The present results could potentially trigger the exploration of new family of co-planar at transistors that could play a signi significant role in the future low-power and/or high performance electronics.<br>

AbstractElectronic properties (conductivity and density of states) of quasicrystals present strong similarities with disordered semiconductor based systems on both sides of the Mott-Anderson metal-insulator (MI) transition. We revisit the conductivity of the i-AlCuFe and i-AlPdMn phases, which has temperature and magnetic field dependence characteristic of the metallic side of the transition. The i-AlPdRe ribbon samples can be on either side of the transition depending on their conductivity value. In all these i-phases, the density of states at the Fermi level EF is low. Its energy dependence close to EF is similar to disordered systems close to the MI transition where it is ascribed to effects of interactions between electrons and disorder.
