MIT engineers “grow” atomically thin transistors on top of computer chips

A new low-temperature growth and fabrication technology allows the integration of 2D materials directly onto a silicon circuit, which could lead to denser and more powerful chips.

2023 marked the 19th year for the student-led Microsystems Annual Research Conference. Pictured is the 2023 graduate student committee with faculty leads. Front row, left to right: co-chairs Maitreyi Ashok and Jennifer Wang, Duhan Zhang, Matthew Yeung, and Aya Amer.
