Abstract

The scaling of transistors is approaching its physical limits, making the future direction of transistor development a topic of global significance. Low-dimensional materials (LDMs), which exhibit superior properties compared to bulk materials, are emerging as a driving force for transformative advancements across various industries. What do LDMs signify for the future of transistors? Where do the challenges and opportunities lie? This perspective concludes with an overview of the transistor development roadmap, highlighting key technological milestones for LDMs, and proposes three pathways for integrating LDMs into future transistors across near-, mid-, and long-term horizons.
