The continuous scaling of semiconductor technology has pushed the footprint of logic devices below 50 nm. Currently, logic standard cells with one single fin are being investigated to increase the integration density, although such options could severely limit the performance of individual devices. In this letter, we present a novel Trench (T-) FinFET device, composed of a monolayer two-dimensional (2D) channel material. The device characteristics of a monolayer WS$_2$-based T-FinFET are studied by combining the first-principles calculations and quantum transport (QT) simulations. These results serve as inputs to a predictive analytical model. The latter allows to benchmark the T-FinFET with strained (s)-Si FinFETs in both quasi-ballistic and diffusive transport regimes. The circuit-level evaluation highlights that WS$_2$ T-FinFETs exhibit a competitive energy-delay performance compared to s-Si FinFET and WS$_2$ double-gate transistors, assuming the same mobility and contact resistivity at small footprints.
The dynamics of exciton formation in transition metal dichalcogenides is difficult to measure experimentally, since many momentum-indirect exciton states are not accessible to optical interband spectroscopy. Here, we combine a tuneable pump, high-har
Atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenide crystals (TMDCs) have extraordinary optical properties that make them attractive for future optoelectronic applications. Integration of TMDCs into practical all-dielectric heterostructures hinges on the
We use time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (tr-ARPES) to investigate ultrafast charge transfer in an epitaxial heterostructure made of monolayer WS$_2$ and graphene. This heterostructure combines the benefits of a direct gap semicondu
Single layers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are direct gap semiconductors with nondegenerate valley indices. An intriguing possibility for these materials is the use of their valley index as an alternate state variable. Several limitatio
Van der Waals heterostructures consisting of graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have recently shown great promise for high-performance optoelectronic applications. However, an in-depth understanding of the critical processes for de
