Researchers shrink transistor electrodes to a few nanometers

Electrode size for atomically thin transistors can be reduced to just a few nanometers, enabling further miniaturization of electronic devices. Researchers directly measured the minimum contact size needed for efficient current flow in 2D semiconductor transistors, finding it to be 2-3 nanometers. This is crucial for scaling down transistors and increasing chip density. This breakthrough addresses a key challenge in developing next-generation electronics, suggesting that 2D transistors can indeed be scaled down effectively.
