Abstract
The convergence of sensing, computation, and actuation within unconventional material geometries is ushering in a new era of electronics. 2D materials, with their exceptional properties, offer a promising avenue for developing transformative devices. This talk explores the emergence of multi-functionality in 2D material-based smart memory devices, focusing on charge trapping memory and memristor technologies. We delve into their ability to sense various stimuli, store information, and perform complex tasks like image recognition and denoising. By integrating these capabilities into a single device, we can achieve significant advancements in power efficiency, speed, and fabrication cost. This paves the way for a more sustainable and efficient electronics future.
