Symposium QT01: Development of 2D Quantum Materials Pipelines (2D-QMaPs)

Yee Sin Ang, Singapore University of Technology and Design

Computation Design of Sustainable 2D Layered Semiconductors, Interfaces and Devices

Written by Kwon-Teen Chen

Yee Sin Ang from the Singapore University of Technology and Design presented his research on two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, which uses computer simulations as a powerful predictive tool to unlock the potential of 2D materials for next-generation computing technology. He first highlighted his research on the computational design of MoSi₂N₄ and WSi₂N₄ monolayers and their contact interfaces for future transistor technologies. These materials exhibit unique physical properties that make them promising candidates to succeed conventional silicon. He also developed a material screening workflow that evaluates not only performance and functionality but also sustainability. For him, prioritizing low-risk, earth-abundant elements is essential to ensure that future technologies are built with long-term environmental responsibility in mind.
