2D Nanomaterial Arrays for Electronics and Optoelectronics

Abstract Two‐dimensional (2D) materials, benefitting from their unique planar structure and various appealing electronic properties, have attracted much attention for novel electronic and optoelectronic applications. As a basis for practical devices, the study of micro/nano‐2D material arrays based on coupling effects and synergistic effects is critical to the functionalization and integration of 2D materials. Moreover, micro/nano‐2D material arrays are compatible with traditional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) electronics, catering well to high‐integration, high‐sensitivity, and low‐cost sensing and imaging systems. This review presents some recent studies on 2D material arrays in sequence from their novel preparations to high‐integration applications as well as explorations on dimension tuning. A first focus is on various typical fabrication methods for 2D material arrays, including photolithography, 2D printing, seeded growth, van der Waals epitaxial growth, and self‐assembly. Then, the applications of 2D material arrays, such as field effect transistors, photodetectors, pressure sensors, as well as flexible electronic devices of photodetectors and strain sensors, are elaborately introduced. Furthermore, the recent burgeoning exploration of mixed‐dimensional heterostructure arrays including 0D/2D, 1D/2D, and 3D/2D is discussed. Ultimately, conclusions and an outlook based on the current developments in this promising field are presented.
