RESUMO
Two-dimensional materials have been extensively studied in field-effect transistors (FETs). However, the performance of p-type FETs has lagged behind that of n-type, which limits the development of complementary logical circuits. Here, we investigate the electronic properties and transport performance of anisotropic monolayer GaSCl for p-type FETs through first-principles calculations. The anisotropic electronic properties of monolayer GaSCl result in excellent device performance. The p-type GaSCl FETs with 10 nm channel length have an on-state current of 2351 µA/µm for high-performance (HP) devices along the y direction and an on-state current of 992 µA/µm with an on/off ratio exceeding 107 for low-power (LP) applications along the x direction. In addition, the delay-time (τ) and power dissipation product of GaSCl FETs can fully meet the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors standards for HP and LP applications. Our work illustrates that monolayer GaSCl is a competitive p-type channel for next-generation devices.
