Researchers grow wafer-scale p-type boron carbon nitride with high carrier mobility

A multi-institution research team reports achieving wafer-scale epitaxial growth of p-type boron carbon nitride (BCN) that exhibits high carrier mobility. The work involved collaborators from Japanese and Taiwanese institutions, including support from JSPS, JST, Academia Sinica and Taiwan's NSTC, with computational resources provided by Taiwan's National Center for High-performance Computing.

Boron carbon nitride emerges as p-type 2D semiconductor, study reports

Researchers led by Tseng and colleagues, publishing in Nature, describe a boron carbon nitride (BCN) material that efficiently transports positive charge carriers, or holes. This addresses a long-standing gap in atomically thin semiconductor research, where efficient electron-transporting 2D materials existed but comparable hole-transporting counterparts were lacking.
