Abstract

Thin film transistors having semiconductor structures integrated with two-dimensional (2D) channel materials are described. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a two-dimensional (2D) material layer above a substrate. A gate stack is above the 2D material layer, the gate stack having a first side opposite a second side. A semiconductor structure including germanium is included, the semiconductor structure laterally adjacent to and in contact with the 2D material layer adjacent the first side of the gate stack. A first conductive structure is adjacent the first side of the second gate stack, the first conductive structure over and in direct electrical contact with the semiconductor structure. The semiconductor structure is intervening between the first conductive structure and the 2D material layer. A second conductive structure is adjacent the second side of the second gate stack, the second conductive structure over and in direct electrical contact with the 2D material layer.
