However, the electronic performance of devices based on such materials is typically below that of devices based on materials grown via high-temperature chemical vapour deposition. Here we report the fabrication of indium selenide (InSe) semiconductor thin films using a colloidal solution of monolayer nanosheets (monolayer purity more than 98%). The InSe thin films are assembled on 4-inch wafers with conformal and intimate van der Waals contacts between the monolayer building blocks. We use the solution-processed films to fabricate InSe transistors that exhibit electron mobilities of 90–120 cm2 V−1 s−1, current on/off ratios of up to 107 and a small current hysteresis. We also show that InSe transistors with oxide encapsulation can remain stable in air for 3 months. Indium selenide semiconductor thin films can be fabricated from a colloidal solution of monolayer nanosheets, and used to create transistors that exhibit electron mobilities of 90–120 cm2 V−1 s−1, current on/off ratios of up to 107 and a small current hysteresis.","PeriodicalId":19064,"journal":{"name":"Nature Electronics","volume":"8 3","pages":"244-253"},"PeriodicalIF":33.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143077121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The approach can, in particular, leverage the concept of inverse design, which involves defining a desired functionality and then using a feedback-loop algorithm to optimize device design. Here we report a simulation-free inverse-design device that can implement various radiofrequency components and can process data in the gigahertz range. The device consists of a square array of independent direct current loops on top of a yttrium iron garnet film that generate a complex reconfigurable magnetic medium. We use two feedback-loop algorithms—direct search optimization and a genetic algorithm—to configure the field patterns and create a linear radiofrequency notch filter and a demultiplexer. A device that consists of a square array of independent direct current loops on top of a film of yttrium iron garnet can generate a complex reconfigurable magnetic medium and be used to solve inverse-design problems experimentally without the use of numerical simulations.","PeriodicalId":19064,"journal":{"name":"Nature Electronics","volume":"8 2","pages":"106-115"},"PeriodicalIF":33.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143056659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
