Abstract

Semiconductor nanomembranes: the next small thing? Nanomembranes are a new and exciting class of materials for electronics applications. They are monocrystalline two-dimensional structures less than a few hundred nanometres thick. Unlike thin films, nanomembranes are self-standing and can be isolated from the substrate. Their geometry makes these materials particularly suitable for integration with electronic devices using existing technology. In this Review, the synthetic challenges, the multi-layer assembly procedures and applications of semiconductor nanomembranes in electronics and optoelectronics are reviewed. It covers both those inorganic semiconductive materials that can be reduced to a nanomembrane, and the two-dimensional organic carbon structures that are an alternative to graphene.
