Investigation of vertically stacked hybrid devices

THESIS 10587Conductive carbon thin films are known to be promising candidates for future electrode materials for micro/nano-electronic device applications due to their favourable electrical properties and diversity of formation. In particular, recent enormous interest in graphene, a two-dimensional carbon material, has triggered many broad and comprehensive studies not only on graphene itself, but also on other two-dimensional layered materials such as transition metal dichalcogenides. The introduction of such materials to real electronic device applications can be effectively achieved by making hybrid devices where these materials are combined with conventional semiconductors in device fabrication. Therefore, it is very important to understand and define the electrical characteristics of such hybrid devices thoroughly in the initial stages of research
