Iuliana Radu is program director at imec, where she is leading the beyond CMOS and quantum computing activities. Prior to joining the logic program at imec in 2013, she was a Marie Curie and FWO fellow at KU Leuven and imec. Her work at imec and KU Leuven includes devices using the metal-to-insulator transition, ionic and electronic transport in functional oxides and devices with graphene and other 2D materials. Iuliana has received a PhD in physics from MIT in 2009 where she worked on the fractional quantum Hall effect and searched for non-abelian quasiparticles.

Five good reasons, three major challenges for introducing 2D materials into logic
2D materials such as tungsten disulfide (WS2) can play a crucial role in the fabrication of future logic chips. Due to their exceptional properties, they promise to enable ultimate gate length scaling, and can therefore extend the logic transistor scaling roadmap. They could also revolutionize how we think about chip architecture, blurring the line between front-end and back-end by enabling compact back-end-compatible transistors. In recent years, lab-based 2D-transistors have matured considerably, and a route is being developed for their industrial uptake. In parallel, remaining challenges towards improved device performance are being addressed. Below, Iuliana Radu, program director at imec, explains the worldwide interest in these materials, especially their promise to further extend the logic technology roadmap.
