NTNU Physics Team Measures 2 nm Carrier Transfer Length in 2D Transistors

A research team led by Professor Yann-Wen Lan of the Department of Physics at National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU), working with Professor Ya-Ping Chiu’s team at National Taiwan University (NTU) and Professor Lain-Jong Li of the National University of Singapore, who also serves as a Yushan Scholar and visiting chair professor in NTNU’s Department of Physics, has overcome a major bottleneck in contact engineering for two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor transistors. The collaboration achieved the first direct measurement of carrier transfer length in a 2D semiconductor transistor, providing critical experimental evidence for the design of future nanoscale devices. The findings were published in Nature in July 2026, highlighting NTNU’s strengths in 2D semiconductor devices, advanced measurement techniques, and international research collaboration.
