Mechanical Characterization of Emerging 2D Materials for Electronics: Review

Abstract

The rapid growth in the field of electronics has created the need for studying new materials that offer improved qualities. Among these options, materials which exist in two dimensions (referred to as 2D materials) emerged as the most popular choices because of their unique mechanical and electrical properties. The present study provides a thorough review of the mechanical properties of new two-dimensional (2D) materials, with a particular focus on their potential utility throughout the electronics sector. In this research, It provide a comprehensive examination of the mechanical properties of multiple two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as graphene, which transition-metals dichalcogenides (TMDs), and hexagonal nitride of boron (h-BN), under different conditions that mimic the operational environment of electronic systems. The elastic moduli, strength, and flexibility of the components are evaluated by the utilization of sophisticated characterization methods such as atomic force microscopy (AFM), and nanoindentation. Also, this study examines the impact of environmental factors, specifically temperature and humidity, on the characteristics mentioned earlier. Results illustrate that the 2D materials exhibit remarkable mechanical properties, distinguished by both strength and flexibility, leaving them well-suited for applications in flexible electronic devices and high-performance nanodevices.
