Abstract
Two-dimensional reconfigurable field-effect transistors (FETs) are promising candidates for next-generation computing hardware. However, exploring the cascade design of FETs for logic computing remains challenging. Here, by using density functional theory combined with the nonequilibrium Green's function method, we design a 5 nm split-gate FET based on a monolayer WSe<sub>2</sub> homojunction, which can implement dynamic polarity control in different gate configurations. The series array of two FETs shows a functional family of logic gates (NOR, AND, XOR, <i>A̅B</i>, and <i>AB̅</i>), and the semi-adder designed by the logic functions AND and XOR reduces the number of transistors by 66.7%. The parallel array of two FETs demonstrates reconfigurable logic gates with NAND/OR/<i>A̅+B</i>/<i>A+B̅</i> quadruple functions, which can realize the decoding function of 00-11 in the decoder. The cascade design of the electrically tunable FETs helps to tackle the logic device downscaling and integration dilemmas.
