Abstract
Long-range moiré patterns in twisted WSe<sub>2</sub> enable a built-in, moiré-length-scale ferroelectric polarization that can be directly harnessed in electronic devices. Such a built-in ferroic landscape offers compelling means to enable ultralow-voltage and non-volatile electronic functionality in two-dimensional (2D) materials; however, achieving stable polarization control without charge trapping has remained a persistent challenge. Here, we demonstrate a moiré-engineered ferroelectric field-effect transistor (FeFET) utilizing twisted WSe<sub>2</sub> bilayers that leverage atomically clean van der Waals interfaces to achieve efficient polarization-channel coupling and trap-suppressed, ultralow-voltage operation (subthreshold swing of 64 mV dec<sup>-1</sup>). The device exhibits a stable non-volatile memory window of 0.10 V and high mobility, exceeding the performance of previously reported 2D FeFET and matching that of advanced silicon-based devices. In addition, capacitance-voltage spectroscopy, corroborated by self-consistent Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire modeling, indicates ultrafast ferroelectric switching (∼0.5 μs). These results establish moiré-engineered ferroelectricity as a practical and scalable route toward ultraclean, low-power, and non-volatile 2D electronics, bridging atomistic lattice engineering with functional device architectures for next-generation memory and logic technologies.
