The ambitious expansion in computational science and engineering brought forth several new advanced technologies including the internet of things (IoT). These technologies require superb capabilities. Though Si is still the bread and butter of the semiconductor industry, it is extremely challenging for Si to meet all the new technological demands. New emerging materials like 2D materials and Wide-bandgap semiconductors offer opportunities that Si cannot. Throughout my professional career I delved into different materials to overcome this challenge. I will bring forth new research that focuses on heterogeneously integrating 2D materials and wide-bandgap semiconductors on a Si-CMOS chip and investigating their interfacial properties.
