Over the recent years there has been an increasing demand of better performing electronics. However, as the semiconductor industry keeps on improving and scaling the technology to the nanometer regime, the passive power density has overcome the overall power consumption of transistors. The inability to reduce the power alongside the scaling of transistors has led the scientific community in the search for alternatives or different solutions to overcome this power crisis. The use of two-dimensional Transition-Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDCS) and Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) actuators, in conjunction, has been proposed as an alternative solution [1]. Recent studies of TMDCS have shown a …
