This book provides an integrated examination of van der Waals (vdW) layered semiconductors by focusing on the key scientific advances and technological hurdles that shape their path toward real-world applications. Organized around nine major themes-including material growth and heterostructure design, contact engineering, gate dielectrics, device architectures, diluted magnetic, plasmonics and excitonic phenomena, and energy and computing applications-it highlights how progress in each area converges to enable high-performance electronic, optoelectronic, and energy systems. Particular attention is given to persistent challenges such as scalable synthesis, low-resistance contacts, dielectric integration, and reproducible device fabrication, while outlining emerging solutions and design strategies. By linking fundamental insights with device-level implementation, the book presents a cohesive roadmap for transforming vdW semiconductors from promising laboratory materials into reliable platforms for next-generation technologies.
