Abstract

A stacked structure may include a first material layer, a two-dimensional material layer on the first material layer, and a second material layer on the two-dimensional material layer. The two-dimensional material layer may include a plurality of holes that each expose a portion of the first material layer. The second material layer may be coupled to the first material layer through the plurality of holes.
