The shrinking of transistors has hit a wall of material degradation and the specialized electronic applications for complex scenarios have raised challenges in heterostructures integration. Intriguingly, two-dimensional (2D) materials have excellent performance even at monolayer. The rich band structures and the lattice-mismatch-free heterostructures can further develop specific mechanisms to meet the demands of various electronic systems. Here we review the progress of 2D semiconductors to develop specific electronic applications from devices to systems. Focusing on the ultra-thin high-performance nanosheets for transistor channels, we consider channel optimization, contact characteristics, dielectric integration. Then we examined 2D semiconductors for specific electronic functions including computing, memory and sense. Finally, we discuss the specific applications of functionalized arrays aiming at problems that are difficult to solve with bulk materials, like the fusion of memory and computation and the all-in-one system.
