Semiconductor is a kind of material that guides the electrical properties between metals and insulators. Its properties can be controlled by means of illumination, external electric field, etc. It is the core of all electronic equipment, the cornerstone of modern information technology, and has a profound impact on human life.

However, with the continuous miniaturization of transistors, traditional silicon based electronic devices have approached the physical limits of their process size and performance, which restricts the further development of integrated circuits.

In recent years, two-dimensional semiconductor materials, with their ultra-thin thickness and excellent electronic properties, have become the frontier hotspot of widespread concern in the academic community. They are considered as important candidates for high-density integrated circuits in the "post molar era", and are expected to promote the development of chips to smaller scales, higher performance and more multi-function.

Semiconductors with magnetism are called magnetic semiconductors. It can simultaneously control the charge and spin of electrons in semiconductors, integrate the information processing and optical communication functions of ordinary semiconductor devices and the information storage functions of magnetic materials on a single chip. Therefore, it is expected to replace the traditional microelectronic technology. The research on magnetic semiconductor will also become an important direction of the development of the next generation information technology.
