We report on p-WSe2/n-MoS2 heterojunction diodes fabricated both on glass and SiO2/p+-Si substrates. The electrostatic performance and stability of our diode were successfully improved toward ideal current-voltage (I-V) behavior by adopting the fluoropolymer CYTOP encapsulation layer on top of our diode; reduction of reverse-bias leakage current and enhancement of forward-bias on current were achieved along with good aging stability in air ambient. Such performance improvement is attributed to the intrinsic properties of CYTOP materials with C-F bonds whose strong dipole moment causes hole accumulation, while the strong hydrophobicity of CYTOP would prevent ambient molecule adsorption on 2D semiconductor surface. Moreover, fabricated on glass, our p-n diode displayed good dynamic rectification at over 100 Hz, without displacement current-induced signal overshoot/undershoot which was shown in the other diode on SiO2/p+-Si. Little I-V hysteresis in our diode is another benefit of glass substrate. We conclude that our CYTOP-encapsulated WSe2/MoS2 p-n diode on glass is a high performance and ambient stable 2D nanodevice toward future advanced electronics.

We report high performance p-type field-effect transistors based on single layered (thickness, ~0.7 nm) WSe2 as the active channel with chemically doped source/drain contacts and high-{kappa} gate dielectrics. The top-gated monolayer transistors exhibit a high effective hole mobility of ~250 cm2/Vs, perfect subthreshold swing of ~60 mV/dec, and ION/IOFF of >10^6 at room temperature. Special attention is given to lowering the contact resistance for hole injection by using high work function Pd contacts along with degenerate surface doping of the contacts by patterned NO2 chemisorption on WSe2. The results here present a promising material system and device architecture for p-type monolayer transistors with excellent characteristics.
Light-emitting diodes are of importance for lighting, displays, optical interconnects, logic and sensors. Hence the development of new systems that allow improvements in their efficiency, spectral properties, compactness and integrability could have significant ramifications. Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides have recently emerged as interesting candidates for optoelectronic applications due to their unique optical properties. Electroluminescence has already been observed from monolayer MoS2 devices. However, the electroluminescence efficiency was low and the linewidth broad due both to the poor optical quality of MoS2 and to ineffective contacts. Here, we report electroluminescence from lateral p-n junctions in monolayer WSe2 induced electrostatically using a thin boron nitride support as a dielectric layer with multiple metal gates beneath. This structure allows effective injection of electrons and holes, and combined with the high optical quality of WSe2 it yields bright electroluminescence with 1000 times smaller injection current and 10 times smaller linewidth than in MoS2. Furthermore, by increasing the injection bias we can tune the electroluminescence between regimes of impurity-bound, charged, and neutral excitons. This system has the required ingredients for new kinds of optoelectronic devices such as spin- and valley-polarized light-emitting diodes, on-chip lasers, and two-dimensional electro-optic modulators.
Hexagonal boron nitride is widely used as a substrate for two-dimensional materials in both electronic and photonic devices. Here, we demonstrate that two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride is also an ideal substrate for one-dimensional single-walled carbon nanotubes. Nanotubes directly attached to hexagonal boron nitride show bright photoluminescence with narrow linewidth at room temperature, comparable to air-suspended nanotubes. Using photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy, we unambiguously assign the chiralities of nanotubes on boron nitride by tracking individual tubes before and after contact with boron nitride. Although hexagonal boron nitride has a low dielectric constant and is attached to only one side of the nanotubes, we observe that optical transition energies are redshifted as much as ~50 meV from the air-suspended nanotubes. We also perform statistical measurements on more than 400 tubes, and the redshifts are found to be dependent on tube diameter. This work opens up new possibilities for all-solid-state carbon nanotube photonic devices by utilizing hexagonal boron nitride substrates.
We report a new strategy for fabricating 2D/2D low-resistance ohmic contacts for a variety of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) using van der Waals assembly of substitutionally doped TMDs as drain/source contacts and TMDs with no intentional doping as channel materials. We demonstrate that few-layer WSe2 field-effect transistors (FETs) with 2D/2D contacts exhibit low contact resistances of ~ 0.3 k ohm.um, high on/off ratios up to > 109, and high drive currents exceeding 320 uA um-1. These favorable characteristics are combined with a two-terminal field-effect hole mobility ~ 2x102 cm2 V-1 s-1 at room temperature, which increases to >2x103 cm2 V-1 s-1 at cryogenic temperatures. We observe a similar performance also in MoS2 and MoSe2 FETs with 2D/2D drain and source contacts. The 2D/2D low-resistance ohmic contacts presented here represent a new device paradigm that overcomes a significant bottleneck in the performance of TMDs and a wide variety of other 2D materials as the channel materials in post-silicon electronics.
Valley degree of freedom in the 2D semiconductor is a promising platform for the next generation optoelectronics. Electrons in different valleys can have opposite Berry curvature, leading to the valley Hall effect (VHE). However, VHE without the plasmonic structures assistance has only been reported in cryogenic temperature, limiting its practical application. Here, we report the observation of VHE at room temperature in the MoS2/WSe2 heterostructures. We also uncover that both the magnitude and the polarity of the VHE in the 2D heterostructure is gate tunable. We attribute this to the opposite VHE contribution from the electron and hole in different layers. These results indicate the bipolar transport nature of our valleytronic transistor. Utilizing this gate tunability, we demonstrate a bipolar valleytronic transistor. Our results can be used to improve the ON/OFF ratio of the valleytronic transistor and to realize more versatile valleytronics logic circuits.
