The development of low-resistance source/drain contacts to transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) is crucial for the realization of high-performance logic components. In particular, efficient hole contacts are required for the fabrication of p-type transistors with MoS2, a model TMDC. Previous studies have shown that the Fermi level of elemental metals is pinned close to the conduction band of MoS2, thus resulting in large Schottky barrier heights for holes with limited hole injection from the contacts. Here, we show that substoichiometric molybdenum trioxide (MoOx, x<3), a high workfunction material, acts as an efficient hole injection layer to MoS2 and WSe2. In particular, we demonstrate MoS2 p-type field-effect transistors and diodes by using MoOx contacts. We also show drastic on-current improvement for p-type WSe2 FETs with MoOx contacts over devices made with Pd contacts, which is the prototypical metal used for hole injection. The work presents an important advance in contact engineering of TMDCs and will enable future exploration of their performance limits and intrinsic transport properties.

We report the fabrication of both n-type and p-type WSe2 field effect transistors with hexagonal boron nitride passivated channels and ionic-liquid (IL)-gated graphene contacts. Our transport measurements reveal intrinsic channel properties including
a metal-insulator transition at a characteristic conductivity close to the quantum conductance e2/h, a high ON/OFF ratio of >107 at 170 K, and large electron and hole mobility of ~200 cm2V-1s-1 at 160 K. Decreasing the temperature to 77 K increases mobility of electrons to ~330 cm2V-1s-1 and that of holes to ~270 cm2V-1s-1. We attribute our ability to observe the intrinsic, phonon limited conduction in both the electron and hole channels to the drastic reduction of the Schottky barriers between the channel and the graphene contact electrodes using IL gating. We elucidate this process by studying a Schottky diode consisting of a single graphene/WSe2 Schottky junction. Our results indicate the possibility to utilize chemically or electrostatically highly doped graphene for versatile, flexible and transparent low-resistance Ohmic contacts to a wide range of quasi-2D semiconductors.

Unipolar devices constructed from ferromagnetic semiconducting materials with variable magnetization direction are shown theoretically to behave very similarly to nonmagnetic bipolar devices such as the p-n diode and the bipolar (junction) transistor
. Such devices may be applicable for magnetic sensing, nonvolatile memory, and reprogrammable logic.
In this paper, we report a novel chemical doping technique to reduce the contact resistance (Rc) of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) - eliminating two major roadblocks (namely, doping and high Rc) towards demonstration of high-performance TMDs
field-effect transistors (FETs). By using 1,2 dichloroethane (DCE) as the doping reagent, we demonstrate an active n-type doping density > 2*1019 cm-3 in a few-layer MoS2 film. This enabled us to reduce the Rc value to a record low number of 0.5 kohm*um, which is ~10x lower than the control sample without doping. The corresponding specific contact resistivity (pc) is found to decrease by two orders of magnitude. With such low Rc, we demonstrate 100 nm channel length (Lch) MoS2 FET with a drain current (Ids) of 460 uA/um at Vds = 1.6 V, which is twice the best value reported so far on MoS2 FETs.
We discuss the high-bias electrical characteristics of back-gated field-effect transistors with CVD-synthesized bilayer MoS2 channel and Ti Schottky contacts. We find that oxidized Ti contacts on MoS2 form rectifying junctions with ~0.3 to 0.5 eV Sch
ottky barrier height. To explain the rectifying output characteristics of the transistors, we propose a model based on two slightly asymmetric back-to-back Schottky barriers, where the highest current arises from image force barrier lowering at the electrically forced junction, while the reverse current is due to Schottky-barrier limited injection at the grounded junction. The device achieves a photo responsivity greater than 2.5 AW-1 under 5 mWcm-2 white-LED light. By comparing two- and four-probe measurements, we demonstrate that the hysteresis and persistent photoconductivity exhibited by the transistor are peculiarities of the MoS2 channel rather than effects of the Ti/MoS2 interface.
The measurements of the high - temperature current - voltage characteristics of MoS2 thin - film transistors show that the devices remain functional to temperatures of at least as high as 500 K. The temperature increase results in decreased threshold
voltage and mobility. The comparison of the DC and pulse measurements shows that the DC sub - linear and super - linear output characteristics of MoS2 thin - films devices result from the Joule heating and the interplay of the threshold voltage and mobility temperature dependences. At temperatures above 450 K, an intriguing phenomenon of the memory step - a kink in the drain current - occurs at zero gate voltage irrespective of the threshold voltage value. The memory step effect was attributed to the slow relaxation processes in thin films similar to those in graphene and electron glasses. The obtained results suggest new applications for MoS2 thin - film transistors in extreme - temperature electronics and sensors.
