Semiconducting MoTe2 is one of the few two-dimensional (2D) materials with a moderate band gap, similar to silicon. However, this material remains under-explored for 2D electronics due to ambient instability and predominantly p-type Fermi level pinning at contacts. Here, we demonstrate unipolar n-type MoTe2 transistors with the highest performance to date, including high saturation current (>400 ${mu}A/{mu}m$ at 80 K and >200 ${mu}A/{mu}m$ at 300 K) and relatively low contact resistance (1.2 to 2 $k{Omega}cdot{mu}m$ from 80 to 300 K), achieved with Ag contacts and AlOx encapsulation. We also investigate other contact metals, extracting their Schottky barrier heights using an analytic subthreshold model. High-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals that interfacial metal-Te compounds dominate the contact resistance. Among the metals studied, Sc has the lowest work function but is the most reactive, which we counter by inserting monolayer h-BN between MoTe2 and Sc. These metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) contacts partly de-pin the metal Fermi level and lead to the smallest Schottky barrier for electron injection. Overall, this work improves our understanding of n-type contacts to 2D materials, an important advance for low-power electronics.
The vertical stacking of van der Waals (vdW) materials introduces a new degree of freedom to the research of two-dimensional (2D) systems. The interlayer coupling strongly influences the band structure of the heterostructures, resulting in novel prop
The elegant simplicity of the device concept and the urgent need for a new transistor at the twilight of Moores law have inspired many researchers in industry and academia to explore the physics and technology of negative capacitance field effect tra
In this work, we demonstrate high performance indium-tin-oxide (ITO) transistors with the channel thickness down to 1 nm and ferroelectric Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 as gate dielectric. On-current of 0.243 A/mm is achieved on sub-micron gate-length ITO transistors
We study the interplay of electron and photon spin in non-reciprocal materials. Traditionally, the primary mechanism to design non-reciprocal photonic devices has been magnetic fields in conjunction with magnetic oxides, such as iron garnets. In this
