Conversion of Multi-layered MoTe₂ Transistor Between P-Type and N-Type and Their Use in Inverter.

ABSTRACT: Both p-type and n-type MoTe₂ transistors are needed to fabricate complementary electronic and optoelectronic devices. In this study, we fabricate air-stable p-type multi-layered MoTe₂ transistors using Au as electrode and achieve the conversion of p-type transistor to n-type by annealing it in vacuum. Temperature-dependent in situ measurements assisted by the results given by first-principle simulations indicate that n-type conductance is an intrinsic property, which is attributed to tellurium vacancies in MoTe₂, while the device in air experiences a charge transfer which is caused by oxygen/water redox couple and is converted to air-stable p-type transistor. Based on p-type and n-type multi-layered MoTe₂ transistors, we demonstrate a complementary inverter with gain values as high as 9 at V_DD = 5 V.

Conversion of Charge Carrier Polarity in MoTe2 Field Effect Transistor via Laser Doping.

Project description:A two-dimensional (2D) atomic crystalline transition metal dichalcogenides has shown immense features, aiming for future nanoelectronic devices comparable to conventional silicon (Si). 2D molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe2) has a small bandgap, appears close to that of Si, and is more favorable than other typical 2D semiconductors. In this study, we demonstrate laser-induced p-type doping in a selective region of n-type semiconducting MoTe2 field effect transistors (FET) with an advance in using the hexagonal boron nitride as passivation layer from protecting the structure phase change from laser doping. A single nanoflake MoTe2-based FET, exhibiting initial n-type and converting to p-type in clear four-step doping, changing charge transport behavior in a selective surface region by laser doping. The device shows high electron mobility of about 23.4 cm2V-1s-1 in an intrinsic n-type channel and hole mobility of about 0.61 cm2V-1s-1 with a high on/off ratio. The device was measured in the range of temperature 77-300 K to observe the consistency of the MoTe2-based FET in intrinsic and laser-dopped region. In addition, we measured the device as a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) inverter by switching the charge-carrier polarity of the MoTe2 FET. This fabrication process of selective laser doping can potentially be used for larger-scale MoTe2 CMOS circuit applications.

Field Effect Transistor Based on Layered NiPS 3.

Project description:Layered metal phosphochalcogenides of molecular formula, MPX3 (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, etc and X = S, Se) have been emerging as new class of semiconductors towards various catalytic and optoelectronic applications. The low cleavage energy associated with these layered chalcogenides may lead to devices with very thin semiconductor channels. Herein, we report the first successful fabrication of field effect transistor (FET) using layered NiPS3 that reveals n-type semiconducting behavior. Devices using bulk and few-layer NiPS3 with gold contacts show on/off ratios of ~103-105 at 25 °C. The device characteristics reveal an increase in on-state current with decrease in threshold voltage and the Schottky barrier height is extracted to be 112 meV. Density functional theory calculations reveal various parameters that affect electron/hole doping in the layered phosphochalcogenide material.

Polymorphism Control of Layered MoTe2 through Two-Dimensional Solid-Phase Crystallization.

Project description:Two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe2) exhibits an intriguing polymorphic nature, showing stable semiconducting 2H and metallic 1T' phases at room temperature. Polymorphism in MoTe2 presents new opportunities in developing phase-change memory, high- performance transistors, and spintronic devices. However, it also poses challenges in synthesizing homogeneous MoTe2 with a precisely controlled phase. Recently, a new yet simple method using sputtering and 2D solid-phase crystallization (SPC) is proposed for synthesizing high-quality and large-area MoTe2. This study investigates the polymorphism control of MoTe2 synthesis using 2D SPC. The Te/Mo ratio and oxygen content in the as-sputtered films correlate strongly with the final phase and electrical properties of SPC MoTe2. Furthermore, the SPC thermal budget may be exploited for stabilizing a deterministic phase. The comprehensive experiments presented in this work demonstrate the versatile and precise controllability on the MoTe2 phase by using the simple 2D SPC technique.

Signature of type-II Weyl semimetal phase in MoTe2.

Project description:Topological Weyl semimetal (TWS), a new state of quantum matter, has sparked enormous research interest recently. Possessing unique Weyl fermions in the bulk and Fermi arcs on the surface, TWSs offer a rare platform for realizing many exotic physical phenomena. TWSs can be classified into type-I that respect Lorentz symmetry and type-II that do not. Here, we directly visualize the electronic structure of MoTe2, a recently proposed type-II TWS. Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), we unravel the unique surface Fermi arcs, in good agreement with our ab initio calculations that have nontrivial topological nature. Our work not only leads to new understandings of the unusual properties discovered in this family of compounds, but also allows for the further exploration of exotic properties and practical applications of type-II TWSs, as well as the interplay between superconductivity (MoTe2 was discovered to be superconducting recently) and their topological order.

Highly Sensitive, Ultrafast, and Broadband Photo-Detecting Field-Effect Transistor with Transition-Metal Dichalcogenide van der Waals Heterostructures of MoTe2 and PdSe2.

Project description:Recently, van der Waals heterostructures (vdWHs) based on transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have attracted significant attention owing to their superior capabilities and multiple functionalities. Herein, a novel vdWH field-effect transistor (FET) composed of molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe2 ) and palladium diselenide (PdSe2 ) is studied for highly sensitive photodetection performance in the broad visible and near-infrared (VNIR) region. A high rectification ratio of 6.3 × 105 is obtained, stemming from the sharp interface and low Schottky barriers of the MoTe2 /PdSe2 vdWHs. It is also successfully demonstrated that the vdWH FET exhibits highly sensitive photo-detecting abilities, such as noticeably high photoresponsivity (1.24 × 105 A W-1 ), specific detectivity (2.42 × 1014 Jones), and good external quantum efficiency (3.5 × 106 ), not only due to the intra-TMD band-to-band transition but also due to the inter-TMD charge transfer (CT) transition. Further, rapid rise (16.1 µs) and decay (31.1 µs) times are obtained under incident light with a wavelength of 2000 nm due to the CT transition, representing an outcome one order of magnitude faster than values currently in the literature. Such TMD-based vdWH FETs would improve the photo-gating characteristics and provide a platform for the realization of a highly sensitive photodetector in the broad VNIR region.

Highly Active 2D Layered MoS 2 -rGO Hybrids for Energy Conversion and Storage Applications.

Project description:The development of efficient materials for the generation and storage of renewable energy is now an urgent task for future energy demand. In this report, molybdenum disulphide hollow sphere (MoS2-HS) and its reduced graphene oxide hybrid (rGO/MoS2-S) have been synthesized and explored for energy generation and storage applications. The surface morphology, crystallinity and elemental composition of the as-synthesized materials have been thoroughly analysed. Inspired by the fascinating morphology of the MoS2-HS and rGO/MoS2-S materials, the electrochemical performance towards hydrogen evolution and supercapacitor has been demonstrated. The rGO/MoS2-S shows enhanced gravimetric capacitance values (318 ± 14 Fg-1) with higher specific energy/power outputs (44.1 ± 2.1 Whkg-1 and 159.16 ± 7.0 Wkg-1) and better cyclic performances (82 ± 0.95% even after 5000 cycles). Further, a prototype of the supercapacitor in a coin cell configuration has been fabricated and demonstrated towards powering a LED. The unique balance of exposed edge site and electrical conductivity of rGO/MoS2-S shows remarkably superior HER performances with lower onset over potential (0.16 ± 0.05 V), lower Tafel slope (75 ± 4 mVdec-1), higher exchange current density (0.072 ± 0.023 mAcm-2) and higher TOF (1.47 ± 0.085 s-1) values. The dual performance of the rGO/MoS2-S substantiates the promising application for hydrogen generation and supercapacitor application of interest.

Origin of extremely large magnetoresistance in the candidate type-II Weyl semimetal MoTe2-x.

Project description:The recent observation of extremely large magnetoresistance (MR) in the transition-metal dichalcogenide MoTe2 has attracted considerable interest due to its potential technological applications as well as its relationship with novel electronic states predicted for a candidate type-II Weyl semimetal. In order to understand the origin of the MR, the electronic structure of MoTe2-x (x = 0.08) is systematically tuned by application of pressure and probed via its Hall and longitudinal conductivities. With increasing pressure, a monoclinic-to-orthorhombic (1 T' to Td) structural phase transition temperature (T*) gradually decreases from 210 K at 1 bar to 58 K at 1.1 GPa, and there is no anomaly associated with the phase transition at 1.4 GPa, indicating that a T = 0 K quantum phase transition occurs at a critical pressure (Pc) between 1.1 and 1.4 GPa. The large MR observed at 1 bar is suppressed with increasing pressure and is almost saturated at 100% for P > Pc. The dependence on magnetic field of the Hall and longitudinal conductivities of MoTe2-x shows that a pair of electron and hole bands are important in the low-pressure Td phase, while another pair of electron and hole bands are additionally required in the high-pressure 1 T' phase. The MR peaks at a characteristic hole-to-electron concentration ratio (nc) and is sharply suppressed when the ratio deviates from nc within the Td phase. These results establish the comprehensive temperature-pressure phase diagram of MoTe2-x and underscore that its MR originates from balanced electron-hole carrier concentrations.

Optics-Enabled Highly Scalable Inverter for Multi-Valued Logic.

Project description:The rapid advancements in machine learning have exacerbated the interconnect bottleneck inherent in binary logic-based computing architectures. An interesting approach to tackle this problem involves increasing the information density per interconnect, i.e., by switching from a two-valued to a multi-valued logic (MVL) architecture. However, current MVL implementations offer limited overall performance and face challenges in scaling to process data signals with radix (number of logic levels) even just above 3. In this work, a novel concept is introduced for implementation of a highly scalable and fully passive inverter based on the frequency-domain phase-only linear manipulation of the input MVL data signal, which is encoded in the amplitude variations of an electromagnetic wave along the time axis. As a key advantage, this solution is entirely independent of the input radix. The proposed design is implemented using an optical fibre Bragg grating device. Inversion of quaternary signals is experimentally demonstrated, as well as binary and ternary signals, at a remarkable operation speed of 32 GBaud, with an estimated energy consumption of ≈ 24 fJ/bit. The proposed method is universal and can be applied to any system that supports transmission and detection of coherent waves, such as microwave, plasmonic, mechanical, or quantum.

Simple and rapid gas sensing using a single-walled carbon nanotube field-effect transistor-based logic inverter.

Project description:Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are promising candidates for gas sensing applications, providing an efficient solution to the device miniaturization challenge and allowing low power consumption. SWCNT gas sensors are mainly based on field-effect transistors (SWCNT-FETs) where the modification of the current flowing through the nanotube is used for gas detection. A major limitation of these SWCNT-FETs lies in the difficulty to measure their transfer curves, since the flowing current typically varies between 10-12 and 10-3 A. Thus, voluminous and energy consuming systems are necessary, severely limiting the miniaturization and low energy consumption. Here, we propose an inverter device that combines two SWCNT-FETs which brings a concrete solution to these limitations and simplifies data processing. In this innovative sensing configuration, the gas detection is based on the variation of an electric potential in the volt range instead of a current intensity variation in the microampere range. In this study, the proof of concept is performed using NO2 gas but can be easily extended to a wide range of gases.

Defect Engineering of MoTe2 via Thiol Treatment for Type III van der Waals Heterojunction Phototransistor.

Project description:Molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe2) nanosheets have displayed intriguing physicochemical properties and opto-electric characteristics as a result of their tunable and small band gap (Eg ∼ 1 eV), facilitating concurrent electron and hole transport. Despite the numerous efforts devoted to the development of p-type MoTe2 field-effect transistors (FETs), the presence of tellurium (Te) point vacancies has caused serious reliability issues. Here, we overcome this major limitation by treating the MoTe2 surface with thiolated molecules to heal Te vacancies. Comprehensive materials and electrical characterizations provided unambiguous evidence for the efficient chemisorption of butanethiol. Our thiol-treated MoTe2 FET exhibited a 10-fold increase in hole current and a positive threshold voltage shift of 25 V, indicative of efficient hole carrier doping. We demonstrated that our powerful molecular engineering strategy can be extended to the controlled formation of van der Waals heterostructures by developing an n-SnS2/thiol-MoTe2 junction FET (thiol-JFET). Notably, the thiol-JFET exhibited a significant negative photoresponse with a responsivity of 50 A W-1 and a fast response time of 80 ms based on band-to-band tunneling. More interestingly, the thiol-JFET displayed a gate tunable trimodal photodetection comprising two photoactive modes (positive and negative photoresponse) and one photoinactive mode. These findings underscore the potential of molecular engineering approaches in enhancing the performance and functionality of MoTe2-based nanodevices as key components in advanced 2D-based optoelectronics.
