High-mobility junction field-effect transistor via graphene/MoS2 heterointerface.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) possesses a desirable direct bandgap with moderate carrier mobility, whereas graphene (Gr) exhibits a zero bandgap and excellent carrier mobility. Numerous approaches have been suggested for concomitantly realizing high on/off current ratio and high carrier mobility in field-effect transistors, but little is known to date about the effect of two-dimensional layered materials. Herein, we propose a Gr/MoS2 heterojunction platform, i.e., junction field-effect transistor (JFET), that enhances the carrier mobility by a factor of?~?10 (~?100 cm2 V-1 s-1) compared to that of monolayer MoS2, while retaining a high on/off current ratio of?~?108 at room temperature. The Fermi level of Gr can be tuned by the wide back-gate bias (VBG) to modulate the effective Schottky barrier height (SBH) at the Gr/MoS2 heterointerface from 528 meV (n-MoS2/p-Gr) to 116 meV (n-MoS2/n-Gr), consequently enhancing the carrier mobility. The double humps in the transconductance derivative profile clearly reveal the carrier transport mechanism of Gr/MoS2, where the barrier height is controlled by electrostatic doping.
