Accurate extraction of WSe2 FETs parameters by using pulsed I-V method at various temperatures

This work investigates the intrinsic characteristics of multilayer WSe₂ field effect transistors (FETs) by analysing Pulsed I-V (PIV) and DC characteristics measured at various temperatures. In DC measurement, unwanted charge trapping due to the gate bias stress results in I-V curves different from the intrinsic characteristic. However, PIV reduces the effect of gate bias stress so that intrinsic characteristic of WSe₂ FETs is obtained. The parameters such as hysteresis, field effect mobility (μ_eff), subthreshold slope (SS), and threshold voltage (V_th) measured by PIV are significantly different from those obtained by DC measurement. In PIV results, the hysteresis is considerably reduced compared with DC measurement, because the charge trapping effect is significantly reduced. With increasing temperature, the field effect mobility (μ_eff) and subthreshold swing (SS) are deteriorated, and threshold voltage (V_th) decreases.
