Metal-Semiconductor Junctions

350
The contact of metal and semiconductor can lead to the formation of a junction with either Schottky or Ohmic behavior.
Schottky Barriers
Schottky barriers arise when a metal with a work function (Φm) contacts a semiconductor with a different work function (Φs). Initially, electrons transfer until the Fermi levels of the metal and semiconductor align at equilibrium. For instance, if Φm > Φs, the semiconductor Fermi level is higher than the metal's before contact. The...

Background:

  • Two-dimensional (2D) transitional metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are promising for next-generation electronics.
  • Contact resistance significantly hinders the performance of TMD-based field-effect transistors (FETs).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an effective strategy for optimizing contact resistance in WSe2 FETs.

  • Fabricated WSe2 FETs with doped contact regions and stacked TaSe2 flakes.

Main Results:

  • Achieved an ultralow Schottky barrier height of 65 meV.
  • Reduced contact resistance to 11 kΩ·μm, a 50-fold improvement over conventional Cr/Au contacts.
  • Demonstrated significantly enhanced electrical performance of WSe2 FETs.

Conclusions:

  • Contact doping and 2D metallic electrodes effectively reduce contact resistance in WSe2 FETs.
  • This method provides a viable route for fabricating high-performance 2D FETs.
