and unique band structures. [1] Semiconducting monolayers of the TMDs, such as MoS 2 and WSe 2 , possess a direct band gap and excellent photoresponsivity. [2,3] In addition, single-layer MoS 2 is moderately easy to attain Ohmic contact with various metals [4][5][6][7] and graphene, [8] and the singlelayer MoS 2 field-effect transistors (FETs) show decent performances on the mobility (tens of cm 2 V −1 s −1 ) [9,10] and the on-off current ratio (exceeding 10 8 ) [4,10] at room temperature, suggesting that the monolayer MoS 2 holds greater potential for flexible nanodevices and optoelectronic applications. The huge surface-to-volume ratio of the atomically thin TMDs makes their performances extremely sensitive to the surface and interface conditions. The low-frequency electrical noise of devices often discloses the influences from the surface [11] and the interface conditions and has been widely adopted as a nondestructive tool to study the interface conditions. The subthreshold slope of the FETs and the photo response time of the MoS 2 photodetectors are significantly determined by the interfacial traps. [12] Unlike the thermal noise and shot noise that possess a constant power spectral density, low-frequency noise typically has a 1/f spectrum, and its effect on the accuracy of a device cannot be reduced by increasing the averaging time. [13] Such noise manner causes a critical issue of applications of the TMDs in the signal sensing and processing, [14] and raises numerous interests in investigating the 1/f noise in the TMD-based devices for identifying its origin and for reducing its strength.The first study of low-frequency electrical noise in exfoliated monolayer MoS 2 [15] claimed that the noise has a 1/f spectrum and is mainly explained by fluctuation of the mobility. By contrast, the 1/f noise in the exfoliated MoTe 2[16] with the ambipolar transport behaviors and many other TMD FETs [17][18][19][20] is further described as fluctuation of the carrier density. Finding a clear picture of the possible factors contributing to the 1/f noise, including the external adsorbates on the devices, [15] the defect states at the metal/TMD contacts, [17] and the trappingdetrapping centers in the substrate near the TMD channel, [18,21] remains a challenging issue because of the lack of Ohmic contacts, ideal material quality, and an effective control of the carrier density. Recently, the high-quality chemical-vapor-deposited (CVD) MoS 2 monolayers show the comparable electrical
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
