High-mobility and air-stable two-dimensional (2D) Bi 2 O 2 Se semiconductor holds promise as an alternative fast channel material for next-generation transistors. However, one of the key challenges remaining in 2D Bi 2 O 2 Se is to prepare high-quality crystals to fabricate the high-performance transistors with a high on-state current density. Here, we present the free-standing growth of strainfree 2D Bi 2 O 2 Se crystals. An ultrahigh Hall mobility of 160 000 cm 2 V −1 s −1 is measured in strain-free Bi 2 O 2 Se crystals at 2 K, which enables the observation of Shubnikov-de Haas quantum oscillations and shows substantially higher (>4 times) mobility over previous inplane 2D crystals. The fabricated 2D transistors feature an on−off current ratio of ∼10 6 and a record-high on-state current density of ∼1.33 mA μm −1 , which is comparable to that of commercial Si and Ge n-type field-effect transistors (FETs) for similar channel length. Strain-free 2D Bi 2 O 2 Se provides a promising material platform for studying novel quantum phenomena and exploration of high-performance low-power electronics.
