In this work, we report on the layered deposition of few-layer tin disulfide (SnS 2 ) using atomic layer deposition (ALD). By varying the ALD cycles it was possible to deposit poly-crystalline SnS 2 with small variation in layer numbers. Based on the ALD technique, we developed the process technology growing few-layer crystalline SnS 2 film (3-6 layers) and we investigated their electrical properties by fabricating bottom-gated thin film transistors using the ALD SnS 2 as the transport channel. SnS 2 devices showed typical n-type characteristic with on/off current ratio of ∼8.32×10 6 , threshold voltage of ∼2 V, and a subthreshold swing value of 830 mV decade −1 for the 6 layers SnS 2 . The developed SnS 2 ALD technique may aid the realization of two-dimensional SnS 2 based flexible and wearable devices.
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.
