SnSe2 field-effect transistors with high drive current

Abstract

SnSe2 field-effect transistors fabricated using mechanical exfoliation are reported. Substrate-gated devices with source-to-drain spacing of 0.5 μm have been fabricated with drive current of 160 μA/μm at T = 300 K. The transconductance at a drain-to-source voltage of Vds = 2 V increases from 0.94 μS/μm at 300 K to 4.0 μS/μm at 4.4 K, while the field-effect mobility increases from 8.6 cm2/Vs at 300 K to 28 cm2/Vs at 77 K. The conductance at Vds = 50 mV shows an activation energy of only 5.5 meV, indicating the absence of a significant Schottky barrier at the source and drain contacts.

Beyond Graphene: Progress in Novel Two-Dimensional Materials and van der Waals Solids

“…In addition to Mo-and W-based dichalcogenides, several other metal chalcogenides, such as SnSe 2 , GaS, GaSe, In 2 Se 3 , and silicene (a 2D silicon analog to graphene), have also been explored as the channel material for FETs (110)(111)(112)(113). The most recent addition to this exotic class of 2D materials is phosphorene, a single layer of black phosphorus (114)(115)(116).…”

“…[ 13 ] However, most studies have been reported on thick SnSe 2 fi lms obtained by radio-frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering, [ 14 ] or molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) deposition. [ 15 ] Recently reported mechanical exfoliated SnSe 2 crystals demonstrated that it has a high carrier mobility of 8.6 cm 2 V −1 s −1 in ambient environment, [ 16 ] superior to many other reported 2D materials. [ 17,18 ] The layered structure, proper electronic properties, and inherent semiconducting characteristics make SnSe 2 attractive in nanoelectronic and optoelectronic fi elds.…”
