제목 Enhanced performance of MoS2 thin-film transistors encapsulated with photoresist
초록 Unlike graphene, the existence of direct band gaps in transition metal dichalcogenides such as MoS2 offers an attractive possibility of using MoS2 in field-effect transistors (FETs). However, as MoS2 channel is vulnerable to oxygen and moisture exposure degrading device performance, encapsulation has been suggested as a strategy to prevent the absorption of oxygen, moisture and other contaminants. Previous encapsulation using high-k dielectrics such as Al2O3 and HfO2 requires complex vacuum process and relatively long process time. In this work, we investigate a simple and efficient process to encapsulate MoS2 TFTs using AZ® photoresist for the first time. With the AZ® photoresist encapsulation, we observed improved device performance including increased field-effect mobility, reduced subthreshold slope, and increased on/off-current ratio. The negative shift of the threshold voltage suggested n-type doping by the encapsulation with AZ® photoresist. Observed n-doping is attributed to the electropositive hydroxyl groups in AZ® photoresist encapsulation donating electrons to underlying MoS2. These results demonstrate that the encapsulation using AZ®  photoresist is a simple and efficient method of improving device performance of MoS2 TFTs and other two-dimensional electronic devices.
