Abstract

MoS 2 as atomically thin semiconductor is highly sensitive to ambient atmosphere (e.g., oxygen, moisture, etc.) in optical and electrical properties. Here we report a controlled gas molecules doping of monolayer MoS 2 via atomic-layer-deposited Al 2 O 3 films. The deposited Al 2 O 3 films, in the shape of nanospheres, can effectively control the contact areas between ambient atmosphere and MoS 2 that allows precise modulation of gas molecules doping. By analyzing photoluminescence (PL) emission spectra of MoS 2 with different thickness of Al 2 O 3, the doped carrier concentration is estimated at ∼2.7 × 10 13 cm –2 based on the mass action model. Moreover, time-dependent PL measurements indicate an incremental stability of single layer MoS 2 as the thicknesses of Al 2 O 3 capping layer increase. Effective control of gas molecules doping in monolayer MoS 2 provides us a valuable insight into the applications of MoS 2 based optical and electrical devices.
