Ultrashort channel MoSe2 transistors with selenium atoms replaced at the interface: first-principles quantum-transport study
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Realizing n- and p-type transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD)-based field-effect transistors for nanoscale complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) applications remains challenging owing to undesirable contact resistance. Quantumtransport calculations were performed by replacing single-sided Se atoms of TMD near the interface with As or Br atoms to further improve the contact resistance. Here, partial selenium replacement produced a novel interface with a segment of metamaterial MoSeX (Pt/MoSeX/MoSe2; X = As, Br). Such stable metamaterials exhibit semi-metallicity, and the contact resistance can be thus lowered. Our findings provide insights into the potential of MoSe2-based nano-CMOS logic devices.
