PG - 18780-8 LID - 10.1039/c5nr04836b [doi] AB - Recently, two-dimensional materials such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) have been extensively studied as channel materials for field effect transistors (FETs) because MoS2 has outstanding electrical properties such as a low subthreshold swing value, a high on/off ratio, and good carrier mobility. In this study, we characterized the electrical and photo-responsive properties of MoS2 FET when stacking a p-type organic copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) layer on the MoS2 surface. We observed that the threshold voltage of MoS2 FET could be controlled by stacking the CuPc layers due to a charge transfer phenomenon at the interface. Particularly, we demonstrated that CuPc/MoS2 hybrid devices exhibited high performance as a photodetector compared with the pristine MoS2 FETs, caused by more electron-hole pairs separation at the p-n interface. Furthermore, we found the optimized CuPc thickness ( approximately 2 nm) on the MoS2 surface for the best performance as a photodetector with a photoresponsivity of approximately 1.98 A W(-1), a detectivity of approximately 6.11 x 10(10) Jones, and an external quantum efficiency of approximately 12.57%. Our study suggests that the MoS2 vertical hybrid structure with organic material can be promising as efficient photodetecting devices and optoelectronic circuits.
