PG - 3503-3510 LID - 10.1021/acs.nanolett.1c00180 [doi] AB - Molybdenum disulfide (MoS(2)) has been regarded as one of the most important n-type two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide semiconductors for nanoscale electron devices. Relatively high contact resistance (R(C)) remains as an issue in the 2D-devices yet to be resolved. Reliable technique is very compelling to practically produce low R(C) values in device electronics, although scientific approaches have been made to obtain a record-low R(C). To resolve this practical issue, we here use thermal-evaporated ultrathin LiF between channel and source/drain metal to fabricate 2D-like MoS(2) field effect transistors (FETs) with minimum R(C). Under 4-bar FET method, R(C) less than approximately 600 Omega.mum is achieved from the LiF/Au contact MoS(2) FET. Our normal 2-bar FET with LiF thus shows the same mobility as that of 4-bar FET that should have no R(C) in principle. On the basis of these results, ultrathin LiF is also applied for transparent conducting oxide contact, successfully enabling transparent MoS(2) FETs.
