PG - 11545-11554 LID - 10.1039/d2cp05164h [doi] AB - Monolayer (ML) PtSe(2) is a two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor with a modest band gap and high carrier mobility, and it is a promising 2D material for electronic devices. Finding suitable metal electrodes is a key factor in fabricating high-performance PtSe(2) field effect transistors (FETs). In this study, a series of 2D metals, transition metal dichalcogenides (NbSe(2), TaS(2)), borophene, and MXenes (V(2)C(OH)(2), V(2)CF(2), Nb(2)C(OH)(2), Nb(2)CF(2), Nb(2)CO(2), Hf(2)C(OH)(2), Hf(2)CF(2)) were used as electrodes for FET fabrication. The interfacial electronic properties of electrodes and PtSe(2) were studied in both the vertical and lateral directions using the ab initio method. In the vertical direction, PtSe(2) formed ohmic contacts with most of the 2D metals except for Nb(2)CF(2) and Hf(2)CF(2). Specifically, in the cases of Nb(2)CF(2) and Hf(2)CF(2), p- and n-type Schottky contacts were formed with Schottky barrier heights (SBHs) of 0.48 eV and 0.02 eV, respectively. In the lateral direction, PtSe(2) with contacting Hf(2)CF(2) and V(2)C(OH)(2) electrodes formed n-type Schottky contacts with SBHs of 0.14 eV and 0.09 eV, respectively. In the cases of TaS(2) and Nb(2)CF(2) electrodes, p-type Schottky contacts with SBHs of 0.35 eV and 0.29 eV, respectively, were formed. Moreover, n-type ohmic contacts were observed when Hf(2)C(OH)(2) and Nb(2)C(OH)(2) electrodes were applied, and p-type ohmic contacts were formed when borophene, NbSe(2), Nb(2)CO(2), and V(2)CF(2) electrodes were used. This work reports a systematic investigation of ML PtSe(2)-2D metal interfaces and serves as a practical guide for selecting electrode materials for PtSe(2) FETs.
