Popis: To enhance the feasibility of 2-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) channels in future nano-electronic and optoelectronic devices, a top gate device structure fabricated with very-large-scale-integration compatible process is mandatory. High-κ dielectric ZrO2 has been directly deposited on MoS2 through low-temperature atomic layer deposition (ALD) without any surface protection layers. The uniform growth of ZrO2 on MoS2 was confirmed to be caused by the physical adsorption, resulting in the suppressed interfacial oxidation and the reduced damage of monolayer (1L) MoS2 channel. Low thermal budget post-deposition annealing was found to be effective for reducing interfacial traps between ZrO2 and MoS2 interface, thus enhancing the device performances of 1L MoS2 nMOSFETs. Low capacitance equivalent thickness (CET) of ZrO2 of 2.3 nm has been achieved while maintaining decent device performance, indicating low-temperature ALD is promising for future TMDC top gate devices with a high-quality interface and thin CET.
