WSe2 p-MOSFETs with Nb-Doped WS2 Contacts Deposited using Atomic Layer Deposition

WSe2 p-MOSFETs with Nb-doped WS2 contacts formed using atomic layer deposition are demonstrated. The devices are fabricated using a technique that aligns the contact metallization with the Nb-doped WS2 contacts using a selective oxidation process. Devices with source/drain spacing of 0.15 um have on-state current of 103 uA/um at VDS = -1 V at a channel carrier concentration of ~ 7.5 x 1012 cm-2. The results provide a promising CMOS-compatible pathway to create low-resistance contacts to 2D-channel transistors.
