摘要
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) demonstrate great potential in electronic and optoelectronic applications. However, the device performance remains limited because of the poor metal contact. Herein, we fabricate a high-performance ultrathin MoTe2 phototransistor. By introducing an electron tunneling mechanism, electron injection from electrode to channel is strikingly enhanced. The electron mobility approaches 25.2 cm(2) V-1 s(-1), better than that of other back-gated MoTe2 FETs. Through electrical measurements at various temperatures, the electron tunneling mechanism is further confirmed. The MoTe2 phototransistor exhibits very high responsivity up to 2560 A/W which is higher than that of most other TMDs. This work may provide guidance to reduce the contact resistance at metal-semiconductor junction and pave a pathway to develop high-performance optoelectronic devices in the future.
