- Abstract
- We present a systematic investigation of polyethylenimine (PEI) doping mechanism and its effects on the multilayer MoS2 field effect transistors (FETs). The threshold voltages of MoS2 FETs before (i.e., pristine) and PEI doping are observed at 3.7 and 0.72 V, respectively. This negative threshold voltage shift clearly reveals that the PEI molecules effectively act as n-type dopants. The electrical properties are improved by absorption of PEI molecules onto MoS2 channel because the width of Schottky barrier (SB) is narrowed by the induced interfacial dipole between PEI molecules and MoS2 layers. Through the density function theory (DFT) calculation and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis, we confirm that formation of MoN bond generates new energy state into the bandgap. Consequently, the hole carriers can easily tunnel through the barrier under negative gate voltage. Furthermore, PEI doping improve photoresponsivity and time-resolved photo-switching characteristics because of the new energy state. Our studies demonstrate the PEI doping method has a great potential for improving electrical and optical properties of MoS2-based devices. © 2017 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
