Researchers propose a simple yet powerful contact electrode design to enhance the interlayer carrier injection efficiency along the thickness, providing an advanced electronic device platform for high-performing 2D optoelectronic devices.
Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) layered materials have provided novel opportunities to explore interesting physical properties such as thickness-dependent bandgap, moire ' excitons, superconductivity, and superfluidity. However, the presence of interlayer resistance along the thickness and Schottky barrier in metal-to-2D vdW semiconducting materials causes a limited interlayer charge injection efficiency, perturbing various intrinsic properties of 2D vdW multilayers. Herein, we report a simple but powerful contact electrode design to enhance interlayer carrier injection efficiency along the thickness by constructing vertical double-side contact (VDC) electrodes. A 2-fold extended contact area of VDC not only strongly limits an interlayer resistance contribution to the field-effect mobility and current density at the metal-to-2D semiconductor interface but also significantly suppresses both current transfer length (<= 1 mu m) and specific contact resistivity (<= 1 m Omega center dot cm(2)), manifesting clear benefits of VDC in comparison with those in conventional top-contact and bottom-contact configurations. Our layout for contact electrode configuration may suggest an advanced electronic device platform for high-performing 2D optoelectronic devices.
