This study presents a self-encapsulated heterostructure undercut technique for fabricating sub-10 nm channel length MoS2 FETs. The 9 nm channel MoS2 FETs fabricated using this technique exhibit superior performances and excellent homogeneity.
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors such as mono-layer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) are promising building blocks for ultrascaled field effect transistors (FETs), benefiting from their atomic thickness, dangling-bond-free flat surface, and excellent gate controll-ability. However, despite great prospects, the fabrication of 2D ultrashort channel FETs with high performance and uniformity remains a challenge. Here, we report a self-encapsulated heterostructure undercut technique for the fabrication of sub-10 nm channel length MoS2 FETs. The fabricated 9 nm channel MoS2 FETs exhibit superior performances compared with sub-15 nm channel length including the competitive on -state current density of 734/433 mu A/mu m at VDS = 2/1 V, record-low DIBL of similar to 50 mV/V, and superior on/off ratio of 3 x 107 and low subthreshold swing of similar to 100 mV/dec. Furthermore, the ultrashort channel MoS2 FETs fabricated by this new technique show excellent homogeneity. Thanks to this, we scale the monolayer inverter down to sub-10 nm channel length.
