摘要

Transition metal dichalcogenides are a potential alternative to silicon and could be used to create transistors with a contacted gate pitch below 40 nm as required by the ångström-node transistor technology. However, it remains challenging to maintain an ohmic contact when the contact length is reduced to less than 20 nm. Here we show that crystalline semi-metallic antimony contacts can be epitaxially grown on molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) by molecular beam epitaxy, creating ohmic contacts with a resistance of 98 Ω µm at a contact length of 18 nm. We use the contacts to build scaled field-effect transistors with a contacted gate pitch of 40 nm with drive currents of 0.85 mA µm−1, 0.95 mA µm−1 and 1.08 mA µm−1 for monolayer, bilayer and trilayer MoS2 channels, respectively. Statistical analysis of transistor arrays confirms that the crystalline antimony contacts are reproducible and stable.
