摘要

Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) materials such as WSe2 and MoS2 are promising channel materials for field-effect transistor (FET) biosensors due to their atomic thickness, strong electrostatic control, and high surface sensitivity. In this work, a device-level analysis of a double-gated TMDC-based FET biosensor with hetero-dielectric gate engineering is presented. The proposed structure employs WSe2 and MoS2 as channel materials and Hf O2 as the primary gate dielectric, while additional dielectric layers with different dielectric constants are introduced in the sensing region to create a hetero-dielectric configuration. Numerical simulations are performed to analyze dielectric modulation representing different biomolecular environments. The effect of dielectric constant variation on drain current, threshold voltage, and ION/IOFF ratio is investigated. Results show that increasing the dielectric constant enhances gate capacitance and electrostatic control, improving current modulation and sensing performance. Comparative analysis indicates that hetero-dielectric double-gated structures enhance device sensitivity for low-power nanoscale biosensor applications.
