Large-Scale Fabrication of RF MOSFETs on Liquid-Exfoliated MoS2

For the first time, thousands of RF MOSFETs were batch-fabricated on liquid-exfoliated Mos

yield. The large-scale fabrication with high yield allowed the average performance instead of the best performance to be reported. The DC performance of these devices were typical, but the RF performance, enabled by buried gates and on the order of 100 MHz, was reported for the first time for liquid-exfoliated Mos

. To resolve the dilemma of thin vs. thick films, channel recess was used on 20-nm thick films to improve the gate control while keeping the contact resistance lower than that on 10-nm films. These innovations may enable thin-film transistors to operate in the microwave range.
