Abstract
Abstract Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has excellent optoelectronic properties, chemical stability, and a two-dimensional (2D) structure, making MoS2 a very versatile field-effect device material. Herein, we characterize MoS2 and utilize a photo-responsive I–V technique for extracting the energy distribution of the bulk traps in multi-layer MoS2 field effect transistors (FET). This method uses the differential ideality factor in both dark and light conditions. The differential ideality factor enables the efficient quantitative extraction of the device trap density by considering the nonlinear characteristics of the subthreshold region (V ON < V GS < V T). To accurately differentiate between the sub-bandgap traps and the interface traps near the conduction band, near-infrared light (λ= 1530 nm) optical illumination was used for the light state characterization. The bulk trap densities under dark state and light state conditions were derived for multi-layer (7-layer and 9-layer) MoS2 FET channels, and the influence of light illumination and overall multi-layer thickness on the bulk trap density was confirmed. The accurate extraction of the trap density enables the design of MoS2 FETs with long-term stability and high optoelectronic performance.
