| Summary: | Abstract SnSe2 field-effect transistor was fabricated based on exfoliated few-layered SnSe2 flake, and its electrical and photoelectric properties have been investigated in detail. With the help of a drop of de-ionized (DI) water, the SnSe2 FET can achieve an on/off ratio as high as ~ 104 within 1 V bias, which is ever extremely difficult for SnSe2 due to its ultrahigh carrier density (1018/cm3). Moreover, the subthreshold swing and mobility are both improved to ∼ 62 mV/decade and ~ 127 cm2 V−1 s−1 at 300 K, which results from the efficient screening by the liquid dielectric gate. Interestingly, the SnSe2 FET exhibits a gate bias-dependent photoconductivity, in which a competition between the carrier concentration and the mobility under illumination plays a key role in determining the polarity of photoconductivity. |
