Abstract
We report on the fabrication of top-gate phototransistors based on a few-layered MoS(2) nanosheet with a transparent gate electrode. Our devices with triple MoS(2) layers exhibited excellent photodetection capabilities for red light, while those with single- and double-layers turned out to be quite useful for green light detection. The varied functionalities are attributed to energy gap modulation by the number of MoS(2) layers. The photoelectric probing on working transistors with the nanosheets demonstrates that single-layer MoS(2) has a significant energy bandgap of 1.8 eV, while those of double- and triple-layer MoS(2) reduce to 1.65 and 1.35 eV, respectively.
