Abstract

The combination of high-quality Al2 O3 dielectric and thiol chemistry passivation can effectively reduce the density of interface traps and Coulomb impurities, leading to a significant improvement of the mobility and a transition of the charge transport from the insulating to the metallic regime. A record high mobility of 83 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) (337 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) ) is reached at room temperature (low temperature) for monolayer WS2 . A theoretical model for electron transport is also developed.
