Abstract
In the continuous transistor feature size scaling down, the scaling of the supply voltage is stagnant because of the subthreshold swing (SS) limit. A transistor with a new mechanism is needed to break through the thermionic limit of SS and hold the large drive current at the same time. Here, by adopting the recently proposed Dirac-source field-effect transistor (DSFET) technology, we experimentally demonstrate a MoS<sub>2</sub>/graphene (1.8 nm/0.3 nm) DSFET for the first time, and a steep SS of 37.9 mV/dec at room temperature with nearly free hysteresis is observed. Besides, by bringing in the structure of gate-all-around (GAA), the MoS<sub>2</sub>/graphene DSFET exhibits a steeper SS of 33.5 mV/dec and a 40% increased normalized drive current up to 52.7 μA·μm/μm (<i>V</i><sub>DS</sub> = 1 V) with a current on/off ratio of 10<sup>8</sup>, which shows potential for low-power and high-performance electronics applications.
