Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) layers are highly promising as field-effect transistor (FET) channels in the atomic-scale limit. However, accomplishing this superiority in scaled-up FETs remains challenging due to their van der Waals (vdW) bonding nature with respect to conventional metal electrodes. Herein, we report a scalable approach to fabricate centimeter-scale all-2D FET arrays of platinum diselenide (PtSe<sub>2</sub>) with in-plane platinum ditelluride (PtTe<sub>2</sub>) edge contacts, mitigating the aforementioned challenges. We realized a reversible transition between semiconducting PtSe<sub>2</sub> and metallic PtTe<sub>2</sub> via a low-temperature anion exchange reaction compatible with the back-end-of-line (BEOL) processes. All-2D PtSe<sub>2</sub> FETs seamlessly edge-contacted with transited metallic PtTe<sub>2</sub> exhibited significant performance improvements compared to those with surface-contacted gold electrodes, e.g., an increase of carrier mobility and on/off ratio by over an order of magnitude, achieving a maximum hole mobility of ∼50.30 cm<sup>2</sup> V<sup>-1</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> at room temperature. This study opens up new opportunities toward atomically thin 2D-TMD-based circuitries with extraordinary functionalities.
