Editorial
Writing in Applied Materials & Interfaces scientists from the Sejong University, Seoul report their technique in reducing contact resistance in tungsten disulfide (WS2) field-effect transistors with standard Cr/Au contacts. Although there are several techniques to do this (e.g. using scandium, or phase-engineering) this technique is noted for being particularly straightforward.
The technique relies on dipping the samples in 0.01M aqueous solutions of LiF (lithium fluoride) and baking the sample briefly at 80°C before drying under nitrogen. The technique reduces the contact resistance in WS2 by a least an order of magnitude and introduces n-doping to the sample.
