Femtosecond Laser Irradiation-Mediated MoS<sub>2</sub>–Metal Contact Engineering for High-Performance Field-Effect Transistors and Photodetectors
Bibliographic record
Abstract
2D materials exhibit intriguing electrical and optical properties, making them promising candidates for next-generation nanoelectronic devices. However, the high contact resistance of 2D materials to electrode material often limits the ultimate performance and potential of 2D materials and devices. In this work, we demonstrate a localized femtosecond (fs) laser irradiation process to substantially minimize the resistance of MoS 2 –metal contacts. A reduction of the contact resistance exceeding three orders of magnitude is achieved for mechanically exfoliated MoS 2, which remarkably improves the overall FET performance. The underlying mechanisms of resistance reduction are the removal of organic contamination induced by the transfer process, as well as the lowering of Schottky barrier resistance ( R SB ) attributed to interface Fermi level pinning (FLP) by Au diffusion, and the lowering of interlayer resistance ( R int ) due to interlayer coupling enhancement by Au intercalation under fs laser irradiation. By taking advantage of the improved MoS 2 –metal contact behavior, a high-performance MoS 2 photodetector was developed with a photoresponsivity of 68.8 A W –1 at quite a low V ds of 0.5 V, which is ∼80 times higher than the pristine multilayer photodetector. This contamination-free, site-specific, and universal photonic fabrication technique provides an effective tool for the integration of complex 2D devices, and the mechanism of MoS 2 –metal interface modification reveals a new pathway to engineer the 2D material–metal interface.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
