Abstract Details

2022, Doctor of Philosophy, Case Western Reserve University, Physics.
In a world where modern micro- and nanoelectronics are reaching their limits, a spotlight has been focused on novel two-dimensional and layered materials. It is critically important to understand the electronic transport properties of potentially useful semiconductors in order to gauge their applicability for electronic devices. This dissertation explores layered semiconductor materials and characterizes their gate transport properties within the context of field effect transistor devices. One project examines MoO3 and its versatility as a layered gate dielectric material integrated onto a WSe2 field effect transistor. The following project concentrates on the anisotropic and ambipolar transport properties of ReSe2. Lastly, the subthreshold regime of the gate characteristic curve is explored for ambipolar devices, illustrating how to tune this behavior in WSe2 devices with respect to different contact metals. Overall, the electronic characterization of these materials will aid in developing new, functional nano-scale devices.
