Hybrid van der Waals p–n Heterojunctions based on SnO and 2D MoS₂

Abstract

A p-type oxide/2D hybrid van der Waals p-n heterojunction is demonstrated for the first time between SnO (tin monoxide) (the p-type oxide) and 2D MoS₂ (molybdenum disulfide), showing an ideality factor of 2 and rectification ratio up to 10⁴ . The reported heterojunction is gate-tunable with typical anti-ambipolar transfer characteristics. Surface potential mapping is performed and a current model for such a heterojunction is proposed.
