Abstract

Two-dimensional semiconductor-metal contacts with induced mid-gap states, resulting in Fermi pinning, have been impeding the development of next-generation scaled devices. Many efforts have been devoted to find optimized evaporation methods to make ultra-clean vdW contacts. However, the fundamental mechanisms underlying the origin of induced mid-gap states and how the mid-gap states influence contact properties are still urgent to be explored. Herein, ab-initio NEGF calculations are conducted to discover the origin of mid-gap states arising in In/Au-VP vdW/bonding contacts. It is demonstrated that the bonding interactions of In-VP bonding contacts result in contact resistance as low as 0.600 kΩ·μm, which is as five orders of magnitudes as lower than case of Au-VP vdW contact. This work will pave the way for the development of next-generation devices based on 2D materials.
