2-nm-Thick Indium Oxide Featuring High Mobility
ADVANCED MATERIALS INTERFACES(2023)
Abstract
Thin film transistors (TFTs) are key components for the fabrication of electronic and optoelectronic devices, resulting in a push for the wider exploration of semiconducting materials and cost-effective synthesis processes. In this report, a simple approach is proposed to achieve 2-nm-thick indium oxide nanosheets from liquid metal surfaces by employing a squeeze printing technique and thermal annealing at 250 degrees C in air. The resulting materials exhibit a high degree of transparency (>99 %) and an excellent electron mobility of approximate to 96 cm(2) V-1 s(-1), surpassing that of pristine printed 2D In2O3 and many other reported 2D semiconductors. UV-detectors based on annealed 2D In2O3 also benefit from this process step, with the photoresponsivity reaching 5.2 x 10(4) and 9.4 x 10(3) A W-1 at the wavelengths of 285 and 365 nm, respectively. These values are an order of magnitude higher than for as-synthesized 2D In2O3. Utilizing transmission electron microscopy with in situ annealing, it is demonstrated that the improvement in device performances is due to nanostructural changes within the oxide layers during annealing process. This work highlights a facile and ambient air compatible method for fabricating high-quality semiconducting oxides, which will find application in emerging transparent electronics and optoelectronics.
