Title: High electron mobility and quantum oscillations in non-encapsulated ultrathin semiconducting Bi2O2Se

Abstract

Identifying new two-dimensional (2D) materials with both high carrier mobility and a large electronic band gap is critical for novel electronics and optoelectronics applications. Here, we demonstrated a new air-stable ultrahigh-mobility layered Bi2O2Se semiconductor with a large band gap of ~ 0.8 eV and a low effective mass of ~ 0.14 m0. High-quality 2D Bi2O2Se crystals with a thickness down to a monolayer and a domain size greater than 200 μm were readily grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Size-tunable band gap of Bi2O2Se was found to increase as thinning down to the monolayer due to the quantum confinement effect. An ultrahigh Hall mobility of > 20,000 cm2 V-1 s-1 was achieved in as-grown Bi2O2Se flakes at 1.9 K, which allows for the observation of Shubnikov–de Haas quantum oscillations. Top-gated field-effect transistors based on CVD-grown 2D Bi2O2Se crystals (down to bilayer) exhibited high Hall mobility (up to 450 cm2 V-1 s-1), large current on/off ratios (>106) and near-ideal subthreshold swings (~65 mV/dec) at room temperature. Our results make the high-mobility 2D Bi2O2Se semiconductor a promising candidate for future high-speed and low-power electronic applications.
