We report electrical properties of ultrathin layers of Indium Selenide (InSe), a member of the III-VI chalcogenides family, which has shown a mobility two orders of magnitude higher than MoS2, alongside better stability than black phosphorus.
InSe has light electron effective mass and high mobility enabling its usage for fast, high performance electronics. State-of-the-art InSe transistors reported so far, consist of 6 nm thick InSe flake contacted using graphene edge contacts and reaching a mobility of 1500 cm2V-1s-1 at RT in top-gate configuration. However, InSe being an air-sensitive material loses its conductance over time, resulting the transistor to become unfunctional.
In this study, we report an InSe-based transistor fully encapsulated in h-BN layers which enhanced its electrical properties compared to an un-encapsulated device. The transistor reached a high Hall mobility at RT, while retaining its performance for a long period of time.
