Charge carrier density control is a key factor to modify the electronic functionality of materials. The ability to induce high charge carrier concentration into various two-dimensional materials has led to exotic phenomena such as insulator-metal transition and superconductivity. So far, different techniques have been used to achieve this. Meanwhile, electric double layer transistor (EDLT) is a highly promising platform as it can provide high charge carrier density of up to 1015 cm−2 in its channel material. This is two orders of magnitude larger than that in the conventional transistors as a result of using ionic liquids instead of common solid dielectrics. First, I will give a short overview on the EDLTs, then I will present our experimental results of ionic liquid gated two-dimensional tellurium (Te). Our results show the possibility of gate tuning insulator-metal phase transition and the gate and temperature-dependent weak antilocalization in p-type Te films. More interestingly, we have shown the ability of controlling the spin-orbit interaction in the material by changing the applied gate voltage.
