Demonstrates high‐κ and ultrawide bandgap dielectric, enhancing performance in 2D electronics, suggesting improved transistor functionality.
The development of van der Waals (vdW) dielectric materials with high dielectric constants and wide bandgaps is crucial for advancing the practical application of two‐dimensional (2D) transistors. However, current dielectrics often exhibit advantages in only one of these two aspects, which limits the further improvement of transistor performance. This study demonstrates an ideal dielectric NH 4 Be 2 BO 3 F 2 (ABBF) for 2D electronic devices, which exhibit a high dielectric constant up to 39 and a wide bandgap of 8.1 eV. Dielectric performance tests show that it has an ultralow leakage current density (≈ 10 −8 A cm −2 ) and a robust breakdown field (12.6 MV cm −1 ). The MoS 2 field‐effect transistors (FETs) gated by ABBF achieve a high on/off ratio of 2 × 10 9 , near‐Boltzmann‐limit subthreshold swing (60 mV dec −1 ), and negligible hysteresis of 2.7 mV. Benefiting from its inert vdW surface, ABBF forms a high‐quality MoS 2 /ABBF interface with an extremely low density of trap states ( D it ≈ 4.6 × 10 10 cm −2 eV −1 ). In addition, high‐κ ABBF dielectrics were also applied for fabricating short‐channel MoS 2 FETs and high‐gain logic inverters. This research enlarges the pool of dielectric candidates and unlocks new possibilities for advancing low‐power electronics and integrated circuits.
