| Popis: | Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have received significant interest for use in tunnel field-effect transistors (TFETs) due to their ultrathin layers and tunable band gap features. In this study, we used density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the electronic properties of six TMD heterostructures, namely, MoSe2/HfS2, MoTe2/ZrS2, MoTe2/HfS2, WSe2/HfS2, WTe2/ZrS2, and WTe2/HfS2, focusing on variations in band alignments. We demonstrate that WTe2/ZrS2 and WTe2/HfS2 have the smallest band gaps (close to 0 or broken) from the considered set. Furthermore, combining DFT with the nonequilibrium Green’s function method (DFT-NEGF), we analyzed the output I-V characteristics, revealing increased current as band gap closes across all studied heterostructures. Notably, WTe2/ZrS2 and WTe2/HfS2 show a potential negative differential resistance (NDR) even without a broken gap. Importantly, the inclusion of a p-doped gate effect in WTe2/ZrS2 enhances the current flow and band-to-band tunneling. The rapidly increasing tunneling current under low applied voltage indicates that the WTe2/ZrS2 and WTe2/HfS2 heterostructures are promising for applications in TFETs. |
