Fabrication of multi-layer Bi2Se3 devices and observation of anomalous electrical transport behaviors
2017
Abstract In this paper, we report on the fabrication of multi-layer bismuth selenide (Bi 2 Se 3 ) devices by lithography process and their electrical transport characteristics studied at room temperature. The observation of a non-linear current-voltage characteristic is analyzed with various current transport mechanisms such as Schottky barrier, space-charge limited conduction (SCLC), Fowler-Nordheim (F-N) tunneling and Poole-Frenkel (P-F) conduction. The F-N tunneling via field emission current induced in high-voltage was found to be the dominant conduction mechanism which could responsible for the nonlinear behavior as compared to SCLC and P-F conduction phenomena. The charge traps present in the Bi 2 Se 3 bulk causes SCLC and P-F conduction. A carrier mobility in Bi 2 Se 3 is extracted as ~ 1220 cm 2 V −1 s −1 . Our study further advances the understanding of the fundamental charge transport mechanisms appeared in Bi 2 Se 3 which will be an essential parameter in the development of various electronic applications such as resistive memory switching and sensing devices.
