Abstract
A method includes depositing a first transition metal film having a first transition metal on a substrate and performing a first sulfurization process to the first transition metal film, thereby forming a first transition metal sulfide film. The method further includes depositing a second transition metal film having a second transition metal on the first transition metal sulfide film and performing a second sulfurization process to the second transition metal film, thereby forming a second transition metal sulfide film. The first and the second transition metals are different. The method further includes forming a gate stack, and source and drain features over the second transition metal sulfide film. The gate stack is interposed between the source and drain features. The gate stack, source and drain features, the first transition metal sulfide film and the second transition metal sulfide film are configured to function as a hetero-structure transistor.
