Abstract

A method includes forming a 2-D material layer over a substrate, wherein the 2-D material layer comprises transition metal atoms and chalcogen atoms; forming a gate structure over the 2-D material layer; supplying chemical molecules to the 2-D material layer, such that atoms of the chemical molecules react with portions of the chalcogen atoms to weaken covalent bonds between the portions of the chalcogen atoms and the transition metal atoms; and forming source/drain contacts over the 2-D material layer, wherein contact metal atoms of the source/drain contacts form metallic bonds with the transition metal atoms of the 2-D material layer.
