    Abstract:
    Although the crystal phase of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) has been proven to play an essential role in fabricating high-performance electronic devices in the past decade, its effect on the performance of 2D material-based flash memory devices still remains unclear. Here, we report the exploration of the effect of MoTe2 in different phases as the charge-trapping layer on the performance of 2D van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure-based flash memory devices, where a metallic 1T'-MoTe2 or semiconducting 2H-MoTe2 nanoflake is used as the floating gate. By conducting comprehensive measurements on the two kinds of vdW heterostructure-based devices, the memory device based on MoS2/h-BN/1T'-MoTe2 presents much better performance, including a larger memory window, faster switching speed (100 ns), and higher extinction ratio (107), than that of the device based on the MoS2/h-BN/2H-MoTe2 heterostructure. Moreover, the device based on the MoS2/h-BN/1T'-MoTe2 heterostructure also shows a long cycle (>1200 cycles) and retention (>3000 s) stability. Our study clearly demonstrates that the crystal phase of 2D TMDs has a significant impact on the performance of nonvolatile flash memory devices based on 2D vdW heterostructures, which paves the way for the fabrication of future high-performance memory devices based on 2D materials.
