In this study, we fabricated a double-recessed InP HEMT with a heavily doped In0.65Ga0.35As/In0.53Ga0.47As/In0.52Al0.48As multilayer cap structure to optimize the device’s performance at low temperatures. At low temperatures, excessive on-resistance (RON) leads to increased power dissipation and also contributes to higher noise, which affects the performance of the LNAs. We employed the heavily doped In0.65Ga0.35As layer to reduce the metal-semiconductor contact resistance, thereby effectively lowering RON. Experimental results show that at 7 K, the device’s RON is <inline-formula> <tex-math>$410~Omega cdot mu $ </tex-math></inline-formula>m, which could effectively reduce the power dissipation.

An original model is thus proposed to describe the channel-length-dependent mobility in these TFTs. By decoupling local and intrinsic transport properties affecting the drain current, the model reproduces and rationalizes the observed phenomena.

The device switches between the semimetallic (1T’) and semiconducting (2H) states under an electric field. Process-induced strain engineering techniques at the contacts reduces the switching energy barrier, biasing the active region closer to the phase switching point. This work focuses on optimizing this technique to achieve the best yield and device performance, with a low switching voltage (<inline-formula> <tex-math>$leq 0.5$ </tex-math></inline-formula>V) and high on/off ratio <inline-formula> <tex-math>$geq 10{^{{5}}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>. Small length and area of the contact between the metal stressor and the 2D 1T’-MoTe2 flake are critical for high yield and performance, potentially due to lowered chances of encountering defects introduced during the fabrication process (L<inline-formula> <tex-math>$leq 0.6mu $ </tex-math></inline-formula>m and A<inline-formula> <tex-math>$leq 0.3mu $ </tex-math></inline-formula>m2).

The switching voltage is influenced by the contact-flake geometry, exhibiting a lower value for 2D flake geometries with contact angles <inline-formula> <tex-math>$leq 65{^{text {o}}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> likely due to geometric variation in strain distribution effects from process-induced strain engineering. These results demonstrate that by accounting for device geometry, our process may achieve yield approaching 90% with consistent low switching voltage and high on/off ratio.
