Abstract
Barrier-free metal-semiconductor interfaces are crucial to improve the performance of 2D electronic devices. Here, the authors report a strategy to induce local bonding distortion in 2D transition metal dichalcogenides via soft oxygen plasma treatments, leading to reduced contact resistance and improved transport properties.
