Abstract:High-performance WSe$_{2}$ complementary transistors are demonstrated on an individual flake by ozone exposure, which relies on the charge transfer mechanism. This technology is readily feasible for modulating the conductivity type in WSe$_{2}$, and the p–n junction presents a high on-off ratio of 10$^{4}$. Based on robust p-type transistors and matched output current of n-type WSe$_{2}$ transistors, the complementary inverter achieves a high voltage gain of 19.9. Therefore, this strategy may provide an avenue for development of high-performance complementary electronics.
