This study reports a self-aligned process for fabrication of top gate structure in WSe2 pFET. Multiple deposition of TiOx nucleation layer combined with O2 radical exposure to form WOx for S/D contacts using gate stacks as a mask was applied to develop the self-aligned process. The annealing process after formation of TiOx as nucleation layer is important role in the top gate operation. On the other hand, top gate operation was not observed without annealing after formation of TiOx. This study opens up interesting directions for constructing TMDC-based CMOS integrated circuit.
