Enhancement of Thermal Boundary Conductance between MoS2 and Dielectric Layer by Self‐Assembled Monolayers by Jian Huang, Xiaotong Yu, Xiaofeng Wang, Fanfan Wang, Zexin Liu, Kai Yang, Yue Yue, Kangyong Li, Ruiwen Dai, Aming Lin, Yiyang Sun, Tianlong Zhao, Zhiqiang Wang, Yuan Gao, Lifu Zhang, Dongdong Chen, Guoqing Xin

“…More importantly, the interfacial bonding force is strengthened by the formation of chemical covalent N‐Mo bonds between NH2‐terminated SAM and MoS2, thus leading to a 118% TBC improvement between MoS2 and NH2‐terminated SiO2 compared to pristine SiO2 substrate. Simultaneously, the current reduction caused by self‐heating effect in the monolayer MoS2 field‐effect transistor is eliminated and the maximum power density of the device is largely improved. …”
