Abstract We fabricate transistors from chemical vapor deposition-grown monolayer MoS2 crystals and demonstrate excellent current saturation at large drain voltages (V d). The low-field characteristics of these devices indicate that the electron mobility is likely limited by scattering from charged impurities. The current–voltage characteristics exhibit variable range hopping at low V d and evidence of velocity saturation at higher V d. This work confirms the excellent potential of MoS2 as a possible channel-replacement material and highlights the role of multiple transport phenomena in governing its transistor action.
