In search of high-performance field-effect transistors (FETs) made atomic thin semiconductors, indium selenide (InSe) has held great promise because its high intrinsic mobility and moderate electronic band gap (1.26 eV). Yet the performance InSe FETs is decisively determined by surface oxidation taking place spontaneously in ambient conditions, setting up a ceiling causing an uncontrollable current hysteresis. Encapsulation hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) been currently used to cope with this...
