Molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂), which is one of the representative transition metal dichalcogenides, can be made as an atomically thin layer while preserving its semiconducting characteristics. We fabricated single-, bi-, and multilayer MoS₂ field-effect transistor (FET) by the mechanical exfoliation method and studied the effect of deep ultraviolet (DUV) light illumination. The thickness of the MoS₂ layers was determined using an optical microscope and further confirmed by Raman spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. The MoS₂ FETs with different number of layers were assessed for DUV-sensitive performances in various environments. The photocurrent response to DUV light becomes larger with increasing numbers of MoS₂ layers and is significantly enhanced in N₂ gas environment compared with that in atmospheric environment.
