| contents | Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, such as the transition metal dichalcogenides, have demonstrated tremendous promise for the development of highly tunable quantum devices. Realizing this potential requires low-resistance electrical contacts that perform well at low temperatures and low densities where quantum properties are relevant. Here we present a new device architecture for 2D semiconductors that utilizes a charge-transfer layer to achieve large hole doping in the contact region, and implement this technique to measure magneto-transport properties of high-purity monolayer WSe$_2$. We measure a record-high hole mobility of 80,000 cm$^2$/Vs and access channel carrier densities as low as $1.6\times10^{11}$ cm$^{-2}$, an order of magnitude lower than previously achievable. Our ability to realize transparent contact to high-mobility devices at low density enables transport measurement of correlation-driven quantum phases including observation of a low temperature metal-insulator transition in a density and temperature regime where Wigner crystal formation is expected, and observation of the fractional quantum Hall effect under large magnetic fields. The charge transfer contact scheme paves the way for discovery and manipulation of new quantum phenomena in 2D semiconductors and their heterostructures. |
