• Abstract Trap states of the semiconductor/gate dielectric interface give rise to a pronounced subthreshold behavior in field‐effect transistors (FETs) diminishing and masking intrinsic properties of 2D materials. To reduce the well‐known detrimental effect of SiO 2 surface traps, this work spin‐coated an ultrathin (≈5 nm) cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) layer onto the oxide and this hydrophobic layer acts as a surface passivator. The chemical resistance of COC allows to fabricate monolayer MoS 2 FETs on SiO 2 by standard cleanroom processes. This way, the interface trap density is lowered and stabilized almost fivefold, to around 5 × 10 11 cm −2 eV −1 , which enables low‐voltage FETs even on 300 nm thick SiO 2 . In addition to this superior electrical performance, the photoresponsivity of the MoS 2 devices on passivated oxide is also enhanced by four orders of magnitude compared to nonpassivated MoS 2 FETs. Under these conditions, negative photoconductivity and a photoresponsivity of 3 × 10 7 A W −1 is observed which is a new highest value for MoS 2 . These findings indicate that the ultrathin COC passivation of the gate dielectric enables to probe exciting properties of the atomically thin 2D semiconductor, rather than interface trap dominated effects.
