Phosphorene Surface
• Highly puckered structure allowing permanent out-‐of-‐plane dipole moment • Hydrophilic surface reacJve with O2 and H2O especially when lit • Surface roughens with water droplets in air within hours

Top Gate vs. Back Gate
H. Liu et al (2014) High-‐Resis)vity Si
• High-‐resisJvity substrate to reduce parasiJc capacitance • High-‐k gate insulator to reduce Coulomb scaYering

Phosphorene Surface Passivation
• PassivaJon appears adequate for environmental protecJon • Need to reduce interface state density and defect scaYering
