This work focuses on the effect of remote phonon arising from the substrate and high-κ gate dielectric on electron mobility in two-dimensional (2D) InSe field-effect transistors (FETs). The electrostatic characteristic under quantum confinement is derived by self-consistently solving the Poisson and Schrödinger equations using the effective mass approximation. Then mobility is calculated by the Kubo–Greenwood formula accounting for the remote phonon scattering (RPS) as well as the intrinsic phonon scatterings, including the acoustic phonon, homopolar phonon, optical phonon scatterings, and Fröhlich interaction. Using the above method, the mobility degradation due to remote phonon is comprehensively explored in single- and dual-gate InSe FETs utilizing SiO2, Al2O3, and HfO2 as gate dielectric respectively. We unveil the origin of temperature, inversion density, and thickness dependence of carrier mobility. Simulations indicate that remote phonon and Fröhlich interaction plays a comparatively major role in determining the electron transport in InSe. Mobility is more severely degraded by remote phonon of HfO2 dielectric than Al2O3 and SiO2 dielectric, which can be effectively insulated by introducing a SiO2 interfacial layer between the high-κ dielectric and InSe. Due to its smaller in-plane and quantization effective masses, mobility begins to increase at higher density as carriers become degenerate, and mobility degradation with a reduced layer number is much stronger in InSe compared with MoS2.
