Atomically thin molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is a promising two-dimensional semiconductor for high-performance flexible electronics, sensors, transducers, and energy conversion. Here, piezoresistive strain sensing with flexible MoS2 field-effect transistors (FETs) made from highly uniform large-area films is demonstrated. The origin of the piezoresistivity in MoS2 is the strain-induced band gap change, which is confirmed by optical reflection spectroscopy. In addition, the sensitivity to strain can be tuned by more than 1 order of magnitude by adjusting the Fermi level via gate biasing.
