- *Abstract
-
Transitionmetal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are atomically-thin semiconductors with promisingproperties to enable flexible electronics, display technology, orphotovoltaics. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)and tungsten disulfide (WS2) are two types of TMDs that haverecently emerged as ideal material platforms for ultrathin circuitry thanks totheir chemical and physical stability and high electrical carrier mobility.
The fullrealization of these exciting potentials requires a large scale growth methodfor producing high quality, continuous monolayer TMD films with uniformstructural and electrical properties. Most growth methods previously reported,however, have demonstrated only limited structural uniformity.
Thisinvention is directed to a process for the 4-inch wafer-scale growth ofcontinuous monolayer TMD films using metal-organic chemical vapor deposition.The resulting monolayer films show excellent structural and electricaluniformity over the whole wafer, with very high electron mobility at roomtemperature, regardless of the channel length and device location. These films enablethe batch fabrication of monolayer TMD field effect transistors (e.g., from MoS2)with a high 99% yield, which display spatially-uniform n-type transistoroperation with a high on/off ratio. Furthermore, the multi-level growth and fabricationof vertically-stacked monolayer MoS2 films and devices has beensuccessfully demonstrated, which could enable the development of novelthree-dimensional circuitry.
