Outline of Research at the Start

In this project, we will focus on the growth of 2-inch wafer-scale TMD single crystals to eliminate the non-uniformity caused by the grain boundaries.A new synthetic strategy (vapor-liquid-solid growth) using non-volatile precursors will be employed. Based on this principal, we will develop a new growth system for CVD of wafer-scale TMD single crystals. A systematic methodology including SHG and STEM will be utilized to evaluate the uniformity and crystallinity of the TMD single crystals. Finally, we will utilize the wafer-scale TMD single crystals for high-performance, flexible transistors.

Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this project, the applicant has advanced the controllable synthesis of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) and their applications in high-performance field effect transistors (FETs). First, the applicant had developed the Salt 2.0 technique to synthesis many 2D TMDCs using a group of molten salts, e.g., Na2MoO4, Na2WO4, NaReO4, NaVO3, etc. With the Salt 2.0 technique, 2-inch wafer-scale MoS2 films, patterned MoS2 arrays, rhenium (Re)- and vanadium (V)-doped 2D TMDCs were successfully synthesized. For the MoS2-FETs, a high average electron mobility up to 30 cm2V-1s-1 and high current on/off ratio up to 10e8 were achieved with a good uniformity on the whole wafer. The Re (electron donor)- and V (electron acceptor)-doped TMDCs have shown tunable electrical properties from intrinsic semiconductors to metals. The heavily doped metallic TMDCs show great potential as low-resistance contacts and interconnects for future 2D TMDC-based electronics.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

We had achieved the synthesis of wafer-scale and patterned 2D TMDC films, Re- and V-doped TMDCs using the Salt 2.0 technique. As a supplement to the current 3D silicon electronics, the as-grown high-quality 2D TMDCs pave the way for high-performance flexible and wearable electronics and sensors.
