研究目的
Investigating the initial formation of a buffer layer during atomic layer deposition of MoS2 on SiO2 (001) surface and proposing alternative ALD chemistries to facilitate the formation of free standing MoS2 nanolayers.
研究成果
The DFT calculations demonstrated that traditional ALD chemistries lead to the formation of a buffer layer with suboptimal opto-electrical properties. Alternative ALD chemistries were proposed to facilitate the formation of free standing MoS2 nanolayers by underpinning Mo atoms with S atoms, thereby preserving the semiconducting behavior of MoS2. These findings suggest potential strategies for improving the quality of 2D material deposition in nanodevices.
研究不足
The study is based on theoretical calculations and models, which may not fully capture the complexities of actual experimental conditions. The proposed chemistries for ALD require experimental validation to confirm their effectiveness in facilitating the formation of free standing MoS2 nanolayers.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed to investigate the initial formation of a buffer layer during atomic layer deposition (ALD) of MoS2 on SiO2 (001) surface. The study focused on the self-limiting ALD reactions using Mo(NMe2)2(NtBu)2 as precursor and H2S as co-reagent.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The study utilized a computational model of the SiO2 (001) surface and MoS2 layers. The electronic band structure of the deposited layers was analyzed to assess their opto-electrical properties.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Computational tools and software (VASP) for DFT calculations were used. The study did not involve physical experiments but relied on theoretical models.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The study involved geometry optimization, reaction energies, and electronic band structure calculations using DFT. The methodology included the use of the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and the functional of Perdew, Burke, and Ernzerhof (PBE).
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The electronic band structure of the deposited layers was analyzed to evaluate the impact of S vacancies on the opto-electrical properties. The study also proposed alternative ALD chemistries to improve the quality of the deposited MoS2 layers.
