研究目的
Investigating the scalable synthesis and properties of atomically thin WSe2 for next-generation electronic and optoelectronic devices.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrates the scalable synthesis of large-area, mono, and few-layer WSe2 via MOCVD, with control over domain size, shape, and nucleation density. The process allows for the precise control of vapor-phase chemistry, essential for tuning the properties of WSe2 for electronic and optoelectronic applications. However, carbon contamination from the DMSe precursor is a limitation that needs addressing for further improvement.
研究不足
The MOCVD process using DMSe unavoidably introduces carbon contamination into WSe2, which may affect the material's electronic properties. Additionally, the scalability of the process and the control over defect density are areas for optimization.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) for the synthesis of WSe2, utilizing tungsten hexacarbonyl (W(CO)6) and dimethylselenium ((CH3)2Se) as precursors. The method allows for precise control over vapor-phase chemistry.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Sapphire, graphene, and amorphous boron nitride (aBN) substrates are used for WSe2 growth.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A vertical cold-wall induction-heated susceptor is used for synthesis. Characterization tools include Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Samples are heated to 500 °C at 80 °C/min and annealed for 15 minutes to drive off any water vapor, then heated to growth temperature (600–900 °C) at 80 °C/min. Growth occurs at total pressures from 100 to 700 Torr for 30 minutes.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Raman spectroscopy, AFM, and TEM are used for structural characterization. Electrical properties are measured using conductive AFM (CAFM) and current-voltage (Ids–Vds) measurements.
