Abstract
The integration of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) layers on nanostructures has attracted growing attention as a means to improve the physical properties of the ultrathin TMDC materials. In this work, the influence of SiO2 nanopillars (NPs) with a height of 50 nm on the optical characteristics of MoS2 layers is investigated. Using a metal organic chemical vapor deposition technique, a few layers of MoS2 were conformally grown on the NP-patterned SiO2/Si substrates without notable strain. The photoluminescence and Raman intensities of the MoS2 layers on the SiO2 NPs were larger than those observed from a flat SiO2 surface. For 100 nm-SiO2/Si wafers, the 50 nm-NP patterning enabled improved absorption in the MoS2 layers over the whole visible wavelength range. Optical simulations showed that a strong electric-field could be formed at the NP surface, which led to the enhanced absorption in the MoS2 layers. These results suggest a versatile strategy to realize high-efficiency TMDC-based optoelectronic devices.
