Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the effect of synthesis temperature on the lateral growth of MoS2 thin films in chemical vapor deposition. With increasing temperature, surface coverage with MoS2 triangular islands is significantly improved due to an increase in the density of nuclei and fully continuous MoS2 thin film is grown when the growth temperature reached 800 °C. The MoS2 triangular islands grown at the temperature from 650 to 750 °C are monolayer and highly crystalline, whereas the large-area continuous film grown at the temperature of 800 °C is composed of double-layer or overlapping MoS2 nanosheets. Our research provides that synthesis temperature is the key to growth large area and high quality single crystal MoS2 films.
