Machine-learning-empowered identification of initial growth modes for 2D transition metal dichalcogenide thin films

In situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) is a powerful technique for monitoring surface states and offers invaluable insights into thin film growth. However, extracting hidden features and subtle changes from its vast data remains as a challenge. This work bridges the gap by employing machine learning (ML)-empowered RHEED analysis to elucidate the growth dynamics of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) thin films grown under two distinct growth modes. Principal component analysis (PCA) and its modified processes were used to separate contributions of the graphene substrate and the MoSe2 film in the RHEED video. The ML-empowered RHEED analysis allowed us to effectively filter out the strong substrate signal and reconstructing RHEED videos solely for the MoSe2 films. This approach enabled detailed monitoring of film growth with unique features, and clearly distinguishing between the layer-by-layer growth mode and the island one. This work demonstrates the potentials of ML-empowered RHEED analysis for revealing complex growth dynamics of 2D TMDC materials, paving the way for advanced thin film monitoring and autonomous control in wider scope of thin film technologies.

Independent enhancement of the in-plane Seebeck effect in 2D PtSe2/PtSe2 homostructures via a facile interface tuning method

Atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) films have emerged as promising semiconducting materials for use in thermoelectric (TE) applications. However, the utilization of such materials remains challenging owing to the relatively high intrinsic resistance as the size of the TMDC thin films increases to the centimeter scale. These 2D TMDC films can also form vertically stacked homo- or heterostructures at large interfaces with other 2D TMDC films, resulting in unique TE properties at room temperature. This article reports on the in-plane TE properties when the interfaces formed within a PtSe2/PtSe2 (3 nm/3 nm) homostructure are modulated as a function of O2 plasma treatment time. The results show enhanced Seebeck coefficients compared with that of the single-layer PtSe2 with the same thickness. The independent enhancement in the Seebeck coefficient while keeping the electrical conductivity leads to a substantial increase in the power factor. Such extra Seebeck voltage in 2D PtSe2/PtSe2 homostructures is mainly as a result of momentum exchange by charge carriers caused by the temperature gradient in the vertical direction, which occurs in-plane Seebeck coefficient measurements, at the interface between the PtSe2 layers in the in-plane temperature gradient along the samples. These results resemble the characteristics of the phonon drag effect at low temperatures, which can independently increase the Seebeck coefficient at room temperature.

Ultraclean Interface of Metal Chalcogenides with Metal through Confined Interfacial Chalcogenization.

Acquisition of defect-free transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) channels with clean heterojunctions is a critical issue in the production of TMD-based functional electronic devices. Conventional approaches have transferred TMD onto a target substrate, and then apply the typical device fabrication processes. Unfortunately, those processes cause physical and chemical defects in the TMD channels. Here, a novel synthetic process of TMD thin films, named confined interfacial chalcogenization (CIC) is proposed. In the proposed synthesis, a uniform TMDlayer is created at the Au/transition metal (TM) interface by diffusion of chalcogen through the upperAu layer and the reaction of chalcogen with the underlying TM. CIC allows for ultraclean heterojunctions with the metals, synthesis of various homo- and hetero-structured TMDs, and in situ TMD channel formation in the last stage of device fabrication. The mechanism of TMD growth is revealed by the TM-accelerated chalcogen diffusion, epitaxial growth of TMD on Au(111). We demonstrated a wafer-scale TMD-based vertical memristors which exhibit excellent statistical concordance in device performance enabled by the ultraclean heterojunctions and superior uniformity in thickness. CIC proposed in this study represents a breakthrough in in TMD-based electronic device fabrication and marking a substantial step toward practical next-generation integrated electronics.

All-Solution-Processed High-Performance MoS2 Thin-Film Transistors with a Quasi-2D Perovskite Oxide Dielectric.

Assembling solution-processed van der Waals (vdW) materials into thin films holds great promise for constructing large-scale, high-performance thin-film electronics, especially at low temperatures. While transition metal dichalcogenide thin films assembled in solution have shown potential as channel materials, fully solution-processed vdW electronics have not been achieved due to the absence of suitable dielectric materials and high-temperature processing. In this work, we report on all-solution-processedvdW thin-film transistors (TFTs) comprising molybdenum disulfides (MoS2) as the channel and Dion-Jacobson-phase perovskite oxides as the high-permittivity dielectric. The constituent layers are prepared as colloidal solutions through electrochemical exfoliation of bulk crystals, followed by sequential assembly into a semiconductor/dielectric heterostructure for TFT construction. Notably, all fabrication processes are carried out at temperatures below 250 °C. The fabricated MoS2 TFTs exhibit excellent device characteristics, including high mobility (>10 cm2 V-1 s-1) and an on/off ratio exceeding 106. Additionally, the use of a high-k dielectric allows for operation at low voltage (∼5 V) and leakage current (∼10-11 A), enabling low power consumption. Our demonstration of the low-temperature fabrication of high-performance TFTs presents a cost-effective and scalable approach for heterointegrated thin-film electronics.

Femtosecond laser thinning for resistivity control of tungsten ditelluride thin-films synthesized from sol-gel deposited tungsten oxide

In this work we present a route for fabricating WTe2 thin-films together with femtosecond laser post processing, enabling to finely control the conductivity. First, we produce amorphous films of WO3 on Si by spin-coating a sol-gel precursor followed by a consolidating annealing and a reduction process in partial H2 atmosphere, leading to porous metallic tungsten cluster layers. To achieve WTe2, the films were exposed to the chalcogen vapours by isothermal closed space vapor transport. The formation of a tungsten ditelluride film composed of piled crystals could be confirmed and a gradient of surface rich Te identified through hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Finally, it is demonstrated that resistivity can be changed from 0.2 mΩ.m to 1 mΩ.m, while keeping the material characteristics. An anisotropic conductivity can be induced by direct selective thinning with fs laser writing (350 fs pulse duration, 515 nm laser wavelength) of 1D stripes. The obtained results, demonstrate that laser processing is a promising thin-film post-processing technique that can be applied to 2D transition metal dichalcogenide thin films.

Potential of Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Transistors for Flexible Electronics Applications

AbstractSemiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) are 2D materials, combining good charge carrier mobility, ultimate dimension down‐scalability, and low‐temperature integration. These properties make TMDCs interesting for flexible electronics, where the thermal fabrication budget is strongly substrate limited. In this perspective, an overview of the state of TMDC research is provided by evaluating two scenarios, both with their own merit depending on the target application. First, high‐quality chemically grown 2D TMDCs are promising for nanoscale high‐performance and high‐frequency devices with excellent gate control and high current on/off ratios. Second, TMDC thin films can also be solution deposited from chemically exfoliated flakes allowing for moderate performance, but providing a path toward low‐cost production. A strong advantage of TMDCs is the possibility to realize p‐type and n‐type channels for complementary transistors having similar performance figures‐of‐merit. This aspect, as well as common transistor performance metrics are also compared with other flexible channel materials providing an overview of the state of the art of thin‐film transistors in the field of flexible electronics.

Electronic and Optoelectronic Monolayer WSe2 Devices via Transfer-Free Fabrication Method.

Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have drawn significant attention for their potential applications in electronics and optoelectronics. To achieve consistent electronic properties and high device yield, uniform large monolayer crystals are crucial. In this report, we describe the growth of high-quality and uniform monolayer WSe2 film using chemical vapor deposition on polycrystalline Au substrates. This method allows for the fabrication of continuous large-area WSe2 film with large-size domains. Additionally, a novel transfer-free method is used to fabricate field-effect transistors (FETs) based on the as-grown WSe2. The exceptional metal/semiconductor interfaces achieved through this fabrication method result in monolayer WSe2 FETs with extraordinary electrical performance comparable to those with thermal deposition electrodes, with a high mobility of up to ≈62.95 cm2 V-1 s-1 at room temperature. In addition, the as-fabricated transfer-free devices can maintain their original performance after weeks without obvious device decay. The transfer-free WSe2-based photodetectors exhibit prominent photoresponse with a high photoresponsivity of ~1.7 × 104 A W-1 at Vds = 1 V and Vg = -60 V and a maximum detectivity value of ~1.2 × 1013 Jones. Our study presents a robust pathway for the growth of high-quality monolayer TMDs thin films and large-scale device fabrication.

Transition metal dichalcogenide thin films for solar hydrogen production

In the last three decades, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have been extensively studied for electronic, photonic, and energy applications. Different efforts are directed to find a holy grail of efficient and economically feasible materials that could be simple in production and available on a large scale. The interest in TMDs (MoS2, WS2, MoSe2, WSe2) stems from their suitable electronic structure for efficient solar light absorption and simple exfoliation technique of 2D crystallites due to the van der Waals bonding of these materials. This led to various designs and combinations of 2D single layers that could form heterojunctions and multijunctions for efficient light absorption, charge carrier generation/separation, and its transfer in optoelectronic and energy harvesting devices. Herein, TMD thin films are reviewed as photoelectrodes for solar hydrogen evolution and compared to that of other more developed materials.

Optimization of growth parameters to obtain epitaxial large area growth of molybdenum disulfide using pulsed laser deposition

2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are promising materials for device applications owing to their electronic, optical, and material properties varying with the number of monolayers. Synthesis of large area crystalline TMDC thin films is still challenging with techniques such as exfoliation and chemical vapor growth owing to the uncontrollability of deposition area and high temperature growths with toxic precursors, respectively. Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is a technique that can overcome these challenges owing to stoichiometric layer by layer growth control by optimizing the growth parameters. In this study, we optimize parameters such as temperature, post-growth annealing, inert gas pressure, and substrate–target distance during PLD growth of MoS2 to obtain uniform and highly crystalline thin films on an ∼1 in.2 substrate. The optimized growth conditions are 800 °C with a 30 min post-growth annealing at a laser fluence of 2.2 J/cm2 with a substrate–target distance of 5 cm and 0.5 mTorr of argon partial pressure. An RMS roughness of 0.17 nm was obtained for 3 nm (4 monolayers) thick MoS2 films with a thin film conductivity of ∼4000 S/m.

Thin film transition metal dichalcogenide photoelectrodes for solar hydrogen evolution: a review

The efficiencies of transition metal dichalcogenide thin films and single crystals (MoS2, WS2, MoSe2, WSe2) are evaluated for photoelectrochemical hydrogen evolution.

Self-Limiting Opto-Electrochemical Thinning of Transition-Metal Dichalcogenides.

Two-dimensional monolayer and few-layer transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are promising for advanced electronic and photonic applications due to their extraordinary optoelectronic and mechanical properties. However, it has remained challenging to produce high-quality TMD thin films with controlled thickness and desired micropatterns, which are essential for their practical implementation in functional devices. In this work, a self-limiting opto-electrochemical thinning (sOET) technique is developed for on-demand thinning and patterning of TMD flakes at high efficiency. Benefiting from optically enhanced electrochemical reactions, sOET features a low operational optical power density of down to 70 μW μm-2 to avoid photodamage and thermal damage to the thinned TMD flakes. Through selective optical excitation with different laser wavelengths based on the thickness-dependent band gaps of TMD materials, sOET enables precise control over the final thickness of TMD flakes. With the capability of thickness control and site-specific patterning, our sOET offers an effective route to fabricating high-quality TMD materials for a broad range of applications in nanoelectronics, nanomechanics, and nanophotonics.

Γ valley transition metal dichalcogenide moiré bands

The valence band maxima of most group VI transition metal dichalcogenide thin films remain at the Γ point all of the way from bulk to bilayer. In this paper, we develop a continuum theory of the moiré minibands that are formed in the valence bands of Γ-valley homobilayers by a small relative twist. Our effective theory is benchmarked against large-scale ab initio electronic structure calculations that account for lattice relaxation. As a consequence of an emergent [Formula: see text] symmetry, we find that low-energy Γ-valley moiré holes differ qualitatively from their K-valley counterparts addressed previously; in energetic order, the first three bands realize 1) a single-orbital model on a honeycomb lattice, 2) a two-orbital model on a honeycomb lattice, and 3) a single-orbital model on a kagome lattice.

ALD-Based Synthesis of Wafer-Scale Transition Metal Dichalcogenides Towards Nanoelectronics and Optoelectronics Applications

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), such as MoS2 and WS2 have been widely studied due to their unique physical and electronic properties even at one atomic layer thickness. Since the first report on the MoS2 field-effect transistor (FET) device [1], great efforts have been made in the past decade to extend the intriguing features of TMDs to practical applications. However, such integration has been severely bottlenecked by the lack of effective approaches to achieve wafer-scale, uniform, crystalline and stoichiometric TMD films.Till now, it is still prevalent to fabricate TMD-based electronic devices using mechanical exfoliation methods. Although single-crystal flakes with least defects can be obtained, the size, thickness and location of the exfoliated TMD flakes are largely uncontrollable, making it unsuitable for large-scale device integration and massive production. So far, various synthetic approaches have been proposed to grow large-area TMD thin films. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-based method is one of the major routines to synthesize high-quality monolayer and few-layer TMD flakes [2-4]. For example, in typical CVD processes to grow MoS2, the films can be achieved either by the reduction reaction between the S and MoO3 source powders or by sulfurizing the Mo (or MoOx) films pre-deposited by using physical vapor deposition. However, the nucleation sites in the CVD process are uncontrollable which may lead to the vertical stacking of the MoS2 flakes in triangle shape deteriorating the crystalline properties of the film. On the other hand, the pre-deposited Mo or MoOx film by using e-beam evaporation or sputtering usually suffer from rough surface morphology and unsatisfactory film uniformity which further limit the homogeneity of the large-scale film and device integration.Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a surface-controlled film fabrication and can provide a possible route towards the synthesis of TMD thin films since the ALD approach follows the layer-by-layer deposition mechanism [5,6]. As compared to the conventional CVD method, ALD can enable precise thickness control on atomic scale and excellent film uniformity as well as good stoichiometry and crystallinity with proper annealing steps. In this work, we employed the ALD-based synthesis method to grow wafer-scale MoS2 and WS2 thin films. Non-toxic MoCl5, WCl5 and hexamethyldisilathiane (HMDST) precursors have been used which are different and superior to those used in previous work. Film characterizations have confirmed the wafer-level uniformity, crystallinity and stoichiometry of the synthesized films. Homogeneous electrical behaviors have also been obtained from the fabricated FET device arrays. In addition, optoelectronic devices such as photodetectors and simple logic gates such as n-type inverter arrays have been demonstrated using the wafer-scale MoS2 FET arrays. Furthermore, we have used the substitutional doping in the ALD process to achieve controllable p-type doping of MoS2 films, which can provide solid basis for the complimentary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) integrated circuit applications. This work shows that the ALD-based synthesis of the 2D TMD thin films is an attractive approach and has provided a promising platform to further push forward the circuit and system level applications of the TMD materials.

Control of energy dissipation in sliding low-dimensional materials

Frictional forces acting during the relative motion of nanosurfaces are the cause of energy loss and wear which limit an efficient assembly and yield of atomic-scale devices. In this research, we investigate the microscopic origin of the dissipative processes as a result of the frictional response, with the aim to control them in a subtle way. We recast the study of friction in terms of phonon modes of the system at the equilibrium, with no need to resort to dynamics simulations. As a case study, we here consider layer sliding in transition metal dichalcogenides thin films. We find that the population of specific atomic orbitals and the relative contribution of the atomic type to selected system vibrations are the crucial quantities which determine the frictional response in tribological conditions. A reduced amount of energy dissipation is found when the bond character is more ionic and the layer sliding is realized by a faster motion of the chalcogen atoms. The individuated relevant parameters governing the energy dissipation can be used as descriptors in high-throughput calculations or machine learning engines to screen databases of frictional materials. The presented framework is general and can be promptly extended to the design of tribological materials with targeted frictional response, irrespective of the chemistry and atomic topology.

Characterizing transition-metal dichalcogenide thin-films using hyperspectral imaging and machine learning

Atomically thin polycrystalline transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are relevant to both fundamental science investigation and applications. TMD thin-films present uniquely difficult challenges to effective nanoscale crystalline characterization. Here we present a method to quickly characterize the nanocrystalline grain structure and texture of monolayer WS2 films using scanning nanobeam electron diffraction coupled with multivariate statistical analysis of the resulting data. Our analysis pipeline is highly generalizable and is a useful alternative to the time consuming, complex, and system-dependent methodology traditionally used to analyze spatially resolved electron diffraction measurements.

Visible range photoresponse of vertically oriented on-chip MoS2 and WS2 thin films

The excellent electrical properties of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) 2D materials promise a competitive alternative to traditional semiconductor materials for applications in optoelectronics, chemical sensing, as well as in energy harvesting and conversion. As the typical synthesis methods of TMDs produce nanoparticles, such as single or multi-layered nanoflakes, subsequent strenuous integration steps are necessary to obtain devices. Direct synthesis of the material on substrates would simplify the process and provide the means for large-scale integration and production of practical devices. In our approach, we synthesize MoS2 and WS2 thin films with a simple sulfurization of the respective metal films deposited by sputtering on Si/SiO2 chips, and study their optoelectrical properties at wavelengths of 661 nm, 552 nm, and 401 nm using pulsed lasers. Both TMD thin films are found to show photoresponsivities of up to ∼5 × 10−6 A W−1 with corresponding quantum efficiencies of ∼10−5, which are unexpectedly moderate, and can be attributed to their columnar microstructure, in which the basal planes of the hexagonal lattices are perpendicular to the substrate, thus, limiting the electron transport in the films parallel to the plane of the substrate.

(Invited) Vertical Integration through Direct Growth of Van Der Waals Materials

The integration of novel logic and memory devices, fabricated from van der Waals materials, into CMOS process flows with a goal of improving system-level Energy-Delay-Product (EDP) for data abundant applications will be discussed. Focusing on materials growth and integration techniques that utilize non-equilibrium, kinetically restricted strategies, coupled with in-situ characterization, enables the realization of atomic configurations and materials that are challenging to make but once attained, display enhanced and unique properties. These strategies become necessary for most future technologies where thermal budgets are constrained and conformal growth over selective areas and 3-dimensional structures are required.In this work, we demonstrate the high-quality MBE heterostructure growth of various layered materials by van der Waals epitaxy (VDWE). The coupling of different types of van der Waals materials including transition metal dichalcogenide thin films (e.g., WSe2, WTe2, HfSe2), helical Te thin films, and topological insulators (e.g., Bi2Se3) allows for the fabrication of novel electronic devices that take advantage of unique quantum confinement and spin-based characteristics. We demonstrate how the van der Waals interactions allow for heteroepitaxy of significantly lattice-mismatched materials without strain or misfit dislocations. Yet, at the same time, the VDW interactions are strong enough to cause rotational alignment between the epi-layer and the substrate, which plays a key role in the formation of grain boundaries. We will discuss TMDs, Te, and TIs grown on atomic layer deposited (ALD) high-k oxides on a Si platform as well as flexible substrates and demonstrate field-effect transistors with back-end-of-line compatible fabrication temperatures (<450 °C).As an example, the room temperature I-V curves of WSe2 FETs grown by MBE on ALD-grown amorphous Al2O3 indicate strong ambipolar conduction with electron and hole ON currents reaching ~25 and 15 µA/µm, respectively and ON/OFF ratios exceeding 104. Hole mobilities of ~50 cm2/V-s are achieved. The subthreshold swing in the hole branch is ~230 mV/dec over three decades of ID , suggesting an immobile charge density of ~8 x 1012 cm-2. Esaki tunnel junctions in WSe2 FETs are also demonstrated with 40 nm channel length. A back-gate is employed which makes the negative differential resistance (NDR) gate-tunable at temperatures up to 140 K and a maximum peak-to-valley current ratio (PVCR) of 3.5 at T = 110 K. When compared to previous reports for WSe2, the fabricated Esaki junctions provide increased PVCRs, from ~2 to 3.5, 100x higher peak currents, from ~pA/µm to ~nA/µm levels, and a significant reduction in the peak voltage, VP , from 1.5 to 0.2 V, as should be expected for tunnel diodes.High performance transistors made from helical Te with field-effect mobilities as high as 700 cm2/V-s have also been demonstrated. These devices are fabricated from Te needle-like structures directly grown on thermal SiO2 on a back-gated structure at 120 °C. The achievement of high-mobility transistor channels at BEOL compatible processing temperatures shows the potential for integrating van der Waals materials into CMOS process flows.In summary, we have demonstrated the growth of a variety of van der Waals materials directly grown even on amorphous oxides at BEOL compatible temperatures. Using novel techniques to improve the crystal quality at these low temperatures has enabled the demonstration of devices that can be intergrated above high-performance circuits and metal levels. TFTs and tunnel devices in particular have been demonstrated with outstanding performance suggesting a path forward for heterogeneous integration and improved systems level performance.This work is supported in part by NEWLIMITS, a center in nCORE, a Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC) program sponsored by NIST through award number 70NANB17H041.

Lanthanide near-infrared emission and energy transfer in layered WS2/MoS2 heterostructure

Lanthanide ions have attracted great attention due to their distinct photonic properties. The optoelectronic properties and device performance are greatly affected by the interfacial coupling between the layered van der Waals heterostructure, fabricated with two or more transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) layers. In this work, lanthanide-doped WS2/MoS2 layered heterostructures have been constructed through two synthesis steps. The doped thin films are highly textured nanosheets on wafers. Importantly, the as-prepared heterostructure exhibits efficient near-infrared emission in the range of the telecommunication window, owing to energy transfer between lanthanide ions in the two TMD layers. The use of the layered heterostructure allows the decrease of deleterious cross-relaxation due to homogeneous doping or concentration quenching. The energy transfer process was further elaborated in this work. The results suggest that lanthanide ions can effectively extend the emission band of TMD thin films and their heterostructures. The doped TMD heterostructure is highly favourable for constructing atomically thin near-infrared photonic devices.

High mobility solution processed MoS2 thin film transistors

A simple wet-chemical synthesis of layered MoS2 thin films on sapphire is reported. The gap in understanding solution processed MoS2 deposition needs to be closed to exploit all its excellent properties for low-cost applications. In this work, as deposited Mo-precursor thin films were prepared based on the solubility and coating properties of Molybdenum(V) chloride in 1-Methoxy-2-propanol. Subsequent annealing of the deposited amorphous Mo-precursor films in the presence of sulfur resulted in the formation of highly crystalline layered MoS2 films on sapphire. Improved crystallinity of the deposited films was achieved by increasing the process temperature and performing the post-annealing treatment. Post-annealing at temperatures above 900 °C increased the uniformity of multilayer films, together with the increase of MoS2 grain size. For charge transport analysis, top-gate top-contact thin film transistors (TFTs) based on these solution processed MoS2 films were fabricated. Ionic liquid gating of the TFT devices exhibited n-type semiconducting behaviour with field-effect mobility as high as 12.07 cm2/Vs and Ion/off ratio ∼ 106. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements revealed that the films annealed between 900 °C and 980 °C had an average chemical composition of S/Mo ∼ 1.84. This facile liquid phase synthesis method with centimeter-scale uniformity and controllable film thickness up to 1.2 ± 0.65 nm is suitable for low-cost preparation of other transition metal dichalcogenides thin films in next-generation electronics.

Ni-assisted crystallization of few-layer transition metal dichalcogenide ultra-thin films

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) semiconductors have received tremendous attention in various research fields in recent years. Different synthetic approaches to grow large-scale TMD thin films have been widely explored for effective device integration and circuit-level applications. However, the poor crystalline quality of most synthesized TMD films has seriously restricted their further implementation in high-performance nanoelectronic devices. Here, we demonstrated a Ni-assisted synthesis of TMD films based on atomic layer deposition. Two crystallization mechanisms have been studied: metal-induced crystallization and metal-induced lateral crystallization. The involvement Ni has significantly lowered the crystallization temperature in both cases and the crystallinity of TMD films has been greatly enhanced which is confirmed by Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy characterizations. Our results can pave the way for advanced applications of high-quality large-area synthetic TMDs and device integrations with low temperature processes.
