Site-Specific Synthesis of 2D TMDs for High-Performance Nanoelectronic Devices
A lithographically defined, transfer-free CVD process enables site-specific growth of MoS₂ directly on CMOS-compatible SiO₂/Si substrates using patterned MoO₃ as both precursor and high-k dielectric. The approach delivers tunable crystallinity, improved interface quality, and enhanced FET performance while eliminating post-growth transfer and etching...
