Özet
Large area growth of few-layer transitional-metal dichalcogenide thin films using a solution-based process are being considered as potentially scalable thin-film processing for future nanoelectronics. A wafer-scale growth of two-dimensional tungsten disulfide (WS2) films with consistent uniformity still remains a challenge in all types of growth methods. Specifically, the synthesis of WS2 using a solution-based approach has been a difficult task due to the complex surface chemistry involved. In the current study, we report on the wafer-scale synthesis of uniform WS2 using a spin-coat process. Previously, a solvent of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid in DMSO with ammonium tetrathiomolybdate ((NH4)(2)MoS4), and a thermolysis step were used to achieve uniform wafer-scale growth of few-layer MoS2 films. Here, we present a study of three different chelating agents using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as a solvent to demonstrate the chelant's critical role in growing uniform dichalcogenide films. Of these three chelating agents, glycine consistently produced wafer-scale growth.
