Method for uniform growth of bi-layer transition metal dichalcogenide continuous films

Abstract

A large-area, uniform, and continuous films of bi-layer transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) and preparation method comprises that the bi-layer TMDC continuous films are grown on a substrate through the merging of bi-layer domains; the top and bottom layers of the bi-layer domains have equal size and grow synchronously, which guarantees uniformity of the bi-layer films; the bi-layer domains were nucleated at the surface steps of the substrate which require a height no less than 0.8 nm; the bi-layer TMDCs films include molybdenum disulfide, tungsten disulfide, molybdenum diselenide, and tungsten diselenide, and the size of the bi-layer TMDC films reaches centimeter-level and above, limited only by the substrate size.
