Synthesis of Wafer-Scale WSe2 by WOx Selenization on SiO2 / Si Substrates

Abstract

Scalable synthesis of thin tungsten diselenide (WSe2) films on 4-inch silicon substrate with 80 nm silicon dioxide (SiO2) is demonstrated. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) reveals good control of WSe2 layers. Raman spectroscopy confirms high quality crystal of WSe2 is achieved. Back-gated field-effect transistors (FETs) fabricated on these thin films exhibit p-channel characteristics with a good on/off current ratio larger than 1.2 x 10(2).
