Large-Area Transfer of 2D TMDCs Assisted by a Water-Soluble Layer for Potential Device Applications.

ABSTRACT: Layer transfer offers enormous potential for the industrial implementation of two-dimensional (2D) material technology platforms. However, the transfer method used must retain the as-grown uniformity and cleanliness in the transferred films for the fabrication of 2D material-based devices. Additionally, the method used must be capable of large-area transfer to maintain wafer-scale fabrication standards. Here, a facile route to transfer centimeter-scale synthesized 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) (3L MoS₂, 1L WS₂) onto various substrates such as sapphire, SiO₂/Si, and flexible substrates (mica, polyimide) has been developed using a water-soluble layer (Na₂S/Na₂SO₄) underneath the as-grown film. The developed trans
