CVD Growth Technologies of Layered MX<sub>2</sub> Materials for Real LSI Applications—Position and Growth Direction Control and Gas Source Synthesis
Abstract
Position and growth direction control in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of WS2 and SnS2 by using patterned Si/SiO2 substrates has been demonstrated. It was found that step edges effectively worked as crystal nuclei and lateral crystal growth from the edges with a certain level of growth directionality was observed. Gas source CVD using industrially friendly precursors (WF6, SnCl4, and H2S) has also been developed and WS2 and SnS2 synthesis with wafer-scale uniformity have been obtained.
