The large-area growth of 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) requires a precise control of metal and chalcogen precursors. Here, the authors implement a strategy using active chalcogen monomer supply to grow monolayer TMDs and their alloys, showing low defect density and improved optoelectronic properties.
