Chemical vapor deposition of monolayer-thin WS2 crystals from the WF6 and H2S precursors at low deposition temperature

Abstract: Monolayer-thin WS2 with (0002) texture grows by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) from gas-phase precursors WF6 and H2S at a deposition temperature of 450 °C on 300 mm Si wafers covered with an amorphous Al2O3 starting surface. We investigate the growth and nucleation mechanism during the CVD process by analyzing the morphology of the WS2 crystals. The CVD process consists of two distinct growth regimes. During (i) the initial growth regime, a fast and self-limiting reaction of the CVD precursors with the Al2O3 … Show more

“…Tungsten halide precursors have also been widely investigated [26,29,[36][37][38] due to their relatively low decomposition temperatures and the absence of hydrocarbon reaction products which could incorporate as impurities. In this paper, we describe investigations of the growth of WS 2 on c-plane sapphire using the metal halide WCl 6 as the tungsten source in a cold-wall CVD reactor.…”
