The most promising synthesis method to date, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), suffers from issues such ... further emphasizing the urgent need for a novel TMD synthesis method.

Researchers introduce the hypotaxy technique for growth of wafer-scale single-crystal 2D semiconductors, overcoming the limitations of existing processes.

"In the future, it could also encourage more research towards growth of doped 2D TMD large area films by advanced growth methods such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and metalorganic chemical ...

The research team successfully produced a 4-inch TMD thin film using this method ... According to the research team, Hypotaxy forms a CVD single crystal structure that is more uniform and cleaner ...
