      Title

      Wafer-scale 2D semiconductors for flexible inkjet-printed electronics

      Keywords

      Two-Dimensional Semiconductors, Chemical Vapor Deposition, Integration, Transistors

      Overview

      The advancement of smart society heavily depends on the use of flexible and wearable electronic devices. Among various semiconductor materials, two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) (MX2, M=Mo, W; X=S, Se, Te) offer great promise. These TMDs possess atomic thinness, mechanical flexibility, durability, excellent electrical and optical properties, as well as chemical stability, making them superior to rigid 3D semiconductors. Consequently, it is crucial to develop innovative techniques for growing 2D TMD films and integrating them into flexible devices. To address this need, we have successfully developed a straightforward and replicable chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method for synthesizing 2D TMDs with large dimensions and exceptional electrical and optical qualities.

      Novelty and originality

      • Wafer-scale and patterned 2D TMDs are grown using an innovative CVD technique that utilizes molten salts as precursors.
      • Effective n-type and p-type doping of 2D TMDs is accomplished by employing mixed molten-salt precursors.
      • High-efficiency and cost-effective integration of 2D TMD-based thin-film transistors (TFTs) with inkjet printing technique.

      The photographs showcase a 2-inch wafer-scale MoS2 film, inkjet-printed TFTs on sapphire substrates, and flexible MoS2-based TFTs on a polyimide film. Further endeavors will be dedicated to the exploration of 2D TMD-based electronic devices, aimed at sensing and detecting various physical and chemical signals. These efforts will play a crucial role in advancing the development of 2D TMD-based flexible and wearable devices.

      Summary

      Molten-salt CVD technique is employed to synthesize wafer-scale and patterned 2D TMDs. These remarkable materials exhibit excellent mobility and display a high current on/off ratio when utilized as channel components in TFTs. In the future, considerable focus will be directed towards integrating 2D TMDs into flexible and wearable sensors and detectors using the inkjet printing technique.
