Etching-Free Transfer and Nanoimaging of CVD-Grown MoS2 Monolayers
Journal of Physical Chemistry C(2021)
摘要
The transfer of two-dimensional materials from grown substrates onto target substrates is critical for device applications and postgrown analysis. The traditional transfer method for as-grown two-dimensional materials requires a wet chemical etching process that damages the crystals and the substrates. These issues deteriorate the electrical and optical performances of two-dimensional-material-based devices fabricated afterward. Herein, we developed an etching-free method and nanoimaging for transferring and analyzing monolayers of MoS2 onto arbitrary substrates using polyurethane as a sacrifice polymer. The polymer layer and the MoS2 crystals can be peeled off from the substrate by tweezers and transferred to any substrate. We analyzed the transferred samples to a glass coverslip substrate with optical microscopy, atomic force microscopy, tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, and tip-enhanced photoluminesce spectroscopy. Also, we transferred monolayers of MoS2 to a transmission electron microscopy grid and acquired scanning electron microscopy together with high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy images. The results of nanoimaging indicate that the method preserved the sample’s optical and structural properties and avoid undesirable cracks, wrinkles, and polymer residues. The etching-free transfer method of as-grown two-dimensional materials will improve the quality of transferred samples enhance the devices’ performance.
