CVD Synthesis of High-quality Continuous Fe-Doped WSe2 Using a Solution-Based Precursor
摘要
Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are promising semiconductors due to their atomic thickness, excellent electrical properties, and tunable bandgaps. While chemical vapor deposition (CVD) enables high-quality TMDC growth, conventional gas-phase methods face limitations in precursor utilization and cost. Here, we demonstrate a scalable solution-based CVD method for monolayer WSe2 synthesis using an aqueous ammonium metatungstate and sodium cholate precursor. Growth temperature and hydrogen partial pressure were optimized to achieve high-crystallinity films, and large-area uniform monolayers were obtained by controlling precursor film thickness. Fe doping was realized by adding FeSO4 to the precursor, inducing a carrier polarity shift from ambipolar to n-type. This approach offers a versatile route for scalable synthesis and doping of TMDCs for electronic and optoelectronic applications.
