Engineering Wafer-Scale Epitaxial Two-Dimensional Materials through Sapphire Template Screening for Advanced High-Performance Nanoelectronics KU Leuven
In view of its epitaxial seeding capability, c-plane single crystalline sapphire represents one of the most enticing, industry-compatible templates to realize manufacturable deposition of single crystalline two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (MX2) for functional, ultrascaled, nanoelectronic devices beyond silicon. Despite sapphire being atomically flat, the surface topography, structure, and chemical termination vary between ...
