Abstract

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) is a transition metal dichalcogenide, which along with graphene, has a great potential to become a material of choice for the next generation of nanoelectronics. We report the synthesis of a large-area MoS₂ obtained by sulfurization of MoO₃ using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) at different Ar base pressures. The optimal pressure for the growth was found to be ∼50 mbar (millibar). The evolution of MoS₂ phase as a function of Ar gas pressure was monitored by confocal Raman spectroscopy. As synthesized MoS₂ shows direct bandgap of 1.6 eV evaluated by UV–vis spectroscopy. We report for the first time the valence band spectra and the work function of MoS₂ on SiO₂/Si calculated by ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy, which was found to be 4.67 eV. In-situ electrical measurements demonstrated expected semiconducting behavior of the grown triangular crystals. These studies show MoS₂ crystallites growth by controlling the parameters in CVD process.
