  • We discover a method of synthesizing wafer-scale single-crystal (SC) hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) monolayer film. In contrary to traditional epitaxial growth, liquid gold substrate allows the self-collimation of circular hBN grains, eventually forming an SC hBN film on a wafer scale. SC hBN serves the growth template for SC-Graphene/hBN heterostructure and SC tungsten disulfide. This is the first…

In this work, we dope NbSe2 with W to make a lateral heterostructure with semiconducting WSe2 on the inside and metallic NbSe2 on the outside. The each point of doping level is characterized by STEM (Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy) and well correlated with optical (Raman, Photoluminesc…

Abstract

We present a novel metal–insulator–semiconductor (MIS) diode consisting of graphene, hexagonal BN, and monolayer MoS2 for application in ultrathin nanoelectronics. The MIS heterojunction structure was fabricated by vertically stacking layered materials using a simple wet chemical transfer method. The stacking of each layer was confirmed by confocal scanning Raman spectroscopy and device performance was evaluated using current versus voltage (I–V) and photocurrent measurements. We clearly observed better current rectification and much higher current flow in the MIS diode than in the p–n junction and the metal–semiconductor diodes made of layered materials. The I–V characteristic curve of the MIS diode indicates that current flows mainly across interfaces as a result of carrier tunneling. Moreover, we observed considerably high photocurrent from the MIS diode under visible light illumination.
