Abstract

The performance of two-dimensional (2D) MoS2 devices depends largely on the quality of the MoS2 itself. Existing fabrication process for 2D MoS2 relies on lithography and etching. However, it is extremely difficult to achieve clean patterns without any contaminations or passivations. Here we report a peel-off pattering of MoS2 films on substrates based on a proper interface engineering. The peel-off process utilizes the strong adhesion between gold and MoS2 and removes the MoS2 film contact with gold directly, leading to clean MoS2 pattern generation without residuals. Significantly improved electrical performances including high mobility ∼17.1 ± 8.3 cm2/(V s) and on/off ratio ∼5.6 ± 3.6 × 106 were achieved. Such clean fabrication technique paves a way to high quality MoS2 devices for various electrical and optical applications.
