Low-temperature and scalable CVD route to WS2 monolayers on SiO2/Si substrates
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Tungsten disulfide (WS2) monolayers are promising for next-generation flat electronics, but few scalable deposition methods are currently available. Here, the authors report the fabrication of tungsten disulfide monolayers through a novel two-step chemical vapor deposition process involving the deposition of an amorphous tungsten sulfide layer at a relatively mild temperature from the W(CO)6 and 1,2-ethanedithiol precursors, followed by a short annealing at 800 °C under an inert atmosphere. This two-step process allows the fabrication of a crystalline WS2 deposit with a low thermal budget. Raman, x-ray photoelectron, and wavelength dispersive x-ray fluorescence spectroscopic studies performed before and after annealing confirmed the deposition of a sulfur-rich amorphous intermediate, and further confirmed its conversion upon annealing toward oriented 2D WS2 crystals in the 1–2 monolayer range, as corroborated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
