Growth of p-doped 2D-MoS2 on Al2O3 from spatial atomic layer deposition
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this letter, we report on the synthesis of monolayers of MoS2 via chemical vapor deposition directly on thin films of Al2O3 grown by spatial atomic layer deposition. The synthesized monolayers are characterized by atomic force microscopy as well as confocal Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopies. Our data reveal that the morphology and properties of the 2D material differ strongly depending on its position on the substrate. Close to the material source, we find individual flakes with an edge length of several hundred microns exhibiting a tensile strain of 0.3 %, n-doping on the order of ne = 0.2 × 1013 cm−2, and a dominant trion contribution to the photoluminescence signal. In contrast to this, we identify a mm-sized region downstream, that is made up from densely packed, small MoS2 crystallites with an edge length of several microns down to the nanometer regime and a coverage of more than 70 %. This nano-crystalline layer shows a significantly reduced strain of only <0.02 %, photoluminescence emission at an energy of 1.86 eV with a reduced trion contribution, and appears to be p-doped with a carrier density of nh = 0.1 × 1013 cm−2. The unusual p-type doping achieved here in a standard chemical vapor deposition process without substitutional doping, post-processing, or the use of additional chemicals may prove useful for applications.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
