Direct Heterogeneous Integration of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides

In this talk, I will discuss our recent developments centered on a process to produce fully soluble solutions from a unique molecular chemistry to enable the creation of wafer-scale monolayer 2D semiconductors, like MoS2 and WS2, for logic and memory device applications. These molecules can be dissolved in common solvents and coated onto various substrates, including crystalline substrates, printed electrodes, and polymers. It can also be integrated into superlattice heterostructures like the gate-all-around (GAA) transistor architecture as well as for fabricating atomically thin memresistors for neuromorphic devices. Our method of rapidly synthesizing large-area 2D semiconductor films, particularly in monolayer form *via* spin-coating, represents a novelty, as it hasn't been demonstrated previously with a single-source chemistry.
