How to transfer MoS2 films from growth substrates onto target substrates is a critical issue for its practical applications. However, it remains a great challenge to avoid the sample degradation and substrate destruction, since current transfer method inevitably employs a wet chemical etching process. Herein, we develop an etching-free transfer method for transferring wafer-scale MoS2 films onto arbitrary substrates by using ultrasonication. Briefly, the collapse of ultrasonication-generated microbubbles at the interface between polymer-coated MoS2 film and substrates induce sufficient force to delaminate the MoS2 films. Using this method the MoS2 films can be transferred from all the substrates (silica, mica, strontium titanate, sapphire) and remains the original sample morphology and quality. This method guarantees a simple transfer process, allows the reuse of growth substrates, without the presence of any hazardous etchants. The etching-free transfer method may promote the broad applications of MoS2 in electronics, optoelectronics and catalysis.

Vapor transportation is the core process in growing transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). One inevitable problem is the spatial inhomogeneity of the vapors. The non-stoichiometric supply of transition-metal prec
ursors and chalcogen leads to poor control in products location, morphology, crystallinity, uniformity and batch to batch reproducibility. While vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth involves molten precursors at the growth temperatures higher than their melting points. The liquid sodium molybdate can precipitate solid MoS2 monolayers when saturated with sulfur vapor. Taking advantage of the VLS growth, we achieved three kinds of important achievements: (a) 4-inch-wafer-scale uniform growth of MoS2 flakes on SiO2/Si substrates, (b) 2-inch-wafer-scale growth of continuous MoS2 film with a grain size exceeding 100 um on sapphire substrates, and (c) pattern (site-controlled) growth of MoS2 flakes and film. We clarified that the VLS growth thus pave the new way for the high-efficient, scalable synthesis of two-dimensional TMDC monolayers.
Control of the position and density of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) is vital for a variety of emergent technologies, such as quantum photonics and advanced opto-electronic devices. However, established ordering methods typically call for ex-situ
processing prior to growth that have a deleterious impact on the optical quality of nanostructures. Here, we apply a conventional epitaxial growth method - molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) - to achieve wafer scale positioning of optically active QDs with high reproducibility, tunable periodicity, and controlled density across an entire unpatterned 3-inch semiconductor wafer. Hereby, we exploit material thickness gradients across the wafer to modulate the QD nucleation probability and demonstrate how our approaches can be used to achieve strong periodic modulation of the local dot density tunable over length scales ranging from a few millimeters to at least a few hundred microns in one or two spatial directions. The methods are universal and are applicable to a wide variety of semiconductor material systems.
Monolayer hBN has attracted interest as a potentially weakly interacting 2D insulating layer in heterostructures. Recently, wafer-scale hBN growth on Cu(111) has been demonstrated for semiconductor chip fabrication processes and transistor action. Fo
r all these applications, the perturbation on the underlying electronically active layers is critical. For example, while hBN on Cu(111) has been shown to preserve the Cu(111) surface state 2D electron gas, it was previously unknown how this varies over the sample and how it is affected by local electronic corrugation. Here, we demonstrate that the Cu(111) surface state under wafer-scale hBN is robustly homogeneous in energy and spectral weight over nanometer length scales and over atomic terraces. We contrast this with a benchmark spectral feature associated with interaction between BN atoms and the Cu surface, which varies with the Moire pattern of the hBN/Cu(111) sample and is dependent on atomic registry. This work demonstrates that fragile 2D electron systems and interface states are largely unperturbed by local variations created by the hBN due to atomic-scale interactions with the substrate, thus providing a remarkably transparent window on low-energy electronic structure below the hBN monolayer.
High-performance graphene field-effect transistors have been fabricated on epitaxial graphene synthesized on a two-inch SiC wafer, achieving a cutoff frequency of 100 GHz for a gate length of 240 nm. The high-frequency performance of these epitaxial
graphene transistors not only shows the highest speed for any graphene devices up to date, but it also exceeds that of Si MOSFETs at the same gate length. The result confirms the high potential of graphene for advanced electronics applications, marking an important milestone for carbon electronics.
We investigate native nitrogen (NV) and silicon vacancy (SiV) color centers in commercially available, heteroepitaxial, wafer-sized, mm thick, single-crystal diamond. We observe single, native NV centers with a density of roughly 1 NV per $mu m^3$ an
d moderate coherence time ($T_2 = 5 mu s$) embedded in an ensemble of SiV centers. Low-temperature spectroscopy of the SiV zero phonon line fine structure witnesses high crystalline quality of the diamond especially close to the growth surface, consistent with a reduced dislocation density. Using ion implantation and plasma etching, we verify the possibility to fabricate nanostructures with shallow color centers rendering our diamond material promising for fabrication of nanoscale sensing devices. As this diamond is available in wafer-sizes up to $100 mm$ it offers the opportunity to up-scale diamond-based device fabrication.
