摘要
We report on the first demonstration of p-type doping in large area few-layer films of (0001)-oriented chemical vapor deposited MoS2. Niobium was found to act as an efficient acceptor up to relatively high density in MoS2 films. For a hole density of 3.1 × 1020 cm-3, Hall mobility of 8.5 cm2 V-1 s -1 was determined, which matches well with the theoretically expected values. X-ray diffraction scans and Raman characterization indicated that the film had good out-of-plane crystalline quality. Absorption measurements showed that the doped sample had similar characteristics to high-quality undoped samples, with a clear absorption edge at 1.8 eV. Scanning transmission electron microscope imaging showed ordered crystalline nature of the Nb-doped MoS 2 layers stacked in the [0001] direction. This demonstration of substitutional p-doping in large area epitaxial MoS2 could help in realizing a wide variety of electrical and opto-electronic devices based on layered metal dichalcogenides. © 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
