Waterless manufacturing approach could help advance integration of 2D electronics

These materials are made from molybdenum disulfide, a two-dimensional semiconductor, grown on the surface of sapphire. The triangles align because a specialized process called epitaxy allows the material to grow in a pattern that follows the surface it’s grown on. Insulating layers, such as amorphous boron nitride, are added during the manufacturing process of these ultra-thin materials that will be…
