Sub-20 nm patterning of thin layer WSe2 by scanning probe lithography
2016
The electronic properties of thin layer transition metal dichalcogenides have raised considerable interest in the fabrication of advanced field-effect transistors and ultrasensitive sensors. Downscaling those devices to the nanoscale depends on the development of cost-effective and robust alternative nanolithographies. Here we demonstrate the direct, resist-less and reproducible nanopatterning of tungsten diselenide thin layers. By using oxidation scanning probe lithography (o-SPL) we have generated arrays of dots with a width of 13 nm and periodicity of 40 nm. We have also patterned a point contact of 35 nm and a nanoscale field-effect transistor. The direct and resistless fabrication of WSe2 nanoscale devices by oxidation scanning probe lithography opens a straightforward and reliable method for processing transition metal dichalcogenides materials.
