Glass/Mo, Mo foil, glass/Mo/In, and glass/Mo/Cu stacked layers were selenized in closed vacuum tubes by isothermal and/or two-temperature zone annealing in Se vapors. The selenization process was studied dependent on Se vapor pressure, temperature and time. Samples were selenized from 375 to 580°C for 30 and 60 minutes. The applied Se pressure was varied between 130 and4.4⋅103 Pa. The increase of MoSe2film thickness was found to depend on the origin of Mo. MoSe2thicknessdLon Mo-foil was much higher than on sputtered Mo layers, and it depended linearly on time and as a power functiondL~PSe1/2on Se vapor pressure. The residual oxygen content in the formed MoSe2layers was much lower in the two-zone selenization process. If Mo was covered with Cu or In before selenization, these were found to diffuse into formed MoSe2layer. All the MoSe2layers showedp-type conductivity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
