Abstract:An accurate and rapid identification of the number of MoS 2 layers in a nondestructive manner is essential for implementing MoS 2 -based electronic and optoelectronic devices as their properties and performance depend sensitively on the layer number. This paper reports that scanning electron microscopy imaging with an in-column backscattered electron (BSE) detector coupled with a low acceleration voltage provides layer number-sensitive high contrast for MoS 2 on an insulating SiO 2 substrate, enabling the diff… Show more
