Large-scale growth of two-dimensional (2D) materials and their subsequent integration with III-V compound semiconductors is one of the major obstacles for two-dimensional materials implementation in optoelectronics applications. In this talk, I present a direct growth of transition metal chalcogenides on an III-V compound semiconductor compatible with a batch microfabrication process. We show how a thin film of molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) can be directly synthesized on...
