Abstract

We present results on growth of ReS2 thin film both on c plane sapphire substrate and MoS2 template by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Films tend to grow with (0001)ReS2 ⊥ (0001)Al2O3 and (0001)ReS2 ⊥ (0001)MoS2 ∥ (0001)Al2O3 at deposition temperature below 300 °C. Films are polycrystalline grown at temperature above 300 °C. The smoothness and epitaxial quality of the films are significantly improved when grown on MoS2 template compared to sapphire substrate. The results show that PLD is suitable to grow ReS2 thin film over large area (10 × 10 mm2) for practical device application.
