Abstract

High-quality large-area few-layer 1T' MoTe<sub>2</sub> films with high homogeneity are synthesized by the controlled tellurization of MoO<sub>3</sub> film. The Mo precursor plays a key role in determining the quality and morphology of the 1T' MoTe<sub>2</sub> . Furthermore, the amount of Te strongly influences the phase of the MoTe<sub>2</sub> . The growth method paves the way toward the scalable production of 1T' MoTe<sub>2</sub> -based applications.
