Abstract

This work investigated the influence of initial sulphur content in the precursor solution for the growth of molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) films by thermal vapour sulfurization (TVS) with sol-gel spin coating as pre-deposition technique. The early introduction of sulphur shows the presence of grains which has uniformly distributed and homogeneous on the surface of the film. MoS2 (002) planes are detected for both films with and without initial sulphur conditions, however, the presence of initial sulphur contents gives slightly higher intensity of diffraction peak. Two phonon modes for MoS2, namely the E2g (in-plane) and the A1g (out-of plane), are well detected from which the frequency difference of Raman peaks between E2g and A1g suggest the grown MoS2 consisted of multi-layers. There is a slight shift of E2g which is caused by the carbon impurities but no shift for A1g. Besides, MoS2 film with the presence of initial sulphur content shows better crystal as indicated by its narrower Raman peaks linewidth. Two broad absorption peaks of MoS2 are detected at 614nm and 665nm. Hence, the early introduction of sulphur content in prepared precursor solution is one way of optimizing the growth of MoS2 films.
