Description
Two-dimensional van der Waals quantum matter (2DQM) are promising candidates for a host of desirable opto-magneto-thermo-electronic-acoustic applications. Their coveted technological deployment beyond research laboratory environment, however, hinges on the capabilities of fabricating high-quality reproducible materials and devices on a wafer scale. Successful synthesis of 2DQM requires a high degree of control over nucleation, growth, polymorphism, stacking, twisting, heterostructure and interfacial coupling. Here we show that our new 2DQM Facility at the University of Ottawa, featuring a state-of-the-art AIXTRON metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) system, is well suited for the growth and rational integration of graphene, boron nitride and transition metal dichalcogenides. Synergistic characterizations, comprehensively leveraging atomic force microscopy, photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopies, and transport probes, allow for high-throughput materials optimization and accelerated discovery. Our 2DQM Facility (https://2dqm.uottawa.ca/) bodes particularly well for supplying Canadian academic and industry researchers the much-needed high-quality 2DQM, contributing to sustained breakthroughs in quantum materials innovation.
