Laser Trimming for Lithography-Free Fabrications of MoS₂ Devices Permalink

Published in Nano Research, Volume 16, Issue 4,pages 5042–5046, 2022

This study presents a facile laser trimming method to insulate single-layer MoS2 regions from thicker multilayer areas. Electrical characterization and scanning photocurrent microscopy reveal that laser trimming effectively isolates single-layer MoS2, offering a lithography-free alternative to patterning processes.
