ABSTRACT:
A method of depositing a film of a metal chalcogenide. The first of these methods includes the steps of: contacting at least one metal chalcogenide, a hydrazine compound and optionally, an elemental chalcogen, to produce a solution of a hydrazinium-based precursor of the metal chalcogenide; applying the solution of the hydrazinium-based precursor of the metal chalcogenide onto a substrate to produce a film of the precursor; and thereafter annealing the film of the precursor to remove excess hydrazine and hydrazinium chalcogenide salts to produce a metal chalcogenide film on the substrate. The second of these methods includes the steps of: contacting: at least one metal chalcogenide and a salt of an amine compound to produce an ammonium-based precursor of the metal chalcogenide; contacting the ammonium-based precursor of the metal chalcogenide and a hydrazine compound, and optionally, an elemental chalcogen, to produce a solution of a hydrazinium-based precursor of the metal chalcogenide in the hydrazine compound; applying the solution of the hydrazinium-based precursor onto a substrate to produce a film; and thereafter, annealing to produce a metal chalcogenide film. Also provided is a thin-film field-effect transistor device using the metal chalcogenides as the channel layer.
