Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has emerged as a promising protection layer for dielectric integration in the next-generation large-scale integrated electronics. Although numerous efforts have been devoted to growing single-crystal hBN film, wafer-scale ultraflat hBN has still not been achieved. Here, we report the epitaxial growth of 4 in.

The exploration of 2D materials has captured significant attention due to their unique performances, notably focusing on graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN). Characterized by closely resembling atomic structures arranged in a honeycomb lattice, both graphene and h-BN share comparable traits, including exceptional thermal conductivity, impressive carrier mobility, and robust pi-pi interactions with organic molecules. Notably, h-BN has been extensively examined for its exceptional electrical insulating properties, inert passivation capabilities, and provision of an ideal ultraflat surface devoid of dangling bonds.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers have developed a method to grow ultrathin bismuth crystals (less than 10 nm thick) using a nanoscale mould made from atomically flat van der Waals materials like hexagonal boron nitride.
  • *This process results in unique electronic properties due to quantum confinement, isolating effective surface states that allow for advanced transport studies, including quantum oscillations.
  • *The technique not only enhances the understanding of bismuth's electronic behavior but also offers a cost-effective way to create and integrate ultrathin crystals into various electronic structures.
