Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for straining a two-dimensional layer of solid material (5) in a nanoelectronic device. the method comprises the steps of providing a substrate; adding a thin film onto the substrate to be in direct contact with the substrate (4), or onto one of one or more first interlayers placed on the substrate (4) to be in indirect contact with the substrate (4); patterning the thin film; and adding, through a high-temperature process, a two-dimensional layer of solid material onto the patterned thin film (3) to be in direct contact with the patterned thin film (3), or onto one of one or more second interlayers placed on the patterned thin film (3) to be in indirect contact with the patterned thin film (3).

Thin film

A thin film is a layer of material ranging from fractions of a nanometer (monolayer) to several micrometers in thickness. The controlled synthesis of materials as thin films (a process referred to as deposition) is a fundamental step in many applications. A familiar example is the household mirror, which typically has a thin metal coating on the back of a sheet of glass to form a reflective interface. The process of silvering was once commonly used to produce mirrors, while more recently the metal layer is deposited using techniques such as sputtering.

Solid

Solid is one of the four fundamental states of matter (the others being liquid, gas, and plasma). The molecules in a solid are closely packed together and contain the least amount of kinetic energy. A solid is characterized by structural rigidity (as in rigid bodies) and resistance to a force applied to the surface. Unlike a liquid, a solid object does not flow to take on the shape of its container, nor does it expand to fill the entire available volume like a gas.

Amorphous solid

In condensed matter physics and materials science, an amorphous solid (or non-crystalline solid) is a solid that lacks the long-range order that is characteristic of a crystal. The terms "glass" and "glassy solid" are sometimes used synonymously with amorphous solid; however, these terms refer specifically to amorphous materials that undergo a glass transition. Examples of amorphous solids include glasses, metallic glasses, and certain types of plastics and polymers. The term comes from the Greek a ("without"), and morphé ("shape, form").
