Van der Waals heterostructures (vdWH) consisting of two-dimensional ferromagnets and transition metal dichalcogenides have attracted great interests due to their promising (opto)spintronic applications. The Fe_5−xGeTe₂ (FGT, with x ∼ 0.2) is considered as one of the most promising materials due to its high-temperature ferromagnetic order and robust perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA). We report on the large-area MBE growth of FGT on CVD-grown WSe₂/Al₂O₃(0001). The structural characterizations reveal the high-quality formation of FGT/WSe₂ vdWH. The anomalous Hall effect (AHE) exhibits a clear hysteresis loop below 250 K providing evidence for PMA. The S-shaped AHE at higher temperatures indicates a magnetic order up to 360 K. Further magnetotransport anomaly can be explained by the formation of skyrmions accompanied by a topological Hall effect and a non-colinear magnetic order contribution to the magnetoresistance. Our results demonstrate the extraordinary potential of high-quality FGT/WSe₂ vdWH for tailoring proximity-induced phenomena that can be exploited for (opto)spintronic applications.
