We present the epitaxial growth of MoS2 on sapphire substrate using low-pressure CVD method. The research focuses on optimizing the growth conditions to achieve reproducible results and explores the potential of conventional epitaxy for synthesizing crystalline nanoclusters/flakes of MoS2. By performing targeted substrates surface modification, we successfully achieve the desired epitaxial growth as confirmed by HRTEM. This research contributes to the development of scalable and high-quality Transition Metal Dichalcogenide (TMD) growth techniques, for practical applications.
