Popis: The research on 2D layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) is a topic of rapidly growing field owing to its attractive physical properties and variety in applications. In order to expand the application possibility, alloying is carried out resulting in tunability of the bandgap and the band alignment. In this study, $\mathbf{MoS}_{\mathbf{2}(\mathbf{1}-\mathbf{x})}\mathbf{Te}_{\mathbf{2x}}$ , alloy of MoS 2 and MoTe 2 , is fabricated by simultaneous sputtering of Mos 2 and MoTe 2 . The physical properties and the structure change depending on the sputtering conditions are examined. It was revealed that in order to obtain layer structure and prevent phase separation, patches of Mos 2 ,MoTe 2 and $\mathbf{MoS}_{\mathbf{2}(\mathbf{1}-\mathbf{x})}\mathbf{Te}_{\mathbf{2x}}$ forming rather than having a uniformly mixed film, the control of substrate temperature and the amount of chalcogen deficit is critical. That is, when the film shows chalcogen ratio close to that of stoichiometric ratio, the film can be formed with the layer structure and without phase segregation even at relatively high substrate temperature.
