Abstract

Interfacial contaminants remain a major technical challenge for van der Waals (vdW) junctions, severely degrading device performance. Given the inherent difficulty of fabricating contaminant-free vdW interfaces, developing effective postfabrication cleaning technologies is crucial for restoring interfacial quality. Existing technologies include annealing, which results in incomplete removal, and A…
