Monolayer MoS2, a two-dimensional semiconductor, was directly synthesized on polymer and ultrathin-glass substrates at 150 °C using a metal–organic chemical vapour deposition strategy. The high-quality MoS2 films enabled the construction of various integrated circuits on flexible substrates without the need for an additional transfer process.
