The application discloses a method for patterning and
thinning two-dimensional tellurene, comprising the following steps: (1) transferring the prepared two-dimensional tellurene to a target substrate; (2) spin-
coating electron beam
resist on the surface of the two-dimensional tellurene in the target substrate, and then performing patterning on the
electron beam
resist by using an
electron beam
exposure method after baking; (3) placing the obtained two-dimensional tellurene with patterned
electron beam resist in an oxidant solution for soaking, and performing selective
etching and
thinning on the exposed two-dimensional tellurene in the patterned area; (4) removing the
electron beam resist on the surface of the two-dimensional tellurene by using an
organic solvent, then washing with deionized water, and finally
drying the washed two-dimensional tellurene at a certain temperature, so that the patterned and thinned two-dimensional tellurene is obtained. The
thinning method is simple, green and economical, is suitable for the patterning and thinning of a large-area two-dimensional
tellurium film, and avoids the material surface damage problem caused by high-
energy particle bombardment in a traditional patterning and thinning method.
