«The major advantage of epitaxial growth is that it enables us to exploit the existing economies of scale for silicon, which would drive down cost,» Liu said. (sciencedaily.com)

The Penn State researchers use a different, more scalable method, called chemical vapor deposition, to deposit a single layer of crystalline WSe2 on top of a few layers of epitaxial graphene that is grown from silicon carbide. (sciencedaily.com)
