Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) flakes can grow beyond the edge of an underlying substrate into a planar freestanding crystal. When the substrate edge is in the form of an aperture, reagent-limited nucleation followed by edge growth facilitate direct and selective growth of freestanding MoS2 membranes. We have found conditions under which MoS2 grows preferentially across micrometer-scale prefabricated solid-state apertures in silicon nitride membranes, resulting in sealed membranes that are one to a few atomic layers thick. We have investigated the structure and purity of our membranes by a combination of atomic-resolution transmission electron microscopy, elemental analysis, Raman spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, and low-noise ion-current recordings through nanopores fabricated in such membranes. Finally, we demonstrate the utility of fabricated ultrathin nanopores in such membranes for single-stranded DNA translocation detection.
