Claim:
1. A method for growing a transition metal dichalcogenide on a substrate, the method comprising: providing a growth substrate having a first side and a second side opposite said first side of said growth substrate; providing a source substrate having a first side and a second side opposite said first side of said source substrate; depositing a transition metal oxide on at least a portion of said first side of said source substrate; combining said growth substrate with said source substrate such that said first side of said growth substrate contacts said transition metal oxide, said combining producing a substrate stack; exposing said substrate stack to a chalcogenide gas, whereby said transition metal oxide reacts with said chalcogenide gas to produce a layer of a transition metal dichalcogenide on at least a portion of said first side of said growth substrate; and removing said source substrate from said growth substrate having said layer of said transition metal dichalcogenide thereon.
