Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor devices, and specifically relates to a two-dimensional field effect transistor and a preparation method thereof, which can be used to prepare a high-temperature resistant two-dimensional field effect transistor. Background Art

[0002] Two-dimensional semiconductor materials, especially transition metal dichalcogenides such as molybdenum disulfide, have many superior properties as channel materials for field effect transistors. The atomic-level thickness of two-dimensional semiconductor materials can effectively control the short channel effect, so that high performance can be maintained while continuing to reduce the size of the device, which can achieve further miniaturization of semiconductor devices and increase the density of integrated circuits. Its atomic-level thickness and excellent electrical properties can significantly reduce the leakage current and static power consumption in the channel, making it very suitable for low-power devices. In addition, two-dimensional materials also have good mobility, which can achieve fast switching and efficient signal transmission at low voltage, and are suitable for high-speed circuit applications. In addition, two-dimensional semiconductor materials have excellent mechanical flexibility and transparency, and can be widely used in flexible electronics, wearable devices and other fields, providing more possibilities for the diversity of future electronic products. These characteristics of two-dimensional semiconductor materials make them have broad application prospects in the new generation of electronic devices, especially high-efficiency and low-power nanoelectronic devices.

[0003] Nanoscale transistors with high integration density and low power consumption and high temperature resistant integrated circuits are in urgent need in many fields including aerospace. Compared with traditional wide bandgap semiconductors such as gallium nitride and silicon carbide high temperature transistors, transistors based on two-dimensional semiconductor materials have the advantages of extremely high flexibility, atomic scale and ultra-low power consumption.

[0004] Molybdenum disulfide is a layered two-dimensional semiconductor material with excellent electrical properties such as high carrier mobility, ultra-low flicker noise and good integrability. It can be used as a channel material for atomic-thick ultra-low power high-performance field effect transistors. However, the application of molybdenum disulfide devices faces challenges in high-temperature environments. When the ambient temperature rises to 200°C, a large number of sulfur vacancies will form on the surface of molybdenum disulfide. These vacancies tend to adsorb oxygen molecules, which in turn leads to undesired doping of the material. The point defects and line defects caused by oxidation will seriously affect the stability of its electrical properties. At a high temperature of 300°C, molybdenum disulfide is prone to oxidation. MoO3 is one of the typical oxides of MoS2 and is easy to sublimate at high temperatures. Therefore, molybdenum disulfide may even decompose rapidly at high temperatures. In addition, many other transition metal dichalcogenides such as tungsten disulfide and tungsten diselenide may also oxidize and decompose at high temperatures, affecting their performance stability in field effect transistors at high temperatures. For example, WS2 will begin to oxidize when the temperature exceeds 500°C in the air, generating WO3 and SO2 gases. In order to apply these materials at high temperatures, they usually need to be used in an inert atmosphere or vacuum to avoid oxidation. At present, related research has grown an Al2O3 protective layer on the surface of MoS2 by atomic layer deposition, which can work stably at 107°C, but this type of device still has difficulty maintaining good and stable performance at higher temperatures. Summary of the invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a high temperature thermally stable two-dimensional field effect transistor and a preparation method thereof, so as to solve the deficiency of the above-mentioned prior art that it is difficult to maintain good stable performance at higher temperatures.

[0018] §4: Using PMMA-assisted transfer method, the grown two-dimensional material film is transferred to the packaging protection bottom layer as the thin film layer of the transistor;

[0019] §5: On the substrate to which the two-dimensional material is transferred, an encapsulation protection top layer is obtained by metal organic chemical vapor deposition or magnetron sputtering or transfer method;

[0020] §6: Evenly coating the surface of the top package protection layer with photoresist, performing pre-baking and photolithography, and then etching the top package protection layer, the two-dimensional material film, and the bottom package protection layer in sequence to obtain an isolation area;

[0021] §7: After etching the isolation area, the top layer of the package protection is etched again by conventional photolithography to make the contact area of ​​the source and drain electrodes;

[0028] 4) Since the packaging protective layer deposition method adopted in the present invention is metal organic chemical vapor deposition, magnetron sputtering or transfer method, compared with the traditional atomic layer deposition method, the protective layer growth quality is high and the defect density is low, which is more conducive to achieving high temperature thermal stability and good electrical properties of the two-dimensional field effect transistor.

[0029] 5) Since the present invention adopts chemical vapor deposition to prepare the two-dimensional material film, compared with the mechanical exfoliation method, it can grow a large-area, uniform two-dimensional material film, and can control the number of layers and crystal quality of the two-dimensional material by adjusting parameters such as gas flow, reaction temperature and time, so as to batch prepare two-dimensional material field effect transistors with different electrical properties.

[0030] 6) The present invention uses PMMA wet transfer to achieve the transfer of the two-dimensional material thin film layer, which can achieve uniform transfer on a larger area substrate, effectively reduce the mechanical damage to the molybdenum disulfide film during the transfer process, and help to obtain a higher quality film.
