[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, when the present invention is used, the ferroelectric polarization state is tuned by applying a DC pulse to the Gr channel of the source and drain; at the same time, the gate voltage is preset to control the injection and discharge of carriers into and out of the Gr channel, thereby achieving non-volatile doping of the Gr channel.

[0019] The reagents and instruments required for the preparation of the embodiments of the present invention are as follows: Graphite crystal (HQ graphene); hBN crystal (HQ graphene); Silicon wafer (University, 300 nm SiO2 / Si); Blue tape for mechanical stripping (ultronsystems); White tape (3M); PDMS (DOW CORNING 184); PC (Sigma-Aldrich); PPC (Sigma-Aldrich); PMMA (MicroChem 495 A4); Dichloromethane (Bai Lingwei, pesticide residue grade 99.9%); Anisole (alladin, chromatography grade 99.9%); Acetone (Vokay, chromatography grade 99.9%); Isopropyl alcohol (Tedia, chromatography grade 99.9%); Two-dimensional material transfer station (Meita Optoelectronics), electron beam deposition equipment (Syskey E-Beam Evaporationsystem), oxygen plasma system (Femto Scince Convance), spin coater (Spin Processor POLOS), optical microscope (Nikon LV100ND), field emission electron microscope (Zeiss Sigma 300), electron beam exposure system (RaithQuantum), atomic force microscope (SmartSPM-1000), Raman spectrometer (Horiba JY Labram EVO, 532nm), low-temperature transport equipment (OXFORD TeslatronPT), source meter (Keithley 2400 / Keithley 6430).

[0020] The specific preparation method comprises the following steps: Step 1), strip-shaped Gr thin sheets and strip-shaped hBN thin sheets are peeled off respectively and placed on different silicon wafer substrates; Step 1.1), using an oxygen plasma system to clean the silicon wafer at 50W / 50sccm / 2min to increase the bonding strength between the silicon wafer and the Gr wafer and the hBN wafer; Step 1.2), use blue tape to stick a little Gr crystal and hBN crystal respectively, and then cover the tape on the silicon wafer; Step 1.3), place the silicon wafer covered by the blue tape on a hot plate and heat it at 100°C for 1 min to enhance the adhesion between the tape and the silicon wafer; In step 1.4, the silicon wafer covered by the blue tape is removed from the hot plate, and after cooling, the blue tape is slowly peeled off, and the Gr and hBN wafers are obtained by mechanical peeling.

[0021] After peeling off the Gr thin film and hBN thin film, an optical microscope is used to confirm the positions of the Gr thin film and hBN thin film on the silicon wafer by the difference in optical contrast; and an atomic force microscope is used to confirm the thickness of the two-dimensional material at the corresponding position and the surface cleanliness.

[0022] Step 2), preparing a PPC / PDMS transfer carrier; Step 2.1), cut a piece of PDMS and place it on a clean glass slide, and treat its surface with oxygen plasma at 30W / 20sccm / 30s; turn the PDMS over and treat the surface again with oxygen plasma at 50W / 50sccm / 2min; Step 2.2), spin coat the PPC reagent (15% mass fraction, anisole solvent) on the PDMS surface at 4000 rpm / s for 1 min using a spin coater, and then heat on a hot plate at 105°C for 3 min to form a PPC film; Step 2.3), treating the PDMS spin-coated with PPC with oxygen plasma under the condition of 20W / 10sccm / 3s to obtain a PPC / PDMS transfer carrier; Step 3), take two clean glass slides, add 3 ml of PC reagent (5% mass fraction, dichloromethane solvent) on one of them, then immediately cover it with another glass slide, and then slowly pull the two glass slides apart to form a layer of PC film on the glass slide. After standing for 5 minutes, use a scalpel to cut the PC film into small pieces; cut a square hole in the middle of the 3M white tape, the area of ​​the square hole should be slightly larger than the small piece of PDMS, and then use it to stick the PC film, and cover the PC film on the PPC / PDMS transfer carrier to obtain a PC / PPC / PDMS dry transfer carrier; Step 4), at a preset threshold temperature, the PC film of the PC / PPC / PDMS dry transfer carrier is covered on the Gr thin slice, the PC / PPC / PDMS dry transfer carrier is slowly lifted to stick the target Gr thin slice from the silicon wafer substrate, and then the Gr thin slice is attached to the hBN thin slice on the silicon wafer substrate; then, it is heated to 180°C and maintained for 2 minutes, so that the PPC / PC film melts and releases heat to the silicon wafer substrate, and then, the PDMS carrier is slowly removed to form a Gr / hBN heterojunction on the silicon wafer substrate; finally, it is cleaned with dichloromethane for 20 minutes, acetone for 15 minutes, and isopropanol for 5 minutes in sequence to remove the Gr / hBN heterojunction and the PPC and PC on the surface of the silicon wafer substrate; Step 5), placing the Gr / hBN heterojunction on the silicon wafer substrate horizontally so that the Gr sheet is located at the top; Step 6), spin-coating PMMA on the upper surface of the silicon wafer substrate at a speed of 4000 rmp / s, and heating until the solvent in the PMMA evaporates to form a PMMA layer; Step 7), repeat step 6) until the PMMA layer on the upper surface of the silicon wafer substrate covers the Gr thin sheet; Step 8), using a field emission electron microscope and an electron beam exposure system to expose the source and drain electrodes on the PMMA layer, and then placing it in a developer (isopropyl alcohol: water = 3:1) for 30 seconds to expose the source and drain regions, and then using an electron beam deposition device to evaporate Ti / Au on the source and drain regions; Step 9), post-processing is performed by soaking the evaporated device in acetone reagent, placing it on a hot plate and heating it at 65°C to make the PMMA-carrying metal thin layer in the unexposed area fall off; then the device is soaked in isopropanol reagent for cleaning for 5 minutes, and blown dry with nitrogen to obtain a quasi-ferroelectric transistor with a source and a drain; Step 10), a wire is led out from the lower surface of the silicon wafer substrate as a gate to obtain a Gr / hBN ferroelectric transistor.

[0023] Source-drain pulse control and electrical transport test of Gr / hBN ferroelectric transistors: Based on the sample holder of the low-temperature transport equipment, the device leads are completed, such as Figure 2 (a) The sample is placed in the chamber and the vacuum is pumped to 1×10 -6 torr, and the chamber temperature was lowered to 1.5 K. In order to achieve the regulation of multi-state polarization, we designed a source-drain bias pulse with a monotonically changing amplitude ( V pulse ) at the gate voltage ( V G ) is zero. The change in polarization direction and intensity causes a difference in carrier concentration inside Gr, so that the change in the polarization state of the system can be detected by the channel current. V pulse The amplitude is 1 mV, and after each pulse, the source-drain voltage is 1 mV ( V DS ) to record the change of channel current over time; it was found that 56 discrete polarization states could be generated in a single device, and the retention performance of each state was at least more than 1000 seconds, such as Figure 2 (b) As shown in Figure 2, +13 V and -13 V are applied respectively. V pulse , making the net polarization of the system downward and upward; the corresponding two channel current levels are more than 10 5 It is still clearly discernible after seconds, and based on linear extrapolation, the retention time may exceed 10 years, such as Figure 3 shown.

[0024] Nonvolatile doping control of Gr / hBN ferroelectric transistors: In addition to source-drain pulses, another degree of freedom in Gr / hBN devices is the bottom gate voltage. We found that by applying source-drain pulses and presetting a gate voltage ( V G_Pre), the Dirac peak of graphene can be locked to V G_Pre At 1.5 K, V G_Pre = +60 V ~ -60 V and -60 V ~ +60 V conditions, such as Figure 4 As shown in Figure 1, source-drain pulses with an amplitude of -12 V and a width of 1 second are applied in sequence, and at each V pulse Scanning transfer curve after action; the upper inset demonstrates the method of adjusting the nonvolatile doping level, and the other inset describes the carrier density and V G_Pre A linear relationship is found between them; it is found that the position of the Dirac peak of graphene produces a significant linear shift, indicating the effective modulation of the system doping level.

[0025] Demonstration of room temperature control of thousands of polarization states in Gr / hBN ferroelectric transistors: Control of nonvolatile doping levels can be extended to 300 K at room temperature V G_Pre = +40 V ~ -40 V, the transfer curve of graphene shows dozens of different Dirac peak positions, which correspond to different Fermi levels of graphene, such as Figure 5 As shown. V G_Pre = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 V, for example, a series of positive V pulse The application of makes the channel current gradually increase, such as Figure 6 As shown in (a), different current levels correspond to the evolution of polarization states. In order to intuitively distinguish all polarization states, we define the device weight as 𝑊 d =𝑉 𝐺_𝑃𝑟𝑒 + 𝛼𝐼 𝐷𝑆 (𝛼 is the scaling factor, 𝛼 = 1 / (𝐼 𝐷𝑆 (𝑚𝑎𝑥)−𝐼 𝐷𝑆 (𝑚in)), 𝐼 𝐷𝑆 The unit is nanoampere); based on this, all measured channel current levels are converted into device weights, and the modulation process is presented as 𝑊 d is monotonically increasing, such as Figure 6 (b). In contrast, a series of negative V pulse Suppressing channel current, such as Figure 7 As shown in (a), the modulation 𝑊 d Monotonically decreasing, so that the modulation process of the polarization state is reversible, such as Figure 7(b). We selectively demonstrate modulation of 36 distinguishable channel current levels at 84 specific doping levels; by converting all states to the corresponding 𝑊 d , we demonstrated 3024 discrete and uniformly distributed polarization states in a single Gr / hBN device, such as Figure 8 shown.

[0026] The present invention further demonstrates the realization of more than 3,000 non-volatile polarization states at room temperature in a ferroelectric transistor, and improving the test resolution has the potential to further increase the number of states exponentially, laying a solid foundation for the realization of efficient memory computing and edge hardware at the atomic scale.
