Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor devices, and further relates to two-dimensional transistor technology, specifically a vacancy-based controllably doped p-type two-dimensional transistor and a preparation method thereof, which can be used to prepare high-performance two-dimensional field effect transistors. Background Art
[0002] With the development of semiconductor device manufacturing technology, traditional silicon-based transistors have encountered a series of problems when shrinking to the nanoscale, such as short channel effect, increased power consumption, and difficult thermal management. These problems restrict the further miniaturization and performance improvement of transistors. Two-dimensional field-effect transistors use two-dimensional semiconductor materials as channel materials. By utilizing the atomic-level thickness of two-dimensional materials, the device size can be further reduced without losing switching performance, thus breaking through the miniaturization limit of silicon-based transistors. Two-dimensional semiconductor materials, especially transition metal dichalcogenides, such as molybdenum disulfide and tungsten diselenide, have many superior properties as channel materials for field-effect transistors. Their atomic-level thickness and excellent electrical properties can significantly reduce the leakage current and static power consumption in the channel, making them very suitable for low-power devices. At the same time, 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] As Moore's Law gradually approaches its limit, the outside world is in urgent need of new semiconductor materials with comprehensive and excellent performance. While two-dimensional materials meet many performance requirements for new semiconductor materials, they still have many problems that need to be solved.
[0004] Limited by the characteristics of the two-dimensional materials themselves and the Fermi level pinning effect, the current research on p-type two-dimensional transistors is relatively lagging behind. Existing two-dimensional semiconductor materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides, mostly exhibit intrinsic n-type conductivity, and two-dimensional materials with excellent p-type properties are relatively scarce. At the same time, the Fermi level pinning effect makes it difficult to control the Schottky barrier when metals contact two-dimensional materials, which also greatly limits the realization of p-type two-dimensional transistors. The ideal CMOS-compatible mass preparation method for p-type two-dimensional transistors is to p-type doping of two-dimensional materials.
[0005] At present, the common p-type doping methods for two-dimensional transistors in academia are mainly to add dopants for substitutional doping during the growth of two-dimensional materials, and to perform surface charge transfer doping on the surface of the grown two-dimensional materials. Substitutional doping can directly increase the carrier concentration and reduce the channel resistance, but this doping method will introduce uncontrollable lattice disorder and seriously reduce the carrier mobility. Unlike substitutional doping, the dopants of surface charge transfer doping are located outside the carrier path and will not introduce any lattice disorder, so they are usually able to retain higher electrical mobility in 2D materials. In surface charge transfer doping, a common strategy is to oxidize the surface of TMDs such as WSe2 with oxygen plasma or UV / ozone to form a self-limiting oxide layer on top of the undamaged layer, such as WO x and WO x Se y These surface oxides produce strong hole doping in the underlying channel material. However, this method of doping the oxidized surface is very uncontrollable, and it is difficult to control the doping concentration and the electrical properties after doping.
[0006] In addition, both the above-mentioned substitutional doping and surface charge transfer doping are difficult to achieve precise partitioned doping. The p-type two-dimensional transistors prepared by uniform doping achieved by these two doping methods have serious gate control problems, making it difficult to turn off the transistor. In silicon-based field-effect transistors, the doping concentration in different regions of the transistor channel can be regulated by partitioned doping to achieve precise control of the electric field distribution, thereby significantly improving carrier mobility, reducing source-drain resistance, and improving short channel effects. However, compared to silicon-based devices, two-dimensional materials have an atomically thin layer structure. The ion implantation partitioned doping method commonly used in silicon-based devices causes high-energy particles to cause serious lattice damage to the two-dimensional material during the process, destroying its inherent structural integrity and electrical properties, resulting in serious degradation of the performance of the two-dimensional transistor. Therefore, conventional ion implantation partitioned doping technology is also difficult to apply to two-dimensional materials.
[0007] At present, the research on two-dimensional transistors still lacks a precise and controllable doping technology that can effectively improve their conductivity while maintaining their gate control performance. This technical bottleneck limits the large-scale preparation of high-performance two-dimensional transistors, especially high-performance p-type devices, and it is difficult to meet the current growing demand for high-performance two-dimensional transistors. Summary of the invention
[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to address the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art and propose a controllably doped p-type two-dimensional transistor based on vacancies and a method for preparing the same, in order to solve the problem that the prior art is difficult to achieve high-performance p-type two-dimensional transistors. First, a thick mask layer is deposited, and then the mask layer is partially thinned by photolithography and etching to form a patterned partial thin layer. Ions are bombarded on the two-dimensional material through the treated mask layer, and the two-dimensional material under the mask thin layer forms surface vacancies. The mask is then removed, and the two-dimensional material is exposed to an oxygen flow for oxidation to form surface charge transfer doping. The present invention can achieve partitioned controllable doping without damaging the two-dimensional material and affecting its performance, thereby effectively improving the conductivity of the two-dimensional transistor.
[0009] The technical solution to achieve the purpose of the present invention is as follows:

[0011] The above-mentioned two-dimensional material channel layer 2 adopts one of the two-dimensional semiconductor materials, which includes at least tungsten diselenide, molybdenum diselenide, and molybdenum disulfide; and is subjected to controllable surface charge transfer doping, that is, partitioned vacancies are manufactured on its surface and then naturally oxidized.
[0012] Furthermore, the two-dimensional material channel layer 2 is a multi-layer structure.
[0013] Furthermore, the insulating substrate 1 is made of any insulating material of SiO2 / Si, sapphire, and diamond; the gate dielectric 7 is made of any insulating dielectric layer of aluminum oxide, aluminum nitride, and silicon nitride; the gate electrode 8 is made of Ni / Au, Pd / Au or Pt / Au metal; the source electrode 5 and the drain electrode 6 are both made of Pd / Au or Pt / Au or a metal that is compatible with the electrical properties of the two-dimensional material.
[0014] A method for preparing a controllably doped p-type two-dimensional transistor based on vacancies comprises the following steps:
[0015] §1: Select a target substrate, use acetone, isopropanol, and deionized water to ultrasonically clean its surface, and then blow dry it with nitrogen to obtain an insulating substrate 1 with a clean surface;
[0016] §2: Using chemical vapor deposition to grow a thin film of the two-dimensional material to be transferred on the substrate surface;
[0017] §3: Using PMMA-assisted transfer method to transfer the grown two-dimensional material film to the insulating substrate 1;
[0018] §4: The two-dimensional material transferred onto the insulating substrate (1) is subjected to coating, pre-baking, photolithography, and development, and then an isolation region is etched to form an array of the two-dimensional material, thereby obtaining a two-dimensional material channel layer to be doped for the transistor;
[0019] §5: Depositing a silicon dioxide layer on the surface of the two-dimensional material obtained in step §4 by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition;
[0020] §6: Evenly coat the surface of the silicon dioxide layer with photoresist, and after pre-baking, photolithography, and etching, etch the silicon dioxide layer above the two-dimensional material area to be doped into a thin silicon dioxide layer;
[0021] §7: High-energy hydrogen ions are used to bombard the surface of the two-dimensional material through a silicon dioxide mask layer to create precisely partitioned two-dimensional material surface vacancies, and a controllable number of vacancies is obtained according to different powers and processing times;
[0022] §8: Remove the silicon dioxide mask layer by wet etching;
[0023] §9: The two-dimensional material with surface vacancies is exposed to an oxygen flow for oxidation, thereby achieving precisely controllable surface charge transfer doping and obtaining the two-dimensional material channel layer 2 of the transistor;
[0024] §10: The surface of the two-dimensional material channel layer 2 obtained in step §9 is deposited with source and drain electrode metals by photolithography and electron beam evaporation. After the metal is deposited, a lift-off process is performed to form a source electrode 3 and a drain electrode 4;
[0025] §11: A gate dielectric layer 5 is obtained by magnetron sputtering aluminum oxide, aluminum nitride or silicon nitride on the surfaces of the two-dimensional material channel layer 2, the source electrode 3 and the drain electrode 4;
[0026] §12: A gate electrode 6 is prepared on the surface of the gate dielectric layer 5 by photolithography, electron beam evaporation, deposition of gate metal and lift-off process;
[0027] §13: The area above the source electrode and the drain electrode is patterned by photolithography, and then the gate dielectric layer is etched to expose the source and drain electrodes to complete the device fabrication.
[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0029] First, the present invention adopts a surface charge transfer doping method for two-dimensional materials. Compared with traditional substitutional doping, it avoids the introduction of lattice disorder that leads to a decrease in carrier mobility; and the surface charge transfer doping method used in the present invention is achieved by first creating vacancies on the surface of the two-dimensional material and then naturally oxidizing it. This method is a low-temperature and low-energy doping method, which avoids excessive damage to the surface of the two-dimensional material by conventional high-temperature and high-energy doping methods. Compared with conventional low-temperature and low-energy oxidation methods, vacancies are used as binding sites for doping atoms, thereby improving the doping concentration and doping efficiency; at the same time, compared with direct high-power oxygen plasma treatment or UV / ozone oxidation and other two-dimensional material surface oxidation methods, the number of vacancies can be controlled by different powers and processing times during vacancy creation, thereby controlling the doping concentration after natural oxidation to achieve controllable doping of the two-dimensional material.
[0030] Second, the present invention bombards the surface of the two-dimensional material with high-energy hydrogen ions through a silicon dioxide mask layer that has been thinned by patterned etching. In this process, surface vacancies are precisely created on the surface of the two-dimensional material below the thin silicon dioxide layer that has been etched thin, and the thick silicon dioxide layer that has not been etched serves as a protective layer to prevent the two-dimensional material underneath from being bombarded by hydrogen ions. Subsequently, the surface vacancies of the two-dimensional material created by the partitions are subjected to oxidation doping treatment, ultimately achieving precise partitioned doping of the two-dimensional material and improving the electrical performance of the transistor.
[0031] Third, in the present invention, a thin layer of silicon dioxide is used as a mask layer, and high-energy hydrogen ions are used to non-contactly create vacancies on the surface of the two-dimensional material. Compared with the vacancy creation method of directly using high-energy ions to bombard the surface of the two-dimensional material, this method avoids excessive damage to the two-dimensional material, limits the vacancy creation to the surface of the two-dimensional material, and avoids the formation of defects due to lattice disorder inside the two-dimensional material that affects the performance.
[0032] Fourth, grow large-area, uniform two-dimensional material films, and 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.
[0033] Fifth, the present invention uses PMMA wet transfer to achieve the transfer of two-dimensional material thin film layers, 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 obtain a higher quality film.

Now, a specific example is given in which the substrate is sapphire, the gate dielectric layer is aluminum nitride, the two-dimensional material is molybdenum diselenide, and the source and drain electrode metal is Pt / Au to further describe the preparation process of the present invention in detail:
[0061] Step 1: Pretreatment of transistor substrate 1 .
[0062] Sapphire was selected as the transistor insulating substrate 1, and the substrate 1 was ultrasonically cleaned in acetone solution, isopropanol, and deionized water for 5 minutes each, and then dried with nitrogen.
[0063] Step 2: Chemical vapor deposition of the two-dimensional material to be transferred onto another sapphire substrate.
[0064] 2.1) The sapphire substrate was ultrasonically cleaned with acetone for 20 minutes, the cleaned substrate was rinsed with deionized water for 2 to 3 times, and then immersed in deionized water for ultrasonic cleaning for 15 minutes, and finally the treated substrate was blown dry with nitrogen;
[0065] 2.2) MoO3 is used as the molybdenum source, and high-purity selenium powder is used as the selenium source. The MoO3 powder is placed in a quartz boat in the high-temperature zone, and the high-purity selenium powder is placed in the low-temperature zone of the furnace tube near the exit. The cleaned sapphire substrates a and b are placed with the surface facing up in an area about a few centimeters away from the MoO3 powder to facilitate the growth of MoSe2;
[0066] 2.3) setting an argon-hydrogen mixed gas, with the gas flow rates of argon and hydrogen being 100 sccm and 10 sccm respectively, keeping the gas flow constant during the deposition process, turning on the tubular furnace, setting the heating rate to 15°C / min, heating the MoO3 powder area to 800°C, and the temperature of the selenium powder area to 300°C. When the temperature reaches the set value, keeping the constant temperature for about 5 minutes, at which time the selenium vapor reacts with MoO3 on the substrate to generate molybdenum diselenide, and growing the molybdenum diselenide film to be transferred;
[0067] 2.4) After the reaction is completed, turn off the heating and keep the argon gas flowing until the system cools naturally to room temperature to prevent the molybdenum diselenide from being oxidized at high temperature;
[0068] Step 3: Transfer the two-dimensional material grown on the sapphire substrate to the insulating substrate 1.
[0069] 3.1) Evenly drop a small amount of PMMA solution on the surface of the MoSe2 / sapphire substrate, use a spin coating device, spin coat at 4000 rpm for 1 minute, and then dry on a hot plate at 100°C for 10 minutes to solidify the PMMA layer;
[0070] 3.2) Dissolve 55g of KOH solute in 300ml of deionized water, and stir continuously until the solute is completely dissolved and the solution becomes a colorless and odorless liquid. Then, soak the sample in the prepared KOH solution for two hours to gradually separate the PMMA-MoSe2 layer from the substrate.
[0071] 3.3) Rinse the PMMA-MoSe2 layer in deionized water, use tweezers or other auxiliary tools to gently pick up the PMMA / MoSe2 film floating on the water surface and slowly place it on the target substrate, press gently with a glass rod or scraper to remove the bubbles between the PMMA / MoSe2 film and the substrate to ensure full contact and adhesion, and let it stand for several hours to allow the film to fully adhere to the substrate;
[0072] 3.4) Soak the sample in acetone to remove PMMA, then clean it with IPA, and finally blow dry it with nitrogen.
[0073] Step 4: Array the two-dimensional material on the insulating substrate 1 by photolithography and etching.

[0079] 5.4) After the deposition is completed, pure Ar gas is introduced to clean the chamber for 1 minute to prevent contamination.
[0080] Step 6: After photolithography, the silicon dioxide above the area to be doped with the two-dimensional material is etched into a thin layer.
[0081] Photoresist is coated on the surface of the sample, and the area to be etched is exposed and developed; CF4 plasma is used under the process conditions of CF4 gas flow rate of 30sccm, auxiliary gas Ar and O2 gas flow rates of 10sccm and 2sccm respectively, reaction pressure and RF power of 10mTorr and 100W respectively, and etching time of about 3min, to etch the silicon dioxide above the area to be doped with the two-dimensional material into a thin layer of about 10nm.
[0082] Step 7: Create vacancies on the surface of two-dimensional materials.
[0083] A sample covered with a patterned etched silicon dioxide mask layer was placed in a reactive ion etching chamber and exposed to hydrogen plasma. The RF power and the flow rate of hydrogen gas in the RIE chamber were maintained at 100 W and 50 sccm, respectively. The hydrogen ions partially penetrated the silicon dioxide thin layer and precisely created vacancies on the surface of the two-dimensional material below.
[0084] Step 8: Remove the silicon dioxide mask layer by wet etching.
[0085] Use a 1:6 diluted buffered oxide etching solution, gently immerse the sample in the solution, keep the liquid completely covering the sample surface, let it stand in the solution, or gently stir to promote uniform etching; remove the sample immediately after etching, quickly rinse with a large amount of deionized water to remove residual etching solution components, and finally rinse the sample with IPA and blow dry with nitrogen.
[0086] Step 9: Oxidative doping of vacancies.
[0087] The sample with the silicon dioxide layer removed is exposed to an oxygen flow to perform natural oxidation doping on the surface vacancies of the manufactured two-dimensional material, thereby obtaining a two-dimensional material channel layer 2 with partitioned doping of the transistor.

[0091] 10.3) Select Pt as the target and set the evaporation rate to To ensure the uniformity and adhesion of the platinum layer, the vacuum pump was turned on to evacuate to a high vacuum and then the electron beam current was gradually increased to start evaporating the Pt layer. After evaporation to a thickness of 5 nm in the source and drain contact area, the electron beam was turned off to stop evaporation, the target material was replaced with Au and the evaporation rate was set to Then, an Au layer is evaporated on the source and drain contact areas to a thickness of 25 nm;
[0092] 10.4) After the evaporation is completed, the sample is allowed to cool in the chamber for a few minutes, and then the air is slowly released to return to normal pressure, and then the sample is taken out and placed in acetone for stripping. After removing the excess metal layer, the source electrode 3 and the drain electrode 4 are formed.
[0093] Step 11: Aluminum nitride is formed as the gate dielectric layer 5 on the surface of the two-dimensional material channel layer and the source and drain electrodes by magnetron sputtering.

An aluminum nitride film is sputtered on a substrate 1 as a bottom layer 2 of a packaging protective layer;
[0095] 11.2) Install the aluminum nitride target on the target position of the magnetron sputtering equipment and start the vacuum pump until the chamber reaches 10 - 6 After the vacuum degree reaches below 100 Torr, nitrogen and argon are introduced, and the flow rate is adjusted to the target working pressure and sputtering is started after it is kept stable. The sputtering time is about 10 minutes, and a 50nm thick aluminum nitride film is deposited on the surface of the two-dimensional material channel layer and the source and drain electrodes as the gate dielectric layer 5;
[0096] 11.3) After the sample is cooled to room temperature in the vacuum chamber, nitrogen is introduced to return the chamber to atmospheric pressure, the chamber is opened and the sample is taken out.

[0099] 12.2) Mount the sample on the sample stage in the evaporation system and ensure that the sample surface is aligned with the target placement area;
[0100] 12.3) Select Pd as the target and set the evaporation rate to To ensure the uniformity and adhesion of the Pd layer, turn on the vacuum pump to evacuate to a high vacuum and gradually increase the electron beam current to start evaporating the Pd layer. After evaporating to a thickness of 5nm in the source and drain contact area, turn off the electron beam to stop evaporation, replace the target material with Au and set the evaporation rate to Then, an Au layer is evaporated on the source and drain contact areas to a thickness of 25 nm;
[0101] 12.4) After the evaporation is completed, the sample is allowed to cool in the chamber for a few minutes, and then the air is slowly released to return to normal pressure, and then the sample is taken out and placed in acetone for stripping, and the excess metal layer is removed to form a gate electrode 6.
