Description

Method for manufacturing a thin film of a chalcogenide compound

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a chalcogenide compound thin film.

[0002] "The present invention is derived from research conducted as part of the Ministry of Science and ICT's individual basic research (Project unique number: 1711194081, Subproject number: 00208311, Research project name: Research on building a band structure control system for one-dimensional linear structure transition metal-chalcogenide M2N3X8 series compound semiconductor materials, Host organization: Ajou University Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation, Research period: 2023.03.01 ~ 2024.02.29)."

[0003] A chalcogenide is a compound composed of at least one chalcogen ion (an element from group 16 (VIA) of the periodic table, such as sulfur (S), selenium (Se), and tellurium (Te)) and at least one electropositive element.

[0004] Chalcogenide compounds, which are composed of compounds of binary or higher systems, are known to have various properties that can easily change from crystalline to amorphous, semiconductor to metallic, ionic to electronic conductors, etc., by external electrical stimulation, heat, and light energy stimulation. Due to these material characteristics with various properties, they are widely used as thin film materials for information storage / processing, thin film materials for solar cells, thin film materials for ionic conductors, and thin film materials for information recognition / display.

[0005] Known methods used to synthesize chalcogenide compound thin films include Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), Chemical Vapor Transport (CVT), and Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE).

[0006] However, the above-mentioned synthetic methods are difficult to apply industrially due to difficult process conditions and contact resistance problems.

[0007] Specifically, in the case of CVD and CVT, high energy is required for the evaporation of positive elements, so it is a high-temperature synthesis process. If the synthesis temperature is lowered through organic precursors, catalysts, etc., the quality deteriorates due to the mixing of impurities, and there is a limitation that large-area growth is difficult.

[0008] In addition, in the case of MBE, an ultra-high vacuum must be maintained, and a raw material supply device such as a Knudsen cell must be used for each material, resulting in high equipment costs and limitations such as a low growth rate.

[0009] Accordingly, for the industrialization of calogenide compounds, research on a manufacturing method that can achieve large-scale growth at low cost, rapid growth rate, and excellent quality is essential.

[0018] In addition, a method for manufacturing a chalcogenide compound thin film can be provided, wherein the deposition step further includes a re-evaporation step of re-evaporating residual raw material by performing a deposition substrate heating process of heating the deposition substrate to satisfy a heating temperature range of 20 to 200°C.

[0043] <Method for manufacturing chalcogenide compound thin films>

[0044] FIG. 1 is a drawing for explaining a simultaneous deposition device according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining a method for manufacturing a chalcogenide compound thin film according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0045] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a method for manufacturing a chalcogenide compound thin film according to an embodiment of the present invention (S10) may utilize a simultaneous deposition device (10) including a deposition chamber (100) that maintains a preset vacuum level; a deposition rotation unit (200) provided with a deposition substrate (210) and disposed within the deposition chamber (100); an E-beam evaporation unit (300) that is disposed within the deposition chamber (100) and evaporates a positively charged material as a raw material; a thermal evaporation unit (400) that is disposed within the deposition chamber (100) and evaporates a chalcogen material as a raw material; and a deposition sensor (not shown) that senses the deposition amount and deposition speed of the positively charged material and the chalcogen material deposited on the deposition substrate (210).

[0046] In addition, a method for manufacturing a chalcogenide compound thin film according to one embodiment of the present invention (S10) includes a deposition step (S100) of simultaneously depositing a positive material and a chalcogen material on the deposition substrate (210) through a simultaneous deposition process utilizing the simultaneous deposition device (10) to obtain a chalcogenide compound thin film having a preset composition.

[0047] First, referring to FIG. 1, the simultaneous deposition device (10) may be a device that independently and simultaneously evaporates a positive element and a chalcogen element (S, Se, Te) by utilizing an E-beam and a thermal evaporator, respectively, inside a chamber maintained at high vacuum, so that they are synthesized on a heated substrate.

[0048] That is, the simultaneous deposition device (10) may be a device for synthesizing a chalcogenide, which is a compound composed of at least one group 16 (chalcogen) element and one or more positive elements.

[0049] Specifically, only pure positively charged substances and chalcogen substances are used in a high vacuum environment, and each raw material can be stored within a high vacuum chamber, thereby preventing oxidation and adsorption, enabling the synthesis of high-purity chalcogenide compounds.

[0050] In addition, since the vapor pressure of chalcogenide is high at about 1 mTorr at 200°C, the substrate temperature can be increased to effectively prevent the residue of chalcogen material that did not participate in the synthesis.

[0051] In addition, since the E-beam and thermal sources can be controlled independently, the deposition rate of the positive material and chalcogen material can be controlled during synthesis, and the temperature of the substrate can be controlled to easily synthesize high-quality thin films with various composition ratios on the phase diagram.

[0052] Furthermore, by arranging multiple positively charged materials inside the e-bema, it is possible to synthesize heterogeneous chalcogenide compounds in situ within the process or to synthesize multiple layers of chalcogenide compound thin films with different composition ratios, making it versatile and highly expandable.

[0053] Meanwhile, the deposition substrate (210) may be any one substrate selected from among a p-Si substrate, an Al2O3 substrate, a Si / SiO2 substrate, and a SiO2 substrate, but is not limited thereto.

[0054] Next, referring to FIG. 2, the method for manufacturing the chalcogenide compound thin film (S10) can be performed through a simultaneous deposition process using the simultaneous deposition device (10) described above.

[0055] The above simultaneous deposition process may be a process for synthesizing a chalcogenide compound thin film having various composition ratios by utilizing an evaporation source placed inside a chamber to evaporate a positive material and a chalcogen material, maintaining a high vacuum inside the chamber, heating the substrate to a temperature required for compound formation, and controlling the deposition rate ratio of the positive material and the chalcogen material.

[0056] Specifically, in the deposition step (S100), the positive material may be at least one material selected from the group consisting of Ti, Ni, Cu, Ge, Mo, Sn, Sb, and Bi, and the chalcogen material may be at least one material selected from the group consisting of S, Se, and Te.

[0057] In addition, in the deposition step (S100), the positive material and the chalcogen material are simple element materials composed of only one type of element.

[0058] In a method (S10) for manufacturing a chalcogenide compound thin film according to one embodiment of the present invention, unlike conventional deposition equipment, a simultaneous deposition device (10) is utilized, thereby overcoming the limitation of having to use a metal compound as a metal precursor to evaporate a positive material having a high evaporation temperature, and having the advantage of being able to use a pure positive material as a metal precursor.

[0059] In addition, the deposition step (S100) is performed within the deposition chamber (100), and the vacuum level within the deposition chamber (100) is 10 -6 ~ 10 -5 It can satisfy the range of Torr.

[0060] Specifically, in the above deposition step (S100), the deposition chamber part (100) is 10 -6 ~ 10 -5 Maintaining a vacuum level that satisfies the range of Torr, this vacuum level range can lower the temperature at which the chalcogenide material can exist in the gas phase.

[0061] More specifically, the vacuum level in the deposition chamber (100) is 10 -6 If it is lower than Torr, the problem arises that the cost for maintaining vacuum increases rapidly, and the vacuum level in the deposition chamber (100) is 10 -5 Above Torr, the temperature range in which the chalcogenide can remain in a gaseous state may become too high, which may cause problems.

[0062] In addition, in the deposition step (S100), the chalcogenide compound thin film can be deposited so as to satisfy a deposition rate range of 0.3 to 60 nm / min, and in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the deposition rate of the chalcogenide compound thin film is 0.3 to 30 nm / min.

[0063] If the deposition rate of the above chalcogenide compound thin film is lower than 0.3 nm / min, the productivity decreases rapidly, and if the deposition rate is higher than 60 nm / min, there is a problem in that it is difficult to obtain a large-area thin film of excellent quality.

[0064] In addition, in the deposition step (S100), the composition of the chalcogenide compound thin film can be selectively controlled by adjusting the deposition rate ratio of the positive material and the chalcogen material.

[0065] That is, when the composition ratio of the chalcogenide compound changes depending on the process requirements, various process requirements can be responded to by simply changing the deposition rate ratio of the positive material and the chalcogen material without the need to add separate process conditions.

[0066] Furthermore, by changing the types of positive and negative substances, chalcogenide compounds with various composition ratios can be easily synthesized.

[0067] Specifically, in the deposition step (S100), the deposition speed of the positive material and the chalcogen material can satisfy a range of 0.05 to 10 Å / s, and in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the deposition speed of the positive material and the chalcogen material satisfies a range of 0.05 to 5 Å / s.

[0068] More specifically, the deposition rate ratio of the positive material and the chalcogen material may be 1 to 7:1 to 4.

[0069] In a method (S10) for manufacturing a chalcogenide compound thin film according to one embodiment of the present invention, the deposition step (S100) may further include a re-evaporation step (S110) of performing a deposition substrate heating process for heating the deposition substrate (210) to satisfy a heating temperature range of 20 to 200°C to re-evaporate residual raw materials.

[0070] Specifically, the above re-evaporation step (S110) is performed to prevent surface adsorption of raw materials, and is a step to suppress residual raw materials that do not participate in the synthesis reaction by preventing surface adsorption.

[0071] In the method for manufacturing a chalcogenide compound thin film according to one embodiment of the present invention (S10), the reaction mechanism of the raw material including the positive material and the chalcogen material can be explained by the Eley-Rideal Reaction.

[0072] Specifically, the Eley-Rideal Reaction is the adsorption rate (J) of the raw material chalcogenide. Abs ) is less than 0, and more specifically, it can occur when the re-evaporation rate of the chalcogen substance is greater than the deposition rate of the chalcogen substance.

[0073] Here, the adsorption rate of the chalcogen substance (J Abs ) is the deposition rate of the chalcogenide material (J Inc ) value of the re-evaporation rate of the chalcogenide (J T Vap ) is the value minus the value.

[0074] Through this Eley-Rideal Reaction, residual chalcogen material is prevented from being adsorbed on the substrate surface, and adsorption of the product after the gas phase reaction occurs, thereby obtaining a chalcogenide compound thin film with excellent composition ratio and surface homogeneity.

[0075] Furthermore, by deriving a heating temperature range of the substrate to induce an Eley-Rideal Reaction and setting the deposition substrate (210) to be heated within the derived heating temperature range, a gas phase reaction of the chalcogen material can be induced to obtain a high-quality thin film.

[0076] In a method (S10) for manufacturing a chalcogenide compound thin film according to one embodiment of the present invention, the deposition step (S100) may further include a step (S120) of deriving a heating temperature range for performing the deposition substrate heating process prior to the re-evaporation step (S110).

[0077] The step (S120) of deriving the above heating temperature range may be a step of deriving the heating temperature range of the deposition substrate (210) so that the re-evaporation rate value of the chalcogenide material is greater than the deposition rate value of the chalcogenide material, in order to obtain a chalcogenide compound thin film having a specific composition ratio according to process requirements, as described above.

[0078] That is, the step (S120) of deriving the above heating temperature range is the adsorption rate (J) of the raw material, the chalcogen substance. Abs ) may be a step of deriving a heating temperature range of the deposition substrate (210) so that the temperature is less than 0.

[0079] More specifically, the step (S120) of deriving the heating temperature range is to determine the deposition rate value (J) of the chalcogen material deposited on the deposition substrate (210) through the deposition sensor. Inc ) obtaining step (S211), adhesion coefficient (α) of the deposition substrate (210), vapor pressure (P) of the chalcogen material T Vap ), the vacuum level (P) of the above deposition chamber (100) Cham ) and the heating temperature (T) of the deposition substrate (210), the re-evaporation rate value (J) of the chalcogen material re-evaporated on the deposition substrate (210) T Vap) may include a step (S212) of obtaining a chalcogenide material, and a step (S213) of deriving a range of a heating temperature (T) of the deposition substrate (210) so that the re-evaporation rate value of the obtained chalcogenide material is greater than the deposition rate value of the obtained chalcogenide material.

[0080] The adsorption rate of the raw material, chalcogenide, can be expressed by the following mathematical formula 1.

[0081] [Mathematical Formula 1]

[0082] J Abs =J Inc -J T Vap

[0083] (J Abs : Adsorption rate of the substance, J Inc : Deposition rate of material, J T Vap : re-evaporation rate of the substance)

[0084]

[0085] At this time, J T Vap can be expressed as a function of the adhesion coefficient of the deposition substrate, the vapor pressure of the material, the chamber pressure, and the temperature, and can be expressed by the following mathematical expression 2.

[0086] [Equation 2]

[0087]

[0088] (N: Number of gas molecules, A: Surface Area [m 2 ], α: Sticking coefficient(0≤α≤1), N A : Avogadro constant[mol -1 ], P Cham : Chamber Pressure[Pa], P T Vap : Vapor pressure of element at (T) K[Pa], M: Molar mass[kg mol -1 ], T: Temperature[K])

[0089]

[0090] Adsorption rate of chalcogenide (J Abs ) is greater than 0, the chalcogen substance is adsorbed on the substrate surface, and the adsorption rate of the chalcogen substance (J Abs ) is less than 0, the chalcogen substance is not adsorbed on the substrate surface and exists in a gaseous state. That is, when the adhesion coefficient of the deposition substrate, the vapor pressure of the chalcogen substance, and the chamber pressure are determined, the adsorption rate (J) of the chalcogen substance is controlled by adjusting the heating temperature of the deposition substrate (210). Abs ) can control the size and sign.

[0091] In other words, the step (S120) of deriving the above heating temperature range is the adsorption rate (J) of the chalcogen substance. Abs ) may be a step of finding a heating temperature range of the deposition substrate (210) so that it is less than 0.

[0092] In a method for manufacturing a chalcogenide compound thin film according to another embodiment of the present invention (S10), the re-evaporation step (S110) may be a step of re-evaporating residual raw material by performing a deposition substrate heating process that heats the deposition substrate (210) to satisfy a heating temperature range of 200 to 500°C.

[0093] In a method for manufacturing a chalcogenide compound thin film according to another embodiment of the present invention (S10), the reaction mechanism of the raw material including the positive material and the chalcogen material can be explained as a gas-phase reaction.

[0094] Specifically, the gas-phase reaction is the adsorption rate (J) of the raw materials, positive substances and chalcogen substances. Abs ) is a reaction that occurs when all are less than 0.

[0095] Through this gas-phase reaction, residual raw materials are prevented from being adsorbed on the substrate surface, and adsorption of the product after the gas-phase reaction occurs, thereby obtaining a chalcogenide compound thin film with excellent composition ratio and surface homogeneity.

[0096] Looking at the heating temperature range of the substrate for inducing a gas-phase reaction, the range for a positive material is 200 to 500°C, and the range for a chalcogen material is 20 to 200°C. Therefore, by setting the heating temperature range based on the positive material, both the positive material and the chalcogen material can induce a gas-phase reaction, thereby obtaining a high-quality thin film.

[0097] In addition, in the method (S10) for manufacturing a chalcogenide compound thin film according to another embodiment of the present invention, the step (S120) of deriving the heating temperature range may be a step of deriving the heating temperature range of the deposition substrate (210) so that the re-evaporation rate value of the positive material is greater than the deposition rate value of the positive material in order to obtain a chalcogenide compound thin film having a specific composition ratio according to process requirements.

[0098] That is, the step (S120) of deriving the above heating temperature range is the adsorption rate (J) of the positive substance. Abs ) may be a step of deriving a heating temperature range of the deposition substrate (210) so that the temperature is less than 0.

[0099] More specifically, the step (S120) of deriving the heating temperature range is to obtain the deposition rate value (J) of the positive material deposited on the deposition substrate (210) through the deposition sensor. Inc ) and the adhesion coefficient (α) of the deposition substrate (210), the vapor pressure (P) of the positive material T Vap ), the vacuum level (P) of the above deposition chamber (100) Cham ) and the heating temperature (T) of the deposition substrate (210), the re-evaporation rate value (J) of the positive material re-evaporated on the deposition substrate (210) T Vap ) and a step of deriving a heating temperature (T) range of the deposition substrate (210) so that the re-evaporation rate value of the obtained positive material is greater than the deposition rate value of the obtained positive material.

[0100] Adsorption rate of positive substances (J Abs ) is greater than 0, the positive material is adsorbed on the substrate surface, and the adsorption rate of the positive material (J Abs ) is less than 0, the positive material is not adsorbed on the substrate surface and exists in a gaseous state. That is, when the adhesion coefficient of the deposition substrate, the vapor pressure of the positive material, and the chamber pressure are determined, the adsorption rate (J) of the positive material is controlled by adjusting the heating temperature of the deposition substrate (210). Abs ) can control the size and sign.

[0101] In other words, the step (S120) of deriving the above heating temperature range is the adsorption rate (J) of the positive substance. Abs ) may be a step of finding a heating temperature range of the deposition substrate (210) so that it is less than 0.

[0102] In addition, in the deposition step (S100), the chalcogenide compound thin film may include at least one material selected from a saturated composition chalcogenide compound and a non-saturated composition chalcogenide compound.

[0103] Specifically, the chalcogenide compound thin film may include at least one material selected from the group consisting of MoS2, NiS, Ni3S4, NiS2, SnS2, SnS, Ti2S, TiS, TiS2, TiS3, Cu2S, CuS, GeS, GeS2, Bi2S3, Sb2S3, MoSe2, NiSe, Ni3Se4, NiSe2, SnSe, SnSe2, TiSe2, Cu3Se2, CuSe, CuSe2, GeSe, GeSe2, Bi2Se, Bi4Se3, BiSe, Bi2Se3, Sb2Se3, MoTe2, Ni3Te2, NiTe, NiTe2, SnTe, Ti5Te4, TiTe, Ti3Te4, TiTe2, Cu7Te4, Cu2Te, CuTe, CuTe2, GeTe, Bi7Te3, Bi2Te, Bi4Te3, BiTe, Bi2Te3, and Sb2Te3.

[0104] In addition, in the deposition step (S100), the chalcogenide compound thin film may be formed as a single layer or multiple layers.

[0105] Specifically, in the method (S10) for manufacturing a chalcogenide compound thin film according to one embodiment of the present invention, the deposition step (S100) may be repeated multiple times, and for example, a different raw material may be used each time the deposition step (S100) is repeated multiple times, that is, the simultaneous deposition process may be repeated while changing the raw material.

[0106] Accordingly, through the present invention, two or more chalcogenide compound thin films having different compositions can be laminated, i.e., a chalcogenide compound thin film composed of multiple layers can be obtained.

[0107] FIG. 3 is a drawing for briefly explaining a chalcogenide compound thin film according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0108] Figure 3a) is a drawing showing a 3D schematic diagram of TMDC, and Figure 3b) is a diagram showing the composition ratio that can be formed through a combination of each element in the periodic table showing positive elements and chalcogen elements.

[0109] Referring to FIG. 3a), the chalcogenide compound thin film of the present invention may include TMDC, and the TMDC is a material formed through the bonding of a transition metal atom (M) and a chalcogen atom (X), and may have various physical properties such as a semimetal and a semiconductor depending on the combination of the transition metal and the chalcogen.

[0110] Most TMDCs have a two-dimensional layered structure, and the bonds between each layer are maintained through weak van der Waals bonds. This weak bonding energy allows them to be easily separated into two-dimensional sheets, and the band gap can be easily controlled by varying the number of layers.

[0111] In particular, semiconductor TMDCs such as MoS2 and WSe2 have higher carrier mobility than conventional silicon and have a thin thickness of several nm, so research into next-generation semiconductor devices is actively being conducted.

[0112] Referring to Fig. 3b), it can be confirmed that the formation of chalcogen compounds with various combinations and composition ratios is possible. Specifically, it is shown that various combinations between the chalcogen element indicated with an orange background and the positive element with a blue background can be formed, and depending on the type of positive element, the chalcogen compounds that can be formed are indicated above each positive element with a 1:1 composition in light blue, a 1:2 composition in red, and a 2:3 composition in blue, confirming that the synthesis of various compositions is possible.
