Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of microelectronics technology, specifically relating to a lateral homo-heterojunction memory device and its fabrication method. Background Technology

[0002] Two-dimensional materials, such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), possess atomic-level thickness, excellent physicochemical properties, and ultra-large specific surface area, making them widely applicable as conductive channels in semiconductor electronic devices. In memory devices, the unique atomic-level thickness of two-dimensional materials can effectively reduce device size, avoiding short-channel effects caused by size reduction. Furthermore, the low current required for two-dimensional devices to operate results in low power consumption, thus making them a next-generation semiconductor memory device.

[0003] Traditional heterojunctions formed by vertically stacking two-dimensional materials have large interface contact areas and numerous interface traps. In contrast, lateral heterojunctions formed by two-dimensional materials have smaller contact interfaces, thereby reducing the impact of interface defects on the device and improving its electrical performance. Therefore, fabricating a small-sized, low-power memory device has become a key issue in memory device research.

[0004] Existing research discloses a two-dimensional material heterojunction floating gate memory, comprising: a gate layer, multiple floating gate layers, a barrier layer, a channel layer, and an electrode layer. However, the fabrication method of this memory requires a series of process steps such as multiple stacking, photolithography, and etching of the two-dimensional material. These processes can cause varying degrees of damage to the interface and quality of the two-dimensional material, thereby further affecting the electrical performance of the memory.

[0023] S12. Perform photolithography and patterning etching on the first dielectric material to expose part of the surface of the substrate gate layer, thereby obtaining the first dielectric layer;

[0024] S13. Grow a second dielectric material on the exposed surface of the substrate gate layer and on the first dielectric layer;

[0025] S14. The second dielectric material on the first dielectric layer is patterned and etched to obtain the second dielectric layer.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0027] The lateral homo-heterojunction memory device of the present invention forms a composite dielectric layer through a first dielectric layer and a second dielectric layer.

[0030] Figures 3a-3g This is a schematic diagram illustrating the process of fabricating a lateral homo-heterojunction memory device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0031] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments, but the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a lateral homojunction-heterojunction memory device provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0034] The lateral homojunction memory device includes: a substrate gate layer 1, a first dielectric layer 2, a second dielectric layer 3, a two-dimensional semiconductor channel layer 4, and ohmic electrodes 5. The first dielectric layer 2 and the second dielectric layer 3 are both located on the substrate gate layer 1 and are in contact with each other; the two-dimensional semiconductor channel layer 4 is located on the first dielectric layer 2 and the second dielectric layer 3; and the ohmic electrodes 5 are located at both ends of the two-dimensional semiconductor channel layer 4.

[0035] Substrate gate layer 1 serves as both the substrate and the gate, acting as a gate control layer. The material of substrate gate layer 1 includes heavily doped silicon, with a doping concentration of 1 × 10⁻⁶. 17 -1×10 19 cm -3 .

[0036] The first dielectric layer 2 and the second dielectric layer 3 together form a composite dielectric layer. The thicknesses of the first dielectric layer 2 and the second dielectric layer 3 can be equal or unequal at the nanometer level; preferably, the thicknesses of the first dielectric layer 2 and the second dielectric layer 3 are equal. The thickness of both the first dielectric layer 2 and the second dielectric layer 3 is 10-100 nm.

[0037] In the first dielectric layer 2 and the second dielectric layer 3, at least one dielectric layer is made of a ferroelectric material. That is, the materials of the first dielectric layer 2 and the second dielectric layer 3 can both be ferroelectric materials, or the material of the first dielectric layer 2 can be a ferroelectric material while the material of the second dielectric layer 3 is not a ferroelectric material, or the material of the first dielectric layer 2 can be not a ferroelectric material while the material of the second dielectric layer 3 is a ferroelectric material. Specifically, the ferroelectric material includes one or more of hafnium zirconium oxide, barium titanate, and α-phase indium triselenide (α-In2Se3).

[0038] This invention avoids the lattice mismatch problem caused by heterojunction material contact by preparing a composite dielectric layer, reduces interface defects, and thus improves the electrical performance of the storage.

[0039] The two-dimensional semiconductor channel layer 4 is located above the composite dielectric layer, covering the contact area between the first dielectric layer 2 and the second dielectric layer 3. The material of the two-dimensional semiconductor channel layer 4 comprises several layers of two-dimensional semiconductor material, including any one of molybdenum disulfide, tungsten disulfide, and tungsten diselenide; the number of these layers is less than or equal to 10, meaning the material of the two-dimensional semiconductor channel layer 4 is a single-layer or few-layer two-dimensional semiconductor material, where "few-layer" refers to a number of layers less than or equal to 10. The thickness of the two-dimensional semiconductor channel layer 4 is 0.35-10 nm.

[0040] The material of the ohmic electrode 5 includes one or more of metal X and metal Au. Metal X includes any one of Ti, Cr, Pt, and Pd, and the thickness of metal X is 5-10 nm, while the thickness of metal Au is 30-80 nm.

[0041] In this embodiment, the lateral homogeneous heterojunction memory device forms a composite dielectric layer through a first dielectric layer and a second dielectric layer. At least one dielectric layer in the composite dielectric layer is made of a ferroelectric material. This composite dielectric layer modulates the dielectric and electrostatic gate of the two-dimensional semiconductor channel layer stacked above it, resulting in the formation of a lateral heterojunction within the homogeneous material of the two-dimensional semiconductor channel layer. The cross-section of the formed lateral heterojunction is located at the interface between the first and second dielectric layers, and the interface consists of only one line corresponding to the interface between the first and second dielectric layers. This reduces defects at the interface. Furthermore, since the heterojunction is formed using the same material, there is no lattice mismatch problem between different materials, improving the electrical performance of the memory. In summary, this embodiment uses a homogeneous lateral heterojunction, which avoids the impact of lattice mismatch and interface defects on the electrical performance of the memory, thereby improving its electrical performance.
