Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of microelectronics and optoelectronics, and particularly relates to a GeSe-based double-heterojunction CMOS type photoelectric detector and a manufacturing method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Generally, a CMOS inverter needs to have a bipolar characteristic thin film transistor (one N-type thin film transistor and one P-type thin film transistor), and the two transistor drain electrodes are connected and controlled by the same gate electrode.
[0003] At present, most of the CMOS inverters are realized by using the same semiconductor material as the active layer to realize the bipolar characteristic, for example, for a semiconductor material, different types of carrier transport can be formed by using the different work functions of the asymmetric source / drain electrode metal materials; bipolar transistors can also be formed by the attraction and repulsion of different adjacent layers to the carriers of the active layer to prepare CMOS inverters, such as the patent CN110707042A mentioned above, which uses the increase of electron-philic / donating blocking layers on CNT (carbon nanotube) to form a transistor with bipolar characteristics, but it has the performance defects of small carrier mobility and low photoelectric response rate, and the difficulty of CNT (carbon nanotube) chirality control is large, causing the manufacturing process to be complex.
[0004] The compound semiconductor materials commonly used for preparing TFTs (thin film transistors) are mostly electron-conducting (n-type), and the hole-conducting (p-type) materials matching the performance of n-type are extremely rare. The p-type semiconductor materials commonly used at present include graphene, CNT (carbon nanotube), WSe2, BP and some organic materials through a doping process. The two-dimensional nanomaterials represented by graphene have excellent optical and electrical properties, and the carrier mobility at room temperature can reach 104, but graphene lacks intrinsic band gap, which is not conducive to the construction of photoelectronic devices with high detection efficiency, large on-off ratio and low power consumption; black phosphorus has high carrier mobility and suitable band gap, but black phosphorus is easily oxidized in air. Although most organic semiconductors exhibit p-type conduction, the hole mobility of organic TFTs is low, and the device life, uniformity between devices and stability of the device in an oxygen atmosphere and humid environment are poor, and the processability of organic materials is also poor. Among a series of p-type semiconductor materials, GeSe is theoretically considered to be the only material with a direct band gap, and has high carrier mobility and high stability. These characteristics make GeSe the most promising candidate material in the field of infrared spectral detection. However, since the band gap of GeSe is 1.1-1.2 eV, they usually have excellent photosensitive properties in the visible band and lack sufficient response in the infrared region, so the patent novelly proposes to construct a CMOS inverter with a heterojunction using GeSe as a p-type active layer semiconductor material, so that the inverter has excellent performance in the infrared band. In addition, the inverter based on the heterojunction structure greatly improves the carrier mobility, has high detection rate and high response rate, and the process is relatively simple and the cost is low, which has great potential in infrared light detection and driving. SUMMARY
[0005] In view of the deficiencies mentioned in the above technical background, the purpose of the present application is to provide a GeSe-based double-heterojunction CMOS photoelectric detector and a manufacturing method.
[0006] The purpose of the present application can be achieved by the following technical solutions.

[0008] Furthermore, if the first gate electrode is adjacent to the P-type semiconductor active layer of the PN heterojunction, then together with the first source, the first drain, and the PN heterojunction, it constitutes an NMOS phototransistor. If the second gate electrode is adjacent to the N-type semiconductor photosensitive layer of the PN heterojunction, then together with the second source, the second drain, and the PN heterojunction, it constitutes a PMOS phototransistor. The PMOS phototransistor and the NMOS phototransistor together constitute a CMOS phototransistor inverter.
[0009] Furthermore, the gate electrode can be located at the top as a top gate or at the bottom as a bottom gate.
[0010] Furthermore, the P-type semiconductor active layer is made of GeSe two-dimensional nanomaterial, and the N-type semiconductor photosensitive layer is made of PbSe, PbS, PbO, IGZO, MoS2, CdSe, ZnO, SnO, In2O3, InZnO, or IGO.
[0011] Furthermore, the insulating layer is located between the gate and the adjacent source (drain) electrodes of the two PN heterojunctions. The insulating layer can be a solid insulating layer made of silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, aluminum oxide, etc., using chemical vapor deposition, atomic layer deposition or magnetron sputtering, or an organic gate insulating layer made of PMMA, Su8 or other sol-gels using spin coating, printing or dispensing methods.
[0012] Furthermore, the substrate material is silicon wafer, glass, quartz, ceramic, plastic, polyimide, or polyethylene terephthalate.
[0013] Furthermore, the aforementioned CMOS photodetector includes a double PN heterojunction photoinverter.
[0014] A method for manufacturing a photoelectric inverter, the method of using the inverter includes the following steps:
[0015] Step 1: Select a suitable substrate and fabricate the first gate electrode and the second gate electrode on the substrate, and connect the two gate electrodes together;
[0016] Step 2: Cover the two gate electrodes with an insulating layer;
[0017] Step 3: Fabricate the first source electrode and the second source electrode on the insulating layer;
[0018] Step 4: Fabricate the first P-type semiconductor active layer, pattern the two-dimensional nanomaterial GeSe of the active layer, and position and distribute it at the location;
[0019] Step 5: Fabricate the second N-type semiconductor photosensitive layer, pattern the photosensitive layer material, and position and distribute it at the location;
[0020] Step 6: Form a first semiconductor photosensitive layer on the first semiconductor active layer;
[0021] Step 7: Form a first semiconductor active layer on the second semiconductor photosensitive layer;
[0022] Step 8: Form a first drain electrode that contacts the first semiconductor photosensitive layer and a second drain electrode that contacts the second semiconductor active layer, and connect the first drain electrode and the second drain electrode.
[0023] Furthermore, the semiconductor material layer is uniformly distributed on the entire device using a spin coating process, and then the semiconductor material in non-required areas is removed by an etching process, or magnetron sputtering is performed using a mask, or ink is applied using a corresponding material for targeted ink-splash printing, or photolithography is used to fabricate the material layer.
[0024] Furthermore, the gate electrode and source / drain electrode are formed on the substrate by methods such as silver ion inkjet printing or laser etching.
[0025] Furthermore, Comparative column 2 includes a first source, a first P-type GeSe semiconductor active layer, a first N-type semiconductor photosensitive layer, a first drain, an insulating layer, a gate, an insulating layer, a second source, a second P-type GeSe semiconductor active layer, a second N-type semiconductor photosensitive layer, and a second drain;
[0026] Furthermore, the first gate electrode is connected to the second gate electrode, or the NOMS phototransistor and the PMOS phototransistor share a single gate electrode.
[0027] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0028] This invention novelly proposes a CMOS inverter with a double heterojunction constructed using GeSe as the p-type active layer material, and provides three corresponding examples. The inverter exhibits excellent performance, with high carrier mobility, high detectivity, and high photoresponse, and allows for controllable gate voltage.
[0029] Example A employs a bottom-gate structure. Compared to Comparative Example 1, where the gate and insulating layer are located on top, the semiconductor photosensitive layer (semiconductor active layer) is directly deposited on the insulating layer. During fabrication, the insulating layer can be modified to alter the semiconductor film structure and morphology, resulting in a high-quality semiconductor layer and thus improving the device's carrier mobility. Furthermore, in Example A, the semiconductor layer is exposed to the testing environment without any covering, leading to higher detectivity and photoresponse of the fabricated device. Comparative Example 1, with its multilayer structure, has a complex fabrication process, requiring advanced experimental equipment and advanced technology, making it difficult to implement. Based on the above analysis, the bottom-gate structure in Example A offers significant advantages.
[0030] A CMOS inverter with a double heterojunction, constructed using GeSe as the p-type active layer material based on the bottom-gate structure in Example A, exhibits high carrier mobility (hole mobility approximately 1 cm² / vs), high detectivity (5.8 × 10¹⁴ Jones), and high photoresponse (1.2 × 10⁶ V / W), enabling controllable gate voltage. Furthermore, the gate voltage can amplify and stabilize the photocurrent with extreme rise times (0.1 ms) and fall times (0.3 ms). Through the IV conversion function of the CMOS inverter, the photocurrent is directly converted into a photovoltage signal and output to the back-end signal acquisition circuit. In addition, the process of this patent is relatively simple and low-cost, showing great potential in infrared light detection and driving. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0040] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0041] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner", "around", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting this invention.
[0042] Example A: This example provides a structural design and fabrication method for a double heterostructure optoelectronic CMOS inverter with the gate on the bottom side. A first gate electrode A21 and a second gate electrode A22 (the two gate electrodes are connected), an insulating layer A3, a first source electrode A41, a second source electrode A42, a first P-type GeSe semiconductor active layer A51, a first N-type semiconductor photosensitive layer A61, a second N-type semiconductor photosensitive layer A52, a second P-type GeSe semiconductor active layer A62, a first drain electrode A71, and a second drain electrode A72 (the two drain electrodes are connected) are formed on a substrate A1.
[0043] The specific fabrication method of the above-mentioned bottom-gate dual heterostructure optoelectronic CMOS inverter includes the following steps:
[0044] Step AS1: Select a suitable substrate and fabricate a first gate electrode A21 and a second gate electrode A22 on the substrate, and connect the two gate electrodes together;
[0045] Step AS2: Cover the two gate electrodes A21 and A22 with an insulating layer A3;
[0046] Step AS3: Fabricate the first source electrode A41 and the second source electrode A42 on the insulating layer A3;
[0047] Step AS4: Fabricate the first P-type semiconductor active layer, pattern the two-dimensional nanomaterial GeSe of the active layer, and position it at A51;
[0048] Step AS5: Fabricate the second N-type semiconductor photosensitive layer, pattern the photosensitive layer material, and position and distribute it at A52;
[0049] Step AS6: A first semiconductor photosensitive layer A61 is formed on the first semiconductor active layer A51;
[0050] Step AS7: A first semiconductor active layer A62 is formed on the second semiconductor photosensitive layer A52;
[0051] Step AS8: Form a first drain A71 that contacts the first semiconductor photosensitive layer and a second drain A72 that contacts the second semiconductor active layer, and connect the first drain to the second drain.
[0052] Working principle: The substrate A1 material should be an insulating material, such as silicon wafer, glass, quartz, ceramic, plastic, polyimide, polyethylene terephthalate, etc. Gate electrodes A21, A22 and source / drain electrodes A41, A42, A71, A72 can be formed on the substrate by methods such as silver ion inkjet printing or laser etching; insulating layer A3 can be a solid insulating layer such as silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, or aluminum oxide, formed by chemical vapor deposition, atomic layer deposition, or magnetron sputtering, or it can be an organic gate insulating layer such as PMMA or Su8 sol-gel manufactured by spin coating, printing, or dispensing methods; the first P-type semiconductor active layer A51 and the second P-type semiconductor active layer A62 can be selected from the P-type two-dimensional nanomaterial GeSe; the first N-type semiconductor photosensitive layer A61 and the second N-type semiconductor photosensitive layer A52 can be selected from PbSe, PbS, PbO, IGZO, MoS2, CdSe, ZnO, SnO, In2O3, InZnO, IGO, etc. as photosensitive semiconductor materials. Fabricating the A51, A52, A61, and A62 material layers can be achieved by spin-coating to uniformly distribute the semiconductor material across the entire device, followed by etching to remove the semiconductor material from undesirable areas. Alternatively, magnetron sputtering using a mask or targeted inkjet printing or photolithography can be employed. If the material layers of the first and second transistors are swapped—that is, the order of A51 and A61, and the order of A52 and A62 are interchanged top to bottom (equivalent to swapping the positions of the left and right MOS transistors)—this also falls within the scope of this example.
[0053] Comparative Example 1: This example provides a structural design and fabrication method of a double heterostructure optoelectronic CMOS inverter with the gate on the top side. A first drain B21 and a second drain B22 (the two drain electrodes are connected), a first P-type GeSe semiconductor active layer B31, a first N-type semiconductor photosensitive layer B41, a second N-type semiconductor photosensitive layer B32, a second P-type GeSe semiconductor active layer B42, a first source B51, a second source B52, an insulating layer B6, a first gate electrode B71, and a second gate electrode B72 (the two gate electrodes are connected) are formed on a substrate B1.

[0059] Step BS5: A first semiconductor active layer B42 is formed on the second semiconductor photosensitive layer B32;
[0060] Step BS6: Form a first source electrode B51 that is in contact with the first semiconductor photosensitive layer and a second source electrode B52 that is in contact with the second semiconductor active layer.
[0061] Step BS7: Cover the two source electrodes B51 and B52 with an insulating layer B6;
[0062] Step BS8: Fabricate a first gate electrode B71 and a second gate electrode B72 on the insulating layer B6, and connect the two gate electrodes together.
[0063] Working principle: The substrate B1 material should be an insulating material, which can be silicon wafer, glass, quartz, ceramic, plastic, polyimide, polyethylene terephthalate, etc. Drain electrodes B21 and B22, source electrodes B51 and B52, and gate electrodes B71 and B72 can be formed on the substrate by methods such as silver ion inkjet printing or laser etching; the insulating layer B6 can be a solid insulating layer such as silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, or aluminum oxide, formed by chemical vapor deposition, atomic layer deposition, or magnetron sputtering, or it can be an organic gate insulating layer of PMMA, Su8, or other sol-gels manufactured by spin coating, printing, or dispensing methods; the first P-type semiconductor active layer B31 and the second P-type semiconductor active layer B42 can be selected from the P-type two-dimensional nanomaterial GeSe; the first N-type semiconductor photosensitive layer B41 and the second N-type semiconductor photosensitive layer B32 can be selected from PbSe, PbS, PbO, IGZO, MoS2, CdSe, ZnO, SnO, In2O3, InZnO, IGO, etc. as photosensitive semiconductor materials. Fabricating the B31, B32, B41, and B42 material layers can be achieved by spin-coating to uniformly distribute the semiconductor material across the entire device, followed by etching to remove the semiconductor material from undesirable areas. Alternatively, magnetron sputtering using a mask or targeted inkjet printing or photolithography can be employed. Swapping the material layers of the first and second transistors—that is, reversing the order of B31 and B41, and B32 and B42 (equivalent to swapping the positions of the left and right MOSFETs)—also falls within the scope of this example.
[0064] Comparative Example 2: This example provides a structural design and fabrication method of a dual heterostructure optoelectronic CMOS inverter with the gate in the middle. A first source C2, a first P-type GeSe semiconductor active layer C3, a first N-type semiconductor photosensitive layer C4, a first drain C5, an insulating layer C6, a gate C7, an insulating layer C8, a second source C9, a second P-type GeSe semiconductor active layer C10, a second N-type semiconductor photosensitive layer C11, and a second drain C12 (the two drain electrodes C5 and C12 are connected) are formed on a substrate C1.

[0066] Step CS1: Select a suitable substrate C1 and fabricate the first source C2 on the substrate;
[0067] Step CS2: Fabricate the first P-type GeSe semiconductor active layer and position it at C3;
[0068] Step CS3: Fabricate the first N-type semiconductor photosensitive layer and position it at C4;
[0069] Step CS4: Form the first drain C5 that contacts the first N-type semiconductor photosensitive layer;
[0070] Step CS5: Completely cover the first drain C5 with the insulating layer C6;
[0071] Step CS6: Fabricate the gate electrode C7 on the insulating layer C6;
