[0061] Step S2: After cleaning the substrate 1, the photoresist is applied, electron beam lithography, development, evaporation and de-glue treatment are carried out to obtain the first metal film 2, the second metal film 3 and the third metal film 4 respectively, which specifically includes:
[0062] Apply photoresist: place the target substrate in the spin coating machine, drop the photoresist on the target substrate with a dropper, spin twice with the spin coating machine, and after the coating is completed, the oven temperature is controlled by the heater to 180°C for 90s for standby. Specifically, the target substrate of step S1 is placed in the spin coating machine, the photoresist of type S1813 is dropped on the target substrate with a dropper, the first stage is rotated at 500 rpm for 5s with the spin coating machine, the second stage is rotated at an initial speed of 1000 rpm for 40s with the spin coating machine, and after the coating is completed, the oven temperature is controlled by the heater to 180°C for 90s for standby.
[0063] E-beam lithography: the baked target substrate is placed into the e-beam lithography system for multiple correction and exposure operations; specifically, the baked target substrate is placed into the e-beam lithography system, and current, image, and other correction actions are performed, then the exposure wavelength is set to 590-740 nm, after confirming two alignment points, the instrument automatically performs correction actions, and then the process of seeking alignment points is repeated three times. After three times of correction, the target substrate is usually within the allowable error range, and exposure is performed. After exposure, the sample is used as a target substrate.
[0064] Development: two beakers are prepared, one is filled with a developing solution, and the other is filled with isopropyl alcohol. After the exposed target substrate is soaked in the developing solution for a few seconds, it is washed in isopropyl alcohol to remove residual developing solution, and then dried with a nitrogen gun for standby. Specifically, two beakers are prepared, one is filled with a developing solution, and the other is filled with isopropyl alcohol. The developing solution used in this step is MIBK (4-methyl-2-pentanone), which is uniformly mixed with water in a ratio of 1:3 to form a dilute solution.

The third metal thin film 4 is located in the upper central position, while the first metal thin film 2 and the second metal thin film 3 are symmetrically distributed on the lower left and right. At this point, the preparation of the metal source and drain electrodes (first metal thin film 2 and second metal thin film 3) and the third metal thin film 4 connected to the graphene gate is completed. The third metal thin film 4 is used for graphene gate connection, and the gate voltage is not directly applied to the graphene, but to the third metal thin film 4.

Repeat the above steps several times, and then attach the PdSe2 sheet to the Gelpak mechanical peeling special PF gel film on the glass slide. Then gently lift the PdSe2 sheet, and observe the PF gel film under the optical microscope. Select the PdSe2 film with a thickness of 5-15 nm, a uniform surface and a length of 30-50 μm as the PdSe2 channel layer 5.
[0069] Step S32: Select h-BN crystal block, and use England blue tape and optical microscope to obtain h-BN dielectric layer 6, which specifically includes: use England blue tape to make a transfer on h-BN crystal block, and then tear the England blue tape with another piece of England blue tape, so that h-BN is divided into two parts. Repeat the above steps several times, and then attach the h-BN sheet to the Gelpak mechanical peeling special PF gel film on the glass slide. Then gently lift the h-BN sheet, and observe the PF gel film under the optical microscope. Select the h-BN film with a thickness of 5-10 nm, a uniform surface and a length of 15-40 μm as the h-BN dielectric layer 6.
[0070] Step S33: Select graphene crystal block, and use England blue tape and optical microscope to obtain graphene film 7, which specifically includes: use England blue tape to make a transfer on graphene crystal block, and then tear the England blue tape with another piece of England blue tape, so that graphene is divided into two parts. Repeat the above steps several times, and then attach the graphene sheet to the Gelpak mechanical peeling special PF gel film on the glass slide. Then gently lift the graphene sheet, and observe the PF gel film under the optical microscope. Select the graphene film with a thickness of 5-10 nm, a uniform surface and a length of 50-200 μm as the graphene film 7.
[0071] Step S4: transfer the PdSe2 channel layer 5 to the first metal film 2 partial region, the substrate 1 region between the first metal film 2 and the second metal film 3, and the second metal film 3 partial region; specifically, the PdSe2 channel layer 5 on the PF gel film prepared in step S31 is transferred to the first metal film 2 partial region, the substrate 1 region between the first metal film 2 and the second metal film 3, and the second metal film 3 partial region by using a two-dimensional material transfer system and a matching microscope, and overlaps the source and drain electrodes (the first metal film 2 and the second metal film 3) by 5-15 μm, and the PdSe2 channel layer 5 serves as a conductive channel of the transistor.
[0072] Step S5: transfer the h-BN dielectric layer 6 to the PdSe2 channel layer 5 region between the first metal film 2 and the second metal film 3; specifically, the h-BN dielectric layer 6 on the PF gel film prepared in step S32 is transferred to the PdSe2 channel layer 5 directly above by using a two-dimensional material transfer system and a matching microscope; in this embodiment, the h-BN film material serves as a dielectric layer of the transistor.
[0073] Step S6: transfer the graphene film 7 to the h-BN dielectric layer 6 partial region between the first metal film 2 and the second metal film 3 and the third metal film 4 partial region; specifically, the graphene film 7 on the PF gel film prepared in step S33 is transferred to the h-BN dielectric layer 6 directly above, and overlaps the third metal film 4 by 5-15 μm, and the graphene film 7 serves as a gate electrode, and the voltage applied to the third metal film 4 acts on the entire transistor, and thus a flexible thin film transistor is prepared.
[0074] Figure 4 The characteristic curve graphs of the flexible thin film transistor of the present application after being folded 0 times, 5 times, 10 times and 15 times are given, and it can be seen that Figure 4 the source and drain current and the gate voltage change little, and thus it can be deduced that the transfer characteristic curve still shows good stability after being folded multiple times.
[0075] The present application focuses on the application of two-dimensional materials with high specific area, high optical transparency and excellent mechanical flexibility in flexible electronics, and the two-dimensional materials as the channel (PdSe2) and the gate (graphene) bring higher mechanical flexibility and thinner thickness to the device. In particular, the strong interaction force (covalent bond) in the graphene layer enables the gate to better adapt to the use environment of flexible electronics bending and folding. At the same time, the two-dimensional transistor has a simple preparation method compared with the silicon-based transistor, which greatly reduces the cost and difficulty of large-scale preparation of flexible electronics in the future, making it possible for smart wear, foldable / rollable displays and electronic skin applications in the future.
[0076] The biggest advantage of the present application compared with the prior art is that, in the manufacturing process, since the three metal films are in the same layer, the gate only needs to connect the channel and the external electrode through graphene, so only one electron beam lithography is included in the device manufacturing process, compared with the manufacturing process of other flexible transistors, the number of lithography in the transistor manufacturing process is reduced, and therefore the process is simpler. At the same time, the gate and the channel material of the transistor respectively adopt graphene and PdSe2, compared with the traditional silicon-based MOS structure, since the introduction of two-dimensional material, the structure has a thinner thickness, can better adapt to bending, twisting and stretching and other deformations, and is more in line with the future application scenarios of intelligent wearable; in addition, the strong interaction force (covalent bond) in the graphene layer makes it easy to deform in the direction perpendicular to the surface, showing good mechanical flexibility, thereby ensuring the stability of the gate during bending. In summary, the present application makes full use of the advantages of two-dimensional materials in thickness and flexibility, and realizes the preparation of a flexible device with good stability and wide application range through single lithography.
[0077] The various embodiments in the specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the difference from other embodiments, and the same or similar parts between various embodiments can be referred to each other.
[0078] The principles and implementation modes of the present application are described by applying specific examples herein, and the above description of the embodiments is only used to help understand the method of the present application and its core idea; at the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of the present application, the specific implementation mode and application range will be changed. In summary, the content of the specification should not be understood as a limitation of the present application.
