Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of two-dimensional single-layer semiconductor transistors, and in particular to a high-mobility thin-film transistor and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The discovery of graphene has ushered in an era of two-dimensional material research. Its excellent optical, electrical and mechanical properties have been widely used in solar cells, wearable devices, transparent electrodes and other fields. However, due to the zero band gap of graphene, its application in electronics and optoelectronics is inevitably limited. Among the many two-dimensional semiconductor materials, a new material called transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) is the most promising alternative, which has a suitable band gap, good environmental stability, and excellent electrical and optoelectronic properties. Compared with other TMDs, tungsten disulfide (WS2) has excellent properties such as high field effect mobility, low off-state current, high drain current and suitable band structure. It is widely used in transistors, photodetectors, light-emitting devices (LEDs) and other fields. However, although the theoretical mobility of WS2 is very good, the mobility of a single layer at room temperature is about 250cm 2 v -1 s -1 However, the performance of the transistor is easily affected by the external environment. Charged impurities such as chemical residues in the preparation process and gaseous adsorbents in the atmosphere will cause the carrier mobility to be greatly reduced. The average carrier mobility of the bottom-gate WS2 thin-film transistor with SiO2 as the dielectric layer in the atmospheric environment is only 0.05cm 2 v -1 s -1 In order to solve this problem, the present invention proposes a bottom-gate WS2 thin-film transistor structure.
