Technical Field

Background Art
[0002] Silicon-based technology has always been the cornerstone of complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) field effect transistor (FET) devices and the main driving force for the rapid growth of information technology. According to the predictions of Moore's Law, modern electronics continues to achieve higher speeds and greater capacity through device miniaturization, which enhances computing performance and reduces costs. However, in recent years, the further reduction of silicon-based CMOS FET size has been limited by quantum effects, especially short channel effects and inevitable heat dissipation problems, and the advancement of process nodes faces huge challenges.
[0003] In this context, researchers are eager to explore new channel materials and new device architectures that go beyond the limitations of traditional silicon-based technology to achieve low-power, high-performance logic devices. Therefore, two-dimensional (2D) materials composed of a single layer or a few layers of atoms or molecules, such as graphene, boron nitride, and transition metal dihalide compounds (TMDCs), have opened up new possibilities due to their atomic-level thickness, no dangling bonds on the surface, and extraordinary optical and electrical properties, and have attracted widespread attention from researchers.
[0004] TMDCs such as MoS2, MoSe2, WSe2 or WS2 have high mobility close to that of semiconductor silicon, and most of their energy gaps are above 1eV. They are natural semiconductors, so using these materials to develop high-performance field-effect transistors is a very important direction. Transistors based on two-dimensional materials also show the potential to surpass silicon in terms of miniaturization. However, to ensure the excellent device performance of two-dimensional field effect transistors (2D FETs), it is essential to prepare suitable high-k gate dielectrics. However, the deposition energy of high-k gate dielectrics is high, and it is inevitable that the two-dimensional material layer will be damaged during the deposition process. Summary of the invention
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a two-dimensional semiconductor field effect transistor and a manufacturing method thereof based on a high-k gate dielectric layer integration technology that can eliminate a buffer layer, so as to prepare a high-k gate dielectric layer on the channel layer while avoiding damage to the two-dimensional material of the channel layer.

This can avoid the problem of poor film formation quality of the top gate dielectric layer due to stress and strain generated between the two-dimensional material layer and the top gate dielectric layer, thereby improving the gate control capability of the two-dimensional semiconductor field effect transistor, and can also avoid damage to the two-dimensional material lattice caused by the top gate dielectric layer, thereby improving the electrical performance of the two-dimensional semiconductor field effect transistor, such as improving the mobility of the device, reducing the subthreshold swing and avoiding hysteresis.

[0043] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, providing these embodiments will make the invention thorough and complete and fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art. In the accompanying drawings, for clarity, the sizes and relative sizes of layers and regions may be exaggerated, and the same reference numerals throughout represent the same elements.
[0044] The terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The terms "comprise", "include", etc. used herein indicate the existence of the features, steps, operations and / or components, but do not exclude the existence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations or components.
[0045] It should be noted that high-k dielectric materials refer to dielectric materials with a dielectric constant greater than that of SiO2 (3.9 to 4.2). The importance of high-k gate dielectrics to 2D FETs is reflected in the following points: (1) high dielectric constant and stronger charge binding ability, which can reduce the leakage current of field effect transistor devices; (2) good thermal stability, which is beneficial to improving device performance and extending device life; (3) having a large band gap and high barrier height, which can reduce the tunneling current of the device; (4) low defect state density and low fixed charge density, which effectively reduce interface scattering during carrier transport and improve carrier mobility. It should be noted that fixed charge refers to the charge that permanently exists at the interface or volume in a semiconductor device.
[0046] The inert basal plane of two-dimensional semiconductors has no chemical pendant bonds and cannot provide enough nucleation sites for the deposition of high-k dielectrics, which inhibits the nucleation and growth ability of high-k dielectrics prepared using standard atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes. If the dielectric is directly deposited on the surface of 2D channel materials by atomic layer deposition and other methods, the dielectric film quality is poor, mostly in the shape of islands or needles. At the same time, the high-k dielectric will seriously damage the 2D channel material, and there will be a large number of impurities and defects at the formed interface, which will seriously affect the carrier mobility, subthreshold swing and other performance of the device, and cause obvious hysteresis effects. Therefore, it is necessary to find a method to deposit high-k dielectrics on the surface of two-dimensional channel materials.
[0047] The scheme of integrating a large area of high-k gate dielectric layer on a two-dimensional semiconductor channel can be mainly divided into four methods:
[0048] (1) Surface treatment method, for example, using ultraviolet ozone to treat the two-dimensional semiconductor MoS2 to form a sacrificial oxygen layer on the surface, thereby generating reaction sites on the inert substrate, and using ALD deposition to obtain a uniform, pinhole-free Al2O3 dielectric. The disadvantage of this method is that the surface of the two-dimensional material is first treated to form nucleation sites, but this treatment will produce a large number of defects on the surface of the nanoscale two-dimensional material, which will affect the performance of the logic device.
[0049] (2) Improved atomic layer deposition, which is largely related to surface treatment, as it involves steps such as precursor selection and modification or plasma precursors to drive the functionalization of the surface of the two-dimensional material to form nucleation sites and ultimately nucleation. For example, the precursor tetramethylaluminum (TMA) is first pulsed into the chamber, and then the Al2O3 dielectric is deposited using a water vapor-based ALD process or an O2 plasma-based PEALD process. The disadvantages of this method are the same as those of the surface treatment method.
[0050] (3) Thin film transfer method or conversion method. The thin film transfer method is a physical operation that requires manual mechanical transfer. Common dielectric films that are transferred include h-BN, MoO3, GaS, CaF2, etc. The conversion method is a chemical reaction. For example, the two-dimensional semiconductor Bi2O2Se is partially converted into a Bi2SeO5 dielectric film with an equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) of about 0.9nm through an oxidation reaction. The disadvantage of the thin film transfer method is that it requires manual operation and has high requirements for the experimental environment and experimental operation; the disadvantage of the conversion method is that the types of materials that can be used to generate dielectric films through chemical reactions are relatively small, and the scalability is poor.
[0051] (4) Buffer layer / seed layer growth method. For example, 3,4,9,10-perylene-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) is grown as a seed layer on a two-dimensional material using a thermal evaporation deposition method, and then a high-k dielectric layer HfO2 with good contact and no defects with PTCDA is deposited using atomic layer deposition technology (ALD). The disadvantages of this method are: the seed layer (usually with a low dielectric constant) will remain permanently in the dielectric structure, which will affect the dielectric capability and gate control capability of the device; it is necessary to find a suitable gate dielectric layer that is compatible with the seed layer, and the scalability is poor.
[0052] In view of this, the present invention provides a two-dimensional semiconductor field effect transistor and a manufacturing method thereof based on a high-k gate dielectric layer integration technology that can eliminate a buffer layer, so as to deposit a high-k gate dielectric layer on a two-dimensional material of a channel layer, so that the channel layer and the high-k gate dielectric layer form a good van der Waals interface contact, and can reduce the damage to the two-dimensional material layer caused by depositing the high-k gate dielectric layer on the two-dimensional material.

[0055] Figure 2B Schematic diagram of a two-dimensional semiconductor field effect transistor based on a high-k gate dielectric capable of eliminating a buffer layer after annealing according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0056] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a two-dimensional semiconductor field effect transistor based on a high-k gate dielectric capable of eliminating a buffer layer, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2A and Figure 2B As shown, it includes: step S01 to step S04.
[0057] Step S01 : depositing a back gate electrode 2 and a back gate dielectric layer 3 on a substrate 1 in sequence.
[0058] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the substrate 1 includes a silicon layer 11 and a silicon dioxide layer 12 formed on the silicon layer 11 .
[0059] Step S02 , transferring the channel layer 4 onto the back gate dielectric layer 3 .
[0060] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the two-dimensional material layer is transferred to the surface of the back gate dielectric layer 3 , and the two-dimensional material layer is subjected to photolithography, development, and etching to form the channel layer 4 .
[0061] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the two-dimensional material forming the channel layer 4 includes one of MoS 2 , MoSe 2 , WSe 2 , WS 2 , graphene and black phosphorus.

[0063] According to an embodiment of the present invention, forming a buffer layer 5, a source 6, a drain 7, a top gate dielectric layer 8 and a top gate electrode 9 in sequence on the channel layer 4 includes: depositing a buffer layer 5 on the channel layer 4; forming a source 6 and a drain 7 on the buffer layer 5, the source 6 and the drain 7 partially overlapping with the channel layer 4 in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 1; depositing a top gate dielectric layer 8 on the source 6, the drain 7 and the buffer layer 5, and forming a top gate electrode 9 on the top gate dielectric layer 8.
[0064] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the buffer layer 5 is a material with low deposition energy, and the buffer layer 5 can be removed by sublimation after being heated in a high vacuum environment. For example, the material of the buffer layer 5 is selenium.
[0065] It should be noted that the deposition energy of the buffer layer 5 is lower than the deposition energy of the top gate dielectric layer 8. Directly depositing the buffer layer 5 on the channel layer 4 avoids directly depositing a high-k gate dielectric layer on the channel layer 4, which can reduce damage to the two-dimensional material of the channel layer.
[0066] According to the embodiment of the present invention, a source electrode pattern and a drain electrode pattern are defined on the buffer layer 5, and after metal is deposited, a source electrode 6 and a drain electrode 7 are formed.
[0067] According to an embodiment of the present invention, after depositing the top gate dielectric layer 8 on the source 6, the drain 7 and the buffer layer 5, a photoresist is spin-coated on the top gate electrode layer 8, the photoresist is exposed and developed in a developer to form a photoresist pattern of the top gate electrode, a metal layer is deposited on the photoresist pattern, and then a top gate electrode 9 is formed by stripping the photoresist.
[0068] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the material of the top gate dielectric layer 8 is a high-k dielectric material; wherein the dielectric constant of the high-k dielectric material is higher than the dielectric constant of SiO 2 .
[0069] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the material of the top gate dielectric layer 8 is HfO 2 .
[0070] Step S04 , after forming the top gate electrode 9 , annealing treatment is performed in a vacuum environment to allow the buffer layer 5 to sublime under heating conditions, so that the channel layer 4 forms a van der Waals interface with the top gate dielectric layer 8 , and the channel layer 4 forms a van der Waals interface with the source 6 and the drain 7 .
[0071] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the annealing temperature of the annealing treatment is 150°C to 250°C, for example, the annealing temperature can be 150°C, 180°C, 200°C, 220°C, 250°C; the annealing time is 4h to 6h, for example, the annealing time can be 4h, 4.5h, 5h, 5.5h, 6h; the vacuum environment is 10 -7 torr~10 -9 torr, for example, in a vacuum environment it can be 10 -9 torr, 10 -8 torr, 10 - 7 torr.
[0072] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the present invention provides a two-dimensional semiconductor field effect transistor obtained by the above-mentioned manufacturing method, referring to Figure 2B As shown, it includes: a substrate 1, including a silicon layer 11 and a silicon dioxide layer 12; a back gate electrode 2, formed on the substrate 1; a back gate dielectric layer 3, formed on the back gate electrode 2; a channel layer 4, formed on the back gate dielectric layer 3; a source 6 and a drain 7, formed at both ends of the channel layer 4, and the source 6 and the drain 7 partially overlap with the channel layer 4 in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 1; a top gate dielectric layer 8 formed of a high-k dielectric material, formed on the source 6, the channel layer 4 and the drain 7; a top gate electrode 9, formed on a partial area of the top gate dielectric layer 8; wherein the top gate dielectric layer 8 forms a van der Waals interface with the channel layer 4, and the source 6 and the drain 7 form a van der Waals interface with the channel layer 4.

This can avoid the problem of poor film formation quality of the top gate dielectric layer due to stress and strain generated between the two-dimensional material layer and the top gate dielectric layer, thereby improving the gate control capability of the field effect transistor; it can also avoid damage to the two-dimensional material lattice by the top gate dielectric layer, thereby improving the electrical performance of the field effect transistor, such as improving the mobility of the device, reducing the subthreshold swing and avoiding hysteresis.

[0081] It should be noted that the double-gate two-dimensional semiconductor field effect transistor is fabricated by taking HfO2 as the gate dielectric and two-dimensional WSe2 as the channel material as an example. Figure 3 As shown in Figures (a) to (r) in the figure, the method for manufacturing a dual-gate two-dimensional semiconductor field effect transistor includes: steps S11 to S19.
[0082] In step S11, Si / SiO2 material is used as a substrate, and the Si / SiO2 substrate 1' is pretreated. The pretreatment process includes: ultrasonically cleaning the Si / SiO2 substrate 1' with acetone and isopropanol for 15 minutes, and drying it in an oven at 70° C. The Si wafer is heavily doped with p-type and has low resistance (<0.005Ω·cm), and SiO2 is a natural oxide layer with a thickness of about 300nm.
[0083] It should be noted that the Si wafer may also be heavily n-doped, and the thickness of the SiO2 layer may be 1-300 nm.
[0084] In step S12, TiN (back gate electrode layer) 2' and HfO2 film (back gate dielectric layer) 3' are sequentially deposited on the Si / SiO2 substrate 1'.
[0085] In step S13, the WSe2 two-dimensional material layer 4' grown on the sapphire substrate is transferred onto the HfO2 film (back gate dielectric layer) 3' by a wet transfer method.
[0086] In step S14, a first photoresist layer 5' is spin-coated on the WSe2 two-dimensional material layer 4', a channel pattern is defined by photolithography exposure and development, and the channel material WSe2 not protected by the photoresist is removed by dry etching, and then a de-resist treatment is performed to obtain a WSe2 channel layer 6'.
[0087] In step S15, a Se buffer layer 7' is grown on the surface of the WSe2 channel layer 6' by thermal evaporation deposition, wherein the Se buffer layer 7' protects the surface 6' of the two-dimensional material WSe2.
[0088] In step S16, a second photoresist layer 8' is formed on the Se buffer layer 7' to define source electrode patterns and drain electrode patterns, and Ni and Pd (first metal layer) 9' are deposited and stripped to form source 10' and drain 11'.
[0089] In step S17, a top gate dielectric layer (high-k gate dielectric HfO2) 12' is deposited on the Se buffer layer 7', the source 10', and the drain 11' by electron beam evaporation, wherein high-energy atoms generated by electron beam evaporation are deposited on the Se buffer layer 7' without damaging the two-dimensional material of the WSe2 channel layer 6'.

[0091] In step S19, after forming the top gate electrode 15', the two-dimensional semiconductor field effect transistor manufactured as above is subjected to annealing treatment to remove the Se buffer layer 7' which is easy to sublime, thereby completing the preparation of the dual-gate two-dimensional semiconductor field effect transistor device.
[0092] The electrical performance of the dual-gate two-dimensional semiconductor field effect transistor device manufactured as described above was tested, and the electrical performance tested included carrier mobility, on-state and off-state current, subthreshold swing, hysteresis, etc. The test equipment was a semi-automatic electrical probe station and a semiconductor analyzer, and the test process was carried out in a nitrogen atmosphere to prevent the performance degradation of the material in the device from being affected by air.
[0093] It should be noted that the formula for the carrier mobility of a two-dimensional semiconductor field effect transistor is as follows:
[0094]
[0095] Where L is the channel length, W is the channel width, and C ox Represents dielectric capacitance.
