Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor devices, and in particular relates to a biosensor with a brim-shaped vertical tunneling field effect transistor and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Biosensors can detect, record, and quantify physiological parameters and biochemical processes in the body, which has a significant impact on disease diagnosis and health status assessment. Label-free biosensors using dielectric modulation field-effect transistors have attracted much attention due to their fast response time, low power consumption, and size compatibility with complementary metal oxide semiconductor technology, solving the complexity and high manufacturing costs associated with labeled detection methods such as fluorescent labels and radioisotopes. In DMFETs, the cavity is usually etched within the gate metal or oxide region. When biomolecules with different intrinsic properties enter the cavity, changes in the electrical properties can be observed, which affects the effective degree of channel-gate coupling. This dielectric modulation-based technology is also well suited for detecting charged biomolecules.

[0003] However, as the device scale develops towards the nano field, MOSFET-based biosensors face increasingly serious short channel effects (SCEs). In particular, the power consumption increases significantly, which does not meet the current requirements of integrated circuits to develop in the direction of low power consumption. In addition, due to the hot injection mechanism of carriers, the subthreshold swing (SS) of MOSFET-based biosensors does not exceed 60mV / dec, which also leads to a slow device turn-on speed.

[0004] The working principle of the tunnel field effect transistor (TFET) is the quantum mechanical principle of the tunneling effect. It allows a lower subthreshold swing and can be achieved below 60mV / dec at room temperature by reducing the thickness of the oxide and silicon layers. At the same time, the determining factor affecting the TFET biosensor is not the filling amount of biomolecules. The length of its detector can be less than half of the gate length. It is also compatible with CMOS technology and is easy to manufacture and integrate. In recent years, researchers have shown great interest in dielectric modulated tunnel effect transistor (DM-TFET) biosensors.

[0005] The Chinese patent application with publication number CN112736142A discloses a biosensor based on a nanosheet stacked field effect transistor and a preparation method. Three vertically stacked nanosheets form a channel, and a nanocavity is etched on the side close to the source end. This structure overcomes the short channel effect, but the disadvantage is low sensitivity.

[0006] AadilAnam et al. disclose Design and Performance Analysis of Tunnel Field Effect Transistor With Buried Strained Si 1-x Ge x Source Structure BasedBiosensorfor Sensitivity Enhancement(AadilAnam.Design andPerformance Analysis ofTunnel Field Effect TransistorWithBuried Strained Si 1-x Ge x Source Structure Based Biosensor for Sensitivity Enhancement[J]. IEEE SENSORS JOURNAL, 2020, 20(22): 13178–13185. ), a buried source region of silicon germanium is introduced into the source region and embedded in the channel region, but the manufacturing process of this structure is more difficult, and the working gate voltage is high, which increases the power consumption of the device.

[0007] Shruti Shreya et al. disclosed a biosensor with a core-shell junctionless nanotube tunneling field effect transistor structure (Core-Shell Junctionless Nanotube Tunnel Field Effect Transistor: Design and Sensitivity Analysis for Biosensing Application (Shruti Shreya. Core-Shell Junctionless Nanotube Tunnel Field Effect Transistor: Design and Sensitivity Analysis for Biosensing Application [J]. IEEE SENSORS JOURNAL, 2020, 20(2): 672–679.), which uses plasma technology to induce regions with different carrier concentrations on the semiconductor surface to form source and drain regions. However, due to its principle of charge plasma technology, the device has the defect of low on-state current and low sensitivity when detecting biological molecules. Summary of the invention

[0056] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0057] 1. The present invention adopts a cap-shaped structure at the tunnel junction to increase the tunneling area of ​​the carriers. At the same time, due to the embedding of the inner cap-shaped channel 2, the carriers in the source region 1 will not only undergo lateral tunneling, but also vertical tunneling. When the voltage of the gate metal 5 gradually increases, the cap-shaped structure makes the device have a mutation point at a certain gate voltage, and the value of the on-current increases sharply.

The biosensor based on this structure can greatly change the electrical properties before and after the coupling of biomolecules and exhibits excellent sensitivity performance.

[0059] 3. The cap brim structure of the present invention increases the probability of band-to-band tunneling of carriers in the source region, effectively suppresses the barrier width at the tunneling junction, and enables the biosensor to exhibit excellent electrical properties at a lower voltage and can be used in the field of low power consumption.

[0060] 4. The structure of embedding the channel in the source region of the present invention increases the modulation effect of the biomolecules in the cavity region on the energy band at the tunnel junction, and increases the detection capability of the biosensor to the biomolecules before and after coupling.

[0061] 5.
