[0002] The atomic manipulation technology of scanning tunneling microscopy realizes operations such as precise positioning, picking up, placing, and transporting at the single-atom level through the lateral and longitudinal manipulation methods of the scanning tunneling microscopy tip. Atomic-scale precision quantum devices manufactured based on the atomic manipulation of scanning tunneling microscopy and single-atom etching technology are expected to further miniaturize electronic devices, increase the working frequency, reduce energy consumption, and significantly increase the information storage capacity, thereby promoting the development of the information field.

[0003] In recent years, scanning tunneling microscopy has realized the lateral and longitudinal manipulation of different atoms or inorganic small molecules on the surfaces of substrates such as metals, semiconductors, and oxide ultrathin films, and constructed some artificial quantum lattices with special physical properties, providing a new platform for the regulation and research of quantum states, etc., and also providing a new method for the construction of artificial quantum structures and quantum devices. Due to its ultra-high carrier mobility, strong stability, and excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, two-dimensional layered materials have important advantages in the semiconductor industrial manufacturing. However, since the van der Waals surface of the two-dimensional layered substrate is not a close-packed surface, some metal atoms will leak into the substrate interior and it is difficult to stably adsorb on the surface, and single atoms such as C and H will form covalent bonds on the surface of two-dimensional layered materials and it is difficult to pick them up again. Therefore, the controllable manipulation and structure construction of atomic-scale precise artificial quantum structures on the surface of two-dimensional layered materials are still a difficult problem.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention proposes a method for constructing artificial quantum structures on a two-dimensional layered material substrate by atomic manipulation to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0034] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The exemplary embodiments and descriptions of the present invention are used to explain the present invention but are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a method for atomic manipulation and atomic-level structure construction on the surface of a two-dimensional layered material, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0036] Step 1: Select a two-dimensional layered material substrate with an atomically clean surface. The two-dimensional layered material substrate includes graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), silicene and transition metal chalcogenides. The transition metal chalcogenides are MX2 (M = V, Mo, W; X = Se, Te, S). Two electrodes are pre-buried at the bottom of the two-dimensional layered material, and transport measurements can be performed on the doped two-dimensional layered material, as shown in Figure 2(a).

[0037] Step 2: Deposit monodisperse noble metal atoms on the surface of the two-dimensional layered material by molecular beam epitaxy, the noble metal atoms include Au, Pt and Pd. The deposited monodisperse noble metal atoms are randomly distributed on the surface of the two-dimensional layered material substrate, and the coverage on the substrate surface is 0.01 to 0.05 ML (monolayer), as shown in Figure 2(b).

[0038] Step 3, depositing monodisperse non-metallic atoms on the surface of the two-dimensional layered material by molecular beam epitaxy, the non-metallic atoms including Te, Se and As. The deposited monodisperse non-metallic atoms are randomly distributed on the surface of the two-dimensional layered material substrate, and the coverage on the substrate surface is 0.01 to 0.05 ML (monolayer), as shown in Figure 2(c).

[0039] Step 4: Use the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope to scan the surface of the two-dimensional layered material to obtain a surface morphology map and obtain the positions of the noble metal atoms and non-metal atoms on the surface of the two-dimensional layered substrate. The tip of the scanning tunneling microscope is an electrochemically etched tungsten tip. The working environment of the scanning tunneling microscope and its tip is an ultra-high vacuum: the temperature is below 4K and the pressure is above 10 -7 Below Pa.

[0040] Step 5: Using the method of applying pulse voltage, the tungsten needle tip of the scanning tunneling microscope is used to longitudinally manipulate and lift a single noble metal atom. The pulse voltage parameter is a pulse time of 1 to 2 seconds, and the needle tip height is lowered. A pulse voltage of +3 to +5 V is applied to the needle tip, as shown in Figure 2(d).

[0041] Step 6: Place the single noble metal atom lifted above by applying a pulse voltage, and move the needle tip to the top of the target position for placing the noble metal atom, so as to achieve accurate placement of the target position, as shown in Figure 2(e). The pulse voltage parameters are pulse time 1 to 2 seconds, and the needle tip height decreases by A pulse voltage of -3 to -5 V is applied to the needle tip.

[0042] Step 7, by applying a pulse voltage, the tungsten needle tip of the scanning tunneling microscope is moved to the top of the manipulated non-metal atom, and a single non-metal atom is lifted longitudinally, as shown in Figure 2(f). The parameters are pulse time 1 to 2 seconds, needle tip height decrease A +3 to +5V pulse voltage is applied to the needle tip.

[0043] Step 8: Place the single non-metal atom lifted above by applying a pulse voltage. Move the needle tip to the top of the non-metal atom placement position and place the non-metal atom precisely near the noble metal atom. The distance between the two atoms is 3 to 10 times the surface cell spacing. See Figure 2(g). The parameters are pulse time 1 to 2 seconds, needle tip height drop A pulse voltage of -3 to -5 V is applied to the needle tip.

[0044] The precise transport of single atoms is a repeatable process that can be performed multiple times.

[0045] The manipulated atoms are stably adsorbed on the surface of the two-dimensional layered material, and can be doped through charge transfer. When noble metal atoms are adsorbed on the substrate surface, the substrate locally gains electrons, which is N-type doping; when non-metallic atoms are adsorbed on the substrate surface, the substrate locally loses electrons, which is P-type doping. Double-atom quantum devices can be realized. Figure 3 There are no dangling bonds on the surface of two-dimensional layered materials, and the deposited monodisperse atoms and the surface of two-dimensional layered materials conform to physical adsorption with weak interactions.

[0046] Through the two electrodes pre-buried at the bottom of the two-dimensional layered material, transport measurements of the doped two-dimensional layered material can be performed.
