Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2025-0034438, filed on March 18, 2025, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. The present invention relates to the fields of electronics and semiconductor engineering, and more particularly to semiconductor device structures comprising two-dimensional materials and halide perovskite materials, and methods for fabricating the same. [Background technology]
[0002] Thin film transistors (TFTs) are widely used as display drivers. Currently, commercialized technology is limited to n-channel TFTs that use InGaZnO materials as the channel, which are limited from a circuit perspective. To overcome these limitations, active research is being conducted into the development of p-channel TFT devices. However, commercialization is difficult due to the lack of oxide semiconductor thin films with p-channel (hole-driving) properties.
[0003] Halide perovskite thin films have high field-effect mobility (>50 cm 2 / Vs), they have attracted attention as channel materials for p-channel TFT devices. In particular, they have the advantage of being easily applicable to glass and flexible substrates because they can be fabricated at low process temperatures. However, while halide perovskite thin films have excellent p-channel characteristics, it is difficult to achieve n-channel characteristics due to the energy band structure characteristics of the material, which limits the fabrication of complementary semiconductor devices using only a single material. As a result, most complementary semiconductor devices reported to date employ a method combining a p-channel TFT based on a halide perovskite material and an n-channel TFT based on an InGaZnO material.
[0004] Halide perovskite materials have various advantages, such as excellent photoresponse characteristics, high charge mobility, the possibility of low-cost mass production, and inherent flexibility. However, the following problems exist in the actual device fabrication and application processes.
[0005] 1) Limited control of electrical properties: Conversion of perovskite conductivity type (p-type / n-type) mainly depends on the change of chemical composition, which limits device design and property control.
[0006] 2) Process compatibility issues: Low compatibility with existing semiconductor processes such as photolithography makes it difficult to apply fine processes.
[0007] 3) Stability issues: vulnerability to atmospheric conditions such as moisture and oxygen leads to degradation of material properties during processing, making it difficult to ensure device reliability and stability.
[0008] These technical limitations have delayed the practical application and commercialization of halide perovskite-based electronic devices, necessitating technological development and research into halide perovskite-based devices. Summary of the Invention
[0009] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device having a novel structure that can selectively control the semiconductor type of a halide perovskite thin film by utilizing the vacancy properties of two-dimensional materials.
[0010] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to realize a semiconductor device in which p-type and n-type regions can be simultaneously formed within a single halide perovskite thin film by controlling M vacancies and X vacancies in an MX2 (M: transition metal, X: chalcogenide) based two-dimensional material.
[0011] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a complementary semiconductor device that can be manufactured in a single process via a multilayer structure of a two-dimensional material layer and a halide perovskite layer, and that operates stably.
[0012] The problems to be solved by the present invention are not limited to the above problems, and undescribed problems will also be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from this specification and the accompanying drawings.
[0013] A halide perovskite-based complementary semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a substrate, a two-dimensional material layer formed on a top side of the substrate and including a hole injection layer and an electron injection layer, a halide perovskite layer formed on the two-dimensional material layer, and an electrode layer formed on the halide perovskite layer and including a drain electrode, an output electrode, and a source electrode.
[0014] The means for solving the problems of the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned means for solving the problems, and will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from this specification and the accompanying drawings.
[0015] According to embodiments of the present invention, halide perovskite-based complementary semiconductor devices can selectively control the conductivity type of halide perovskite by utilizing the inherent vacancy properties of two-dimensional materials. Specifically, S vacancies act as an electron-rich (e-rich) electron injection layer, and W vacancies act as an electron-poor (e-poor) hole injection layer, effectively inducing semiconductor-type inversion. Furthermore, the charge injection control method utilizing the vacancy properties of two-dimensional materials enables very precise conductivity type tuning. Because S vacancies and W vacancies act as donors and acceptors, respectively, the charge transport properties of the perovskite layer can be locally and precisely tuned, enabling the realization of various logic devices, including inverters.
[0016] The halide perovskite-based complementary semiconductor device according to the present invention, unlike conventional heterogeneous material combination methods, can realize a complementary semiconductor device using a single halide perovskite material. This allows for simultaneous formation of p-type and n-type regions within a single material, simplifying the process and improving the uniformity of device characteristics. This device structure allows for low-temperature processing and is applicable to various substrate materials, such as glass and plastic substrates. It is particularly suitable for flexible substrates, enabling its use as a flexible electronic device. Furthermore, compatibility with existing semiconductor processes such as photolithography can be improved, and moisture stability can be enhanced, thereby improving device reliability and stability.
[0017] The effects of the present invention are not limited to those described above, and other effects not mentioned will be apparent to those skilled in the art from this specification and the accompanying drawings. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0042] Hereinafter, a semiconductor device using a halide perovskite thin film according to an embodiment of the present application and a manufacturing process thereof will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS.
[0043] Embodiment 1: Basic complementary semiconductor device structure FIG. 1(a) is a schematic diagram of a top view of a halide perovskite-based complementary semiconductor device 100 including a two-dimensional material according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1(b) is a schematic diagram of a cross-section of a halide perovskite-based complementary semiconductor device 100 including a two-dimensional material according to one embodiment of the present invention, viewed from the side. Specifically, FIG. 1(b) is a schematic diagram showing a cross-section of the semiconductor device 100 of FIG. 1(a) taken along line A-A'. FIG. 2 is an enlarged schematic diagram of the two-dimensional material shown in FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b) viewed from the top.
[0044] 1(a) and 1(b), there is shown a halide perovskite-based complementary semiconductor device 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The semiconductor device 100 may include a substrate 120, a gate insulating layer 130, a two-dimensional material layer 140, a halide perovskite layer 150, and an electrode layer 160.
[0045] Substrate 120 is a structure that serves as the foundation of semiconductor device 100 and may be made of a variety of materials, such as a silicon substrate, a glass substrate, or a flexible substrate. For example, substrate 120 may be a silicon substrate in the form of a silicon wafer. The gate insulating layer 130 may be formed on the substrate 120 and may be made of an oxide insulator or the like. Specifically, the gate insulating layer 130 may be formed on the upper surface side of the substrate 120.
[0046] The two-dimensional material layer 140 may be formed on the gate insulating layer 130. Specifically, the two-dimensional material layer 140 may be formed on at least a portion of the surface of the gate insulating layer 130. Furthermore, the two-dimensional material layer 140 may be composed of a transition metal chalcogenide material (e.g., a transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) material). The two-dimensional material layer 140 may be composed of a transition metal chalcogenide material including any one of WS2, MoS2, WSe2, or MoSe2. In this embodiment, WS2 will be described as an example. However, this is merely for convenience of description and should not be construed as limiting.
[0047] 2, the two-dimensional material layer 140 may be formed to have at least one hexagonal structure pattern composed of a region having a large number of W vacancies 140-1 and a large number of S vacancies 140-2, which are alternately arranged with respect to the center. Here, the region having a large number of W vacancies 140-1 acts as a hole injection region that functions as a hole injection layer, and the region having a large number of S vacancies 140-2 acts as an electron injection region that functions as an electron injection layer.
[0048] The halide perovskite layer 150 is formed on the two-dimensional material layer 140 and may be composed of a halide perovskite material selected from the group consisting of organic-inorganic hybrid halide perovskite materials, all-inorganic halide perovskite materials, Pb-free halide perovskite materials, mixed halide materials, two-dimensional halide perovskite materials, dual perovskite materials, vacancy-ordered halide perovskite materials, and combinations thereof.
[0049] The organic-inorganic hybrid halide perovskite material may be MAPbI3, MAPbBr3, MAPbCl3, FAPbI3, FAPbBr3, or FAPbCl3.
[0050] All-inorganic halide perovskite materials are CsPbI3, CsPbBr3, CsPbCl3, RbPbI3, RbPbBr3, RbPbCl3, or CsPb(I 1-x Br x )3 may also be used.
[0051] The Pb-free halide perovskite material may be MASnI3, MASnBr3, MASnCl3, FASnI3, FASnBr3, FASnCl3, CsSnI3, CsSnBr3, CsSnCl3, MAGeI3, FAGeI3, CsGeI3, Cs2AgBiBr6, Cs2AgBiCl6, or Cs2AgSbBr6.
[0052] The mixed halide perovskite material is MAPb(I 1-x Brx )3, CsPb(Br 1-x Cl x )3, or FAPb(I 1-x Br x )3 may also be used.
[0053] Two-dimensional halide perovskite materials include (PEA)2PbI4 (phenethylammonium lead iodide), (FPEA)2PbI4 (4-fluoro-phenethylammonium lead iodide), (PEA)2SnI4 (phenethylammonium tin iodide), (FPEA)2SnI4 (4-fluoro-phenethylammonium tin iodide), or (R-NH3)2(A) n-1 (BX3) n It has the structure (BA)2(MA) n-1 Pb n I 3n+1 (butylammonium type) may also be used.
[0054] The double perovskite material may be Cs2AgBiBr6 or Cs2InBiCl6.
[0055] The vacancy-ordered halide perovskite material may be Cs2SnI6 or Cs2TiI6.
[0056] Thus, according to one embodiment of the present application, the halide perovskite layer may be MAPbI3, MAPbBr3, MAPbCl3, FAPbI3, FAPbBr3, FAPbCl3, CsPbI3, CsPbBr3, CsPbCl3, RbPbI3, RbPbBr3, RbPbCl3, CsPb(I 1-x Br x )3, MASnI3, MASnBr3, MASnCl3, FASnI3, FASnBr3, FASnCl3, CsSnI3, CsSnBr3, CsSnCl3, MAGeI3, FAGeI3, CsGeI3, Cs2AgBiBr6, Cs2AgBiCl6, Cs2AgSbBr6, MAPb(I 1-x Br x )3, CsPb(Br 1-x Cl x )3, FAPb(I 1-x Brx )3, (PEA)2PbI4 (phenethylammonium lead iodide), (FPEA)2PbI4 (4-fluoro-phenethylammonium lead iodide), (PEA)2SnI4 (phenethylammonium tin iodide), (FPEA)2SnI4 (4-fluoro-phenethylammonium tin iodide), (BA)2(MA) n-1 Pb n I 3n+1 (butylammonium-based), Cs2AgBiBr6, Cs2InBiCl6, Cs2SnI6, Cs2TiI6, and combinations thereof.
[0057] However, this is merely an example, and any suitable material may be selected as the halide perovskite material of the halide perovskite layer.
[0058] The halide perovskite layer 150 is preferably formed to a thickness within the range of 1 nm to 100 nm. If it is thicker than 100 nm, the underlying two-dimensional material will not be visible after lamination, resulting in difficulty in aligning electrodes, high electrical resistance, and reduced device performance. If it is thinner than 1 nm, it may not function as a channel, which may result in the inability to operate a complementary semiconductor device.
[0059] The electrode layer 160 may be formed on the halide perovskite layer 150 and may include a drain electrode 160-1, output electrodes 160-2 and 160-3, and a source electrode 160-4. The drain electrode 160-1 is connected to a power supply voltage (VDD), the source electrode 160-4 is connected to a ground voltage (VSS), and each of the output electrodes 160-2 and 160-3 is configured to provide an output voltage (Vout). In addition, a backside input electrode layer 110 may be formed on the backside of the substrate 120 (i.e., the side opposite to the substrate 120 on which the gate insulating layer 130 is formed), and the backside input electrode layer 110 may provide an input voltage (Vin).
[0060] The hole injection layer 140-1 corresponding to the region having a large number of W vacancies in the two-dimensional material layer 140 functions as a hole injection layer that removes electrons from the halide perovskite layer 150, allowing the corresponding region of the halide perovskite layer 150 to have p-type semiconductor properties. On the other hand, the electron injection layer 140-2 corresponding to the region having a large number of S vacancies functions to inject electrons into the halide perovskite layer 150, allowing the corresponding region of the halide perovskite layer 150 to have n-type semiconductor properties.
[0061] Specifically, the hole injection layer 140-1 forms a first contact potential at the interface with the halide perovskite layer 150, and the electron injection layer 140-2 forms a second contact potential at the interface with the halide perovskite layer 150. Due to the difference between the first and second contact potentials, a first region having p-type semiconductor properties and a second region having n-type semiconductor properties are locally formed in the halide perovskite layer 150, enabling the operation of a complementary semiconductor device.
[0062] A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device 100 according to embodiment 1 of the present application will be described below with reference to Fig. 3. In describing the method for manufacturing the semiconductor device 100, content that overlaps with the content described with reference to Figs. 1 and 2 may be omitted. However, this is merely for the convenience of description and should not be construed as a limitation.
[0063] FIG. 3 illustrates a process sequence for fabricating the semiconductor device 100 shown in FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b).
[0064] A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application may include steps of preparing and cleaning a substrate 120 (S110), depositing a gate insulating layer 130 (S120), forming a two-dimensional material layer 140 (S130), forming a halide perovskite layer 150 (S140), and forming electrodes 110, 160 (S150).
[0065] In step S110, a substrate 120, which is a structure that serves as the basis for the semiconductor device 100, may be provided and cleaned. The substrate 120 may be made of a variety of materials, such as a silicon substrate (e.g., a silicon wafer), a glass substrate, or a flexible substrate.
[0066] In step S120, a gate insulating layer 130 may be deposited on the substrate 120 prepared in step S110.
[0067] In step S130, a two-dimensional material layer 140 may be formed on the gate insulating layer 130 deposited in step S120. Here, the two-dimensional material layer 140 may be composed of a material including any one of WS2, MoS2, WSe2, or MoSe2 as described above, and may be formed to have at least one hexagonal structural pattern composed of regions having a large number of W vacancies 140-1 and regions having a large number of S vacancies 140-2, which are alternately arranged about the center. Here, the region having a large number of W vacancies 140-1 acts as a hole injection layer, and the region having a large number of S vacancies 140-2 acts as an electron injection layer.
[0068] In step S140, a halide perovskite layer 150 may be formed on the two-dimensional material layer 140 formed in step S130. The halide perovskite layer 150 may be formed in any one of a three-dimensional thin film structure, a two-dimensional thin film structure, and a mixture thereof. The three-dimensional (3D) thin film structure may be in the form of an ABX structure (A: organic or inorganic cation, B: metal cation, X: halogen anion). Examples of halide perovskite-based materials having a three-dimensional thin film structure include MAPbI, FAPbI, CsPbI, RbPbI, MASnI, FASnI, CsSnI, MAPbBr, FAPbBr, CsPbBr, RbPbBr, MASnBr, FASnBr, CsSnBr, etc. The three-dimensional thin film structure has the advantage of excellent charge mobility, allowing electrons and holes to move easily in all directions. The two-dimensional (2D) thin film structure may be in the form of a layered structure of the form (R-NH3)2BX4 or A2BX4, and examples of halide perovskite-based materials having a two-dimensional thin film structure may include PEASnI3, PEAPbI3, PEASnBr3, PEAPbBr3, etc. The two-dimensional thin film structure has the characteristics of being more stable than a three-dimensional structure, having an adjustable band gap due to the quantum confinement effect, and having smooth charge transport in the planar direction but limited charge transport in the vertical direction.
[0069] In step S150, an electrode layer 160 including a drain electrode 160-1, output electrodes 160-2 and 160-3, and a source electrode 160-4 may be formed on at least a portion of the halide perovskite layer 150 formed in step S140. Furthermore, in step S150, a back surface input electrode layer 110 may be formed on the back surface side of the substrate 120.
[0070] Embodiment 2: Complementary semiconductor device with additional passivation layer 170
[0071] Figures 4(a) and 4(b) are schematic diagrams of devices for an embodiment in which a passivation layer 170 is added to improve the stability of the device shown in Figure 1. Specifically, Figure 4(b) is a schematic diagram showing a cross section of the semiconductor device 100 of Figure 4(a) taken along line A-A'.
[0072] 4(a) and 4(b), there is shown a halide perovskite-based complementary semiconductor device 100 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The second embodiment has the same structure as the first embodiment, but with a passivation layer 170 added.
[0073] A passivation layer 170 may be formed on at least a portion of the halide perovskite layer 150 and the electrode layer 160. The passivation layer 170 may function to protect the semiconductor device from the external environment to improve stability. In particular, halide perovskite materials are vulnerable to moisture, so protecting the device from moisture via the passivation layer 170 can ensure long-term stability.
[0074] A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device 100 according to a second embodiment of the present application will be described below with reference to Figure 5. In describing the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device 100, content that overlaps with the content described with reference to Figures 1 to 4 may be omitted. However, this is merely for the convenience of description and should not be construed as a limitation.
[0075] FIG. 5 shows a process sequence for the embodiment of FIG.
[0076] A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application may include a step 120 (S210) of preparing and cleaning a substrate, a step (S220) of depositing a gate insulating layer 130, a step (S230) of forming a two-dimensional material layer 140, a step (S240) of forming a halide perovskite layer 150, a step (S250) of forming electrodes 110 and 160, and a step (S260) of forming a passivation layer 170.

In the third embodiment, a two-dimensional material having a hexagonal structure pattern is patterned into a square structure pattern by mechanical or laser scribing to improve device integration density.

[0080] A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device 100 according to a third embodiment of the present application will now be described with reference to Figure 7. In describing the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device 100, content that overlaps with the content described with reference to Figures 1 to 6 may be omitted. However, this is merely for the convenience of description and should not be construed as a limitation.
[0081] FIG. 7 shows a manufacturing process sequence for a device having a square pattern structure, which may further include, after forming the two-dimensional material layer 140, a process of etching at least one two-dimensional material (e.g., TMD) included in the two-dimensional material layer 140 into a square shape.
[0082] Specifically, a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application may include the steps of preparing and cleaning a substrate 120 (S310), depositing a gate insulating layer 130 (S320), forming a two-dimensional material layer 140 (S330), etching the two-dimensional material layer 140 (S335), forming a halide perovskite layer 150 (S340), and forming electrodes 110, 160 (S350).

Specifically, the two-dimensional material may be formed on a substrate via a direct growth method (e.g., chemical vapor deposition (CVD)) or a dry transfer method in which the two-dimensional material is attached to the substrate. In this case, in step S335 of the semiconductor device manufacturing method according to an embodiment of the present application, a process may be performed in which the two-dimensional material having the hexagonal structure pattern is etched to have a square structure pattern (e.g., a square structure pattern) by mechanical scribing or laser scribing.

The above-mentioned description of the passivation layer 170 and step S260 is applicable mutatis mutandis to this case, and therefore will not be repeated for convenience.
[0085] Embodiment 4: Complementary semiconductor device with top gate structure
[0086] Hereinafter, the semiconductor device 200 according to the fourth embodiment of the present application will be described in more detail with reference to Fig. 8. Meanwhile, the two-dimensional material layer 140, the halide perovskite layer 150, and the electrode layer 160 described in the first to third embodiments can be applied in substantially the same manner as the two-dimensional material layer 240, the halide perovskite layer 250, and the electrode layer 260 according to the fourth embodiment described below. Therefore, their description will be omitted, and the description will focus on the substrate 220, the gate insulating layer 270, and the gate electrode 280, which are modified compared to the first to third embodiments.
[0087] 8(a) and 8(b) are schematic diagrams showing top and cross-sectional views of a device for fabricating a top-gate complementary semiconductor device in another embodiment.
[0088] 8(a) and 8(b), there is shown a halide perovskite-based top-gate complementary semiconductor device 200 according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. The semiconductor device 200 according to the fourth embodiment has a structure in which a glass substrate or a flexible substrate 220 is used instead of the substrate 120 in the form of a silicon wafer, and a gate electrode 280 is disposed on top of the semiconductor device 200.
[0089] In the top-gate structure, the two-dimensional material layer 240, the halide perovskite layer 250, and the electrode layer 260 are sequentially formed on the substrate 220, and a gate insulating layer 270 may be formed on at least a portion of the halide perovskite layer 250 and / or the electrode layer 260. Furthermore, a gate electrode 280 may be formed on the gate insulating layer 270, and the gate electrode 280 may be configured to provide an input electrode (Vin). The semiconductor device 200 according to this embodiment does not require the use of a substrate in the form of a silicon wafer, and is therefore applicable to a variety of substrates, and is particularly suitable for realizing flexible electronic devices.
[0090] As in the first embodiment, the two-dimensional material layer 240 is composed of a region having a large number of W vacancies 240-1 (i.e., a hole injection layer) and a region having a large number of S vacancies 240-2 (i.e., an electron injection layer), and regions having p-type and n-type properties can be formed by injecting holes and electrons, respectively, into the halide perovskite layer 250. In addition, the electrode layer 260 includes a drain electrode 260-1, output electrodes 260-2 and 260-3, and a source electrode 260-4, and the gate electrode 280 may provide an input voltage (Vin).
[0091] The present invention described above utilizes the inherent vacancy properties of two-dimensional materials to locally control the semiconducting properties of halide perovskite layers, thereby realizing complementary semiconductor devices in a single material system, which offers significant advantages in terms of process simplification, performance uniformity, and device stability compared to conventional methods that combine different materials.
[0092] The W and S vacancies in the 2D material layer, particularly WS2, play an important role in this invention. These vacancies can be naturally formed during the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth process, and precise control of these vacancy structures can effectively control the charge distribution in the halide perovskite layer. The W vacancy regions in the 2D material layer induce a p-type doping effect by attracting electrons from the halide perovskite layer, increasing the hole concentration, while the S vacancy regions induce an n-type doping effect by supplying electrons to the halide perovskite layer.
[0093] By utilizing this principle, the present invention can realize a CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) circuit, which is the basic structure of a complementary semiconductor device, by locally forming p-type and n-type regions in the same halide perovskite layer. This can be effectively used in realizing logic circuits such as inverters, NAND gates, and NOR gates.
[0094] Furthermore, the structure proposed in this invention, combined with the excellent optoelectronic properties of halide perovskite materials, offers the potential for application in various optoelectronic devices such as photodetectors, solar cells, and light-emitting diodes. The absorption wavelength band can be controlled by adjusting the thickness and composition of the halide perovskite layer, and the charge transport properties can be optimized through the pore structure of the two-dimensional material layer.
[0095] The passivation layer, square patterning structure, top gate structure, etc. shown in various embodiments of the present invention can be selectively applied according to the actual application environment and purpose, thereby improving the stability, integration density, and applicability to various substrates of the device.
[0096] In conclusion, the halide perovskite-based complementary semiconductor devices according to the present invention can overcome the limitations of existing technologies and present new possibilities for the development of next-generation electronic and optoelectronic devices through an innovative approach that exploits the vacancy properties of two-dimensional materials.

Furthermore, the features, structures, effects, etc. exemplified in each embodiment can be combined or modified for other embodiments by a person skilled in the art to which the embodiment belongs.
