Abstract:

We identify a universality in the Fermi level change of Van der Waals interacting semiconductor interfaces. We show that the disappearing of quasi-Fermi level pinning at a certain thickness of semiconductor films for both intrinsic (undoped) and extrinsic (doped) semiconductors over a wide range of bulk systems including inorganic, organic, and even organic–inorganic hybridized semiconductors. The Fermi level ( EF) position located in the energy bandgap was dominated by not only the substrate work function (Φsub) but also the thickness of semiconductor films, in which the final EF shall be located at the position reflecting the thermal equilibrium of semiconductors themselves. Such universalities originate from the charge transfer between the substrate and semiconductor films after solving one-dimensional Poisson's equation. Our calculation resolves some of the conflicting results from experimental results determined by using ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) and unifies the general rule on extracting EF positions in energy bandgaps from (i) inorganic semiconductors to organic semiconductors and (ii) intrinsic (undoped) to extrinsic (doped) semiconductors. Our findings shall provide a simple analytical scaling for obtaining the “quantitative energy diagram” in the real devices, thus paving the way for a fundamental understanding of interface physics and designing functional devices.

Abstract:

Semiconductor devices generally contain n- and p-doped regions. Doping is accomplished by incorporating certain impurity atoms that are substitutionally dissolved on lattice sites of the semiconductor crystal. In defect terminology, dopant atoms constitute extrinsic point defects. In this sense, the whole semiconductor industry is based on controlled introduction of specific point defects. This article addresses intrinsic point defects, ones that come from the native crystal. These defects govern the diffusion processes of dopants in semiconductors. Diffusion is the most basic process associated with the introduction of dopants into semiconductors. Since silicon and gallium arsenide are the most widely used semiconductors for microelectronic and optoelectronic device applications, this article will concentrate on these two materials and comment only briefly on other semiconductors.A main technological driving force for dealing with intrinsic point defects stems from the necessity to simulate dopant diffusion processes accurately. Intrinsic point defects also play a role in critical integrated circuit fabrication processes such as ion-implantation or surface oxidation. In these processes, as well as during crystal growth, intrinsic point defects may agglomerate and negatively impact the performance of electronic or photovoltaic devices. If properly controlled, point defects and their agglomerates may also be used to accomplish positive goals such as enhancing device performance or processing yield.

Abstract:

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have been considered as promising candidates to fabricate ultimately scaled field-effect transistors (FETs), due to the atomically thin thickness and high carrier mobility. However, the performance of FETs based on 2D semiconductors has been limited by extrinsic factors, including high contact resistance, strong interfacial scattering, and unintentional doping. Among these challenges, contact resistance is a dominant issue, and important progress has been made in recent years. In this review, the Schottky–Mott model is introduced to show the ideal Schottky barrier, and we further discuss the contribution of the Fermi-level pinning effect to the high contact resistance in 2D semiconductor devices. In 2D FETs, Fermi-level pinning is attributed to the high-energy metal deposition process, which would damage the lattice of atomically thin 2D semiconductors and induce the pinning of the metal Fermi level. Then, two contact structures and the strategies to fabricate low-contact-resistance short-channel 2D FETs are introduced. Finally, our review provides practical guidelines for the realization of high-performance 2D-semiconductors-based FETs with low contact resistance and discusses the outlook of this field.

Abstract:

Abstract A phenomenological model for charge transport in extrinsic semiconductors is presented. For shallow impurities, large saturated impact-ionization coefficient and sufficiently low lattice temperature, the current-field characteristic is S-shaped (SNDC) due to the interplay between impact ionization and scattering of carriers from acoustic phonons, ionized and neutral impurities. The present model provides and explanation of the experimentally observed disappearance of SNDC above a critical lattice temperature. In the region of negative differential conductivity where a current-controlled uniform state is unstable, current filaments are calculated numerically.

Abstract In the presence of a perpendicular weak magnetic field, current filaments in semiconductors can obtain a transverse drift. In the framework of a collective-coordinate ansatz, an expression for the velocity of the filament is derived for a simple type of extrinsic semiconductors. It turns out that the motion is caused by the coupling of the non-uniform Hall angle to the translational Goldstone mode of the current filament.

Abstract:

It is shown that restoring force acts on the electronic cloud of the outer electrons of a neutral or charged impurity atom when it is shifted relative to the inner charged core (or expanded). Because of this the dipole oscillations arise which influence considerably the dispersion law of the plasma oscillations in bulk extrinsic semiconductors. Assuming that only one transition of electron from the ground state to the first excited state is essential, the dispersion law is calculated. It is shown that the calculated dispersion law consists of two separate branches, one of them originates from the regular plasma oscillations of the free electrons of a conductivity band, and the other one stems from the local oscillations of the outer electrons bounded to the impurity atoms.

Abstract:

Atomic diffusion of impurity centers is investigated as a possible origin of 1/f noise in semiconductors. Following the trace of an individual impurity center, the noise produced at a certain site is calculated; due to diffusion of centers this is an intermittent process. Besides generation-recombination (= g-r) noise, an excess noise is obtained which is attributed to diffusion of impurity centers. This excess noise exhibits 1/f noise and g-r burst noise. 1/f noise is attributed to the return time of a center to the origin; g-r burst noise is the noise produced by centers residing at a certain site. For a n-type strongly extrinsic semiconductor, the Hooge coefficient α of the present model is derived and impact of compensating acceptors or additional doping by shallow centers is investigated. Increasing the concentration of additional shallow centers α is decreased; an increase of concentration of compensating acceptors results in an increase of α. The temperature dependence of the Hooge coefficient α(T) is calculated and is compared with empirical findings.

Abstract:

Inspired by the phenomenon of fluorescence intermittency in quantum dots and other materials, we introduce small off-states (intermissions) which interrupt the generation and recombination (= [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text]) process in a semiconductor material. If the remaining on-states are power-law distributed, we find an almost pure 1/[Formula: see text] spectrum. Besides well-known [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] noise, we obtain two 1/[Formula: see text] noise components which can be attributed to the intermittent generation and recombination process. These components can be given the form of Hooge's relation with a Hooge coefficient [Formula: see text] describing the contribution of the generation and recombination process, respectively. Herein, the coefficients [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] describe impact of intermissions which in general are different for the generation and recombination process. The impact of [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] noise on 1/[Formula: see text] noise is comprised in the coefficient [Formula: see text] for the generation and [Formula: see text] for the recombination process. These coefficients are specified for an intrinsic and a slightly extrinsic semiconductor as well as for a semiconductor with traps; for the latter, the temperature dependence of 1/[Formula: see text] noise is also investigated. 1/[Formula: see text] noise is shown to be inversely related to the number of neutral and ionized [Formula: see text]-atoms rather than to the number of conduction electrons as defined in Hooge's relation. As a possible origin of 1/[Formula: see text] noise in semiconductors, electron–phonon scattering is suggested.

Abstract:

As diamond possesses only deep dopants, certain conventional physics and characterization methods are not applicable to diamond devices, owing to the explicit or implicit assumption of shallow dopants. To resolve this limitation, the capacitance –voltage ( C–V) characteristics of metal–insulator–semiconductor (MIS) capacitors formed on a semiconductor substrate with deep and compensating dopants were successfully formulated. Based on these equations, methods for accurately estimating the MIS capacitor properties were developed and validated through their application in the analysis of an actual MIS capacitor formed on a boron-doped hydrogen-terminated diamond substrate. The high-frequency C–V characteristic of the capacitor exhibited a prominent dip specific to deep dopants. However, the dip depth was considerably shallower than theoretically expected. This C–V characteristic was accurately reproduced theoretically, assuming the presence of a surficial diamond layer that contains acceptors with an activation energy of 0.23 eV, which is less than the value 0.37 eV for boron, and has a thickness of the extrinsic Debye length (40 nm in this study) or larger. The insulator charge of the MIS capacitor was estimated as −4.6 × 1012 cm−2 in units of electronic charge, which is sufficiently large to induce two-dimensional hole gas. The interface-state density was 1.4 × 1012 cm−2 eV−1 for interface-state energies of 0.3–0.5 eV above the valence band maximum. Hence, the proposed methodology and the possible presence of the reduced activation energy layer will guide the development of diamond-based devices.

Abstract:

Photoemission (PES) has been an essential metrology in the field of materials physics for over 30 years. The electronic band structure of a solid is a fundamental property which defines how a material will be used and integrated into device form. Topographic features and defects can impact electronic structure, therefore influence extrinsic properties when integrated in device form. Developing metrology that is sensitive to electronic properties at these length scales is desired. Here, we apply lab-based photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM) to gain insight in key structure – function relationships. Controlling doping during growth of semiconductors is critical as it has impact on device engineering – whether to form components in logical circuits or regions for Ohmic contact formation. For some semiconductor nanowires (NW), the doping density is varied along the long axis of the NW and knowing where the transition and its strength between doping regimes is important for device engineers. Here, we have imaged GaN NW grown with n-doped and n++-doped regions of approximately 6 μm in length and 200 nm in diameter that have been dispersed on a silicon substrate. Using a deep ultraviolet photon source, we observe an inflected change in the contrast along the long axis of the NWs (about 2 μm from one end) which we attribute to the n-n++ interface. This inflection is about 100 nm wide, and provides insight into the space-charge region formed at this electronic interface. We will also present on expanding our lab-based PEEM capability with integration to a tunable laser-based deep UV system (80 MHz, 140 fs). This added capability will provide additional imaging sensitivity to polar semiconductors such as III-nitrides. We will present some initial results with this system currently being commissioned on device-grade GaN and β-Ga2O3.

Abstract:

ZnO is one of the most important industrial metal oxide semiconductors. However, in order to fully realise its potential, the electronic structure of ZnO has to be modified to better fit the needs of specific fields. Recent studies demonstrated that reactive magnetron sputtering under Zn-rich conditions promotes the formation of intrinsic ZnO defects and allows the deposition of metallic Zn phase-rich ZnO films. In photocatalytic efficiency tests these films were superior to traditional ZnO oxide, therefore, the purposeful formation of intrinsic ZnO defects, namely Zn interstitials and oxygen vacancies, can be considered as advantageous self-doping. Considering that such self-doped ZnO remains a semiconductor, the natural question is if it is possible to further improve its properties by adding extrinsic dopants. Accordingly, in the current study, the metallic Zn phase-rich ZnO oxide film formation process (reactive magnetron sputtering) was supplemented by simultaneous sputtering of copper or carbon. Effects of the selected dopants on the structure of self-doped ZnO were investigated by X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope, X-ray photoelectron spectroscope and photoluminescence techniques. Meanwhile, its effect on photocatalytic activity was estimated by visible light activated bleaching of Methylene Blue. It was observed that both dopants modify the microstructure of the films, but only carbon has a positive effect on photocatalytic efficiency.

Abstract:

Abstract The union of two extrinsic semiconductors, one of them doped with donor impurities and the other with acceptor impurities, constitutes what is called the diode. In this paper we present a didactic model of diode, from which its electrical characteristics can be extracted, such as the structure of energy bands, the characteristic curve of current voltage, etc. To achieve this purpose the Finite Element Method (FEM) was used. In essence, the MEF is a method that allows numerically approximate the solution of partial differential equations. It is well known that, except in very particular cases, obtain analytical solutions of such equations is impossible, and the only possibility is to find approximate solutions. This model is implemented in the search for new strategies and methods of teaching concepts related to electronic devices, such as diodes, transistors, light-emitting diodes, quantum devices, etc.

Abstract:

Covalent amorphous semiconductors, such as amorphous silicon (a-Si) and germanium (a-Ge), are commonly believed to have localized electronic states at the top of the valence band and the bottom of the conduction band. Electrical conductivity is thought to occur through the hopping mechanism via these localized states. The carrier mobility of these materials is usually very low, in the order of ∼10−3–10−2 cm2/Vs at room temperature. In this study, we show that pure high-density amorphous Ge has exceptionally high carrier mobility, in the order of ∼100 cm2/Vs, and a high hole concentration of ∼1018 cm−3. The temperature-dependent conductivity of the material is also very-well defined with two distinctive regions, extrinsic and intrinsic conductivity, as in crystalline Ge. These results provide direct evidence for a largely preserved band structure and non-localized states within the valence band in high-density amorphous Ge, as previously suggested by Tauc et al. from optical characterization alone.

Abstract:

Carbon nanotubes hold great promise for high-performance electronics but also face significant challenges in terms of assembly and integration. On one hand, aligned carbon nanotubes are proposed as an alternative to III-V semiconductor technologies in radio frequency (RF) applications because of their high linearity as amplifiers and compatibility with CMOS electronics. We will first report high-performance RF transistors with operation frequencies beyond 100 GHz. These devices are built upon high-density (~50 nanotubes / micron) and high semiconducting purity (> 99.99%) aligned single-wall carbon nanotube films assembled at wafer scale. With gate length ~110 nm and T-shaped gate to reduce the gate charging resistance, the devices showed an extrinsic cutoff frequency and maximum oscillation frequency of over 100 GHz. The performance surpasses the 90 GHz cutoff frequency of radio-frequency CMOS transistors with gate length of 100 nm and is close to the performance of GaAs technology. [1] On the other hand, Carbon nanotubes are ideal candidates for beyond-silicon nanoelectronics because of their high mobility and low-cost processing; however, n-type transistors based on assembled aligned nanotubes has not been reported yet. Fabrication of n-type behavior field effect transistors (FETs) based on assembled aligned CNT arrays is needed for advanced CNT electronics. We will report a scalable process to make n-type transistors based on assembled aligned CNT arrays. Air-stable and high-performance n-type CNT FETs are achieved with high yield by combining atomic layer deposition dielectric and Ti contacts with gold overcoating, which are stable in air and widely used for III-V semiconductors. We also systematically studied the contribution of metal contacts and atomic layer deposition passivation in determining the transistor polarity. [2] Based on these experimental results, we report the successful demonstration of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor inverters with good performance, which paves the way to realizing the promising future of carbon nanotube nanoelectronics.

Abstract:

Piezoelectric materials (PEMs) find a wide spectrum of applications that include, but are not limited to, sensors, actuators, semiconductors, memory devices, and energy harvesting systems due to their outstanding electromechanical and polarization characteristics. Notably, these PEMs can be employed across several length scales (both intrinsic and extrinsic) ranging from mesoscale (bulk ceramics) to nanoscale (thin films) during their applications. Over the years, progress in probing individual electrical and mechanical properties of PEM has been notable. However, proportional review articles providing the mechanical characterization of PEM are relatively few. The present article aims to give a tutorial on the mechanical testing of PEMs, ranging from the conventional bulk deformation experiments to the most recent small-scale testing techniques from a materials science perspective. The advent of nanotechnology has led materials scientists to develop in situ testing techniques to probe the real-time electromechanical behavior of PEMs. Therefore, this article presents a systematic outlook on ex situ and in situ deformation experiments in mechanical and electromechanical environments, related mechanical behavior, and ferroelectric/elastic distortion during deformation. The first part provides significant insights into the multifunctionality of PEM and various contributing microstructural length scales, followed by a motivation to characterize the mechanical properties from the application's point of view. In the midst, the mechanical behavior of PEM and related mechanical characterization techniques (from mesoscale to nanoscale) are highlighted. The last part summarizes current challenges, future perspectives, and important observations.
