Technical field
The invention belongs to nano-electron components and parts technical field, relate to the preparation method of the thin back of the body grid of a kind of low-power consumption graphene field effect transistor.
Background technology
Field-effect transistor (FET) is most important device in the very lagre scale integrated circuit (VLSIC) such as microprocessor and semiconductor memory.FET by gate source voltage (
v gs) control the conductivity of raceway groove, thereby reach control output current (
i ds) big or small object.FET is as the device of high-speed response, must want fast to the gate source voltage response speed changing, and therefore need to possess less grid and conducting channel has high carrier mobility.
Within 2004, Condensed Matter Physics scholar finds a kind of Graphene that at room temperature only has several atomic layers thick, and this material is with sp by carbon atom
2hybridized orbit forms the flat film that hexangle type is honeycomb lattice, and its thickness only has 0.34nm, and structure is highly stable.Graphene not only has very outstanding mechanical property and thermal stability, also has excellent electric property, and its carrier mobility can be up to 2 * 10
5cm
2/ Vs, is 10 times of left and right of current silicon materials carrier mobility, and has the physical propertys such as normal temperature quantum hall effect, this new material is paid close attention in field of electronic devices, at present, successfully produces graphene field effect transistor.
The development key of Digital Logical Circuits is to produce that size is less, power consumption is lower, respond metal-oxide semiconductor fieldeffect transistor (MOSFET) faster.According to Moore's Law, the transistor density of every 18 ~ 24 months integrated circuits doubles, operating frequency doubles, yet power consumption also improves more than one times, and this becomes the bottleneck of Moore's Law maximum, the nano-electron components and parts that therefore design and manufacture super low-power consumption are current problem demanding prompt solutions.And common back of the body grid graphene field effect transistor is all with the thick SiO of 300nm at present
2as gate dielectric layer, its input voltage is larger, and power consumption is also larger.
In Micrometer-Nanometer Processing Technology, reactive ion etching (RIE) is to utilize the physical effect of Ions Bombardment and the chemical effect of active particle that under high-frequency electric field, gas glow discharge produces to combine to realize a kind of technology of processing object.It has higher etch rate, the selectivity of good directivity, and the figure of energy etching fine structure, is the Perfected process of processing microelectronic component.
Summary of the invention
The object of the invention is in order to overcome the defect that at present common back of the body grid graphene field effect transistor input voltage is large, power consumption is larger, utilize reactive ion etching technology to prepare thin back of the body grid graphene field effect transistor, do not reduce the situation decline low input of its performance, reducing power consumption.

Embodiment
When the grid oxygen of field-effect transistor is 300 nm, the required grid voltage scope of its transfer characteristic is in-150 ~ 150 V left and right, and span is very large, is not suitable for the power consumption of general micro-nano electronic device.For the transducer based on graphene field effect transistor, wish that input voltage is controlled within the scope of 5 V, is conducive to the application of portable graphene device like this.In order to guarantee the performance of graphene field effect transistor, when reducing grid voltage, can provide enough current drives, be necessary to reduce the thickness of grid oxygen, therefore adopt reactive ion etching technology to obtain thin grid oxygen.
Referring to Fig. 1, the surface heat that is the N-shaped Si substrate 1 of 1 ~ 10 Ω cm in the resistivity thick SiO of 300 nm that grows
2dielectric layer 2.Referring to Fig. 2, with No. 1 mask plate to SiO
2dielectric layer 2 carries out photoetching, after development, with reactive ion etching technology etching SiO
2dielectric layer 2, forms groove 3, and the width b of groove is 3 ~ 8 μ m.Referring to Fig. 3, shift Graphene to the SiO after etching
2on dielectric layer 2, form Graphene raceway groove 4.Referring to Fig. 4, the TiW alloy that sputter 5 nm are thick successively on Graphene raceway groove 4 surfaces and the thick Au of 100 nm, with No. 2 mask plates, carry out photoetching, after development, in corrosion of metals liquid, corrode TiW/Au and form line style Au line and Au electrode slice, formed source electrode 5 and drain electrode 6, can prepare grid oxygen is the thin back of the body grid graphene field effect transistor that 10 nm are thick.
In the process of reactive ion etching groove 3, groove 3 degree of depth are relevant with the duration of etching, in the course of processing, the process conditions of reactive ion etching are: pressure: 1300 Torr, power: 500 W, fluoroform: 18 sccm, sulphur hexafluoride: 3.5 sccm, helium: 95 sccm, duration are 1 min.Because the width of groove 3 only has 3 ~ 8 μ m, and the hot spot that film thickness instrument penetrates is larger, the SiO of groove 3 bottoms
2thickness is difficult for directly recording by film thickness instrument.Therefore at SiO
2primary surface is selected an alignment mark, the SiO at alignment mark place
2siO with channel bottom
2be to machine under identical process conditions, can be used for indirectly determining groove 3 bottom SiO
2thickness, the SiO that film thickness instrument records
2thickness is 10 nm.
