图1是根据本说明书的一个实施例的层叠结构100的截面示意图。层叠结构100可以包括微电子衬底102,例如适当的包含硅的材料。可以在微电子衬底102上形成缓冲层104。在本说明书的一个实施例中,所述缓冲层104可以由砷化镓(GaAs)形成。
应当理解的是,可以在形成缓冲层104之前在微电子衬底102上形成成核层(未示出),并且所述缓冲层104可以包括多个层。也可以对缓冲层104进行分级(grade),以提供滑动位错(gliding dislocation)和对微电子衬底102和将形成在缓冲层104之上的底部阻挡层之间的晶格失配的控制。
在形成缓冲层104之后,可以在缓冲层104上形成底部阻挡层106。在一个实施例中,底部阻挡层106可以由具有比将形成在底部阻挡层106上的量子阱的材料更大的带隙的材料形成。在一个实施例中,底部阻挡层106可以包括铟铝砷(InxAl1-xAs)。在另一个实施例中,底部阻挡层106可以被分级。在具体实施例中,底部阻挡层106可以包括铟铝砷(InxAl1-xAs),其中可以从x等于零到x等于0.52进行分级。因此,在底部阻挡层106和缓冲层104之间的界面处的成分可以以砷化铝(AlAs)开始且可以以在其另一个边界的In0.52Al0.48As结束。在另一个实施例中,底部阻挡层106可以包括铟铝砷(InxAl1-xAs),其中分级可以是线性的,通过从砷化铝(AlAs)直到达到铟铝砷的成分(例如In0.52Al0.48As)以线性增加的方式在形成期间改变铟的供给。在又一个实施例中,底部阻挡层106可以包括具有非线性分级的铟铝砷(InxAl1-xAs),其中,可以以非线性地增加的方式提供铟供给以使得底部阻挡层106可以在该底部缓冲层106的物理中点具有大于或小于一半浓度的铟。如本领域技术人员将理解的那样,通过形成底部缓冲层106,位错可以沿着其中的相对对角面滑动。
在形成底部阻挡层106之后,可以在其上形成下量子阱108。在一个实施例中,下量子阱108可以由具有比底部阻挡层106的带隙更小的带隙的材料形成。在一个实施例中,下量子阱108可以从铟镓砷形成。在具体实施例中,下量子阱108可以是铟镓砷,即InxGa1-xAs,其中x在大约0.53和0.8之间。在实施例中,可以对下量子阱108进行掺杂以提高效率。在各种实施例中,可以用p型掺杂剂(例如硼)或n型掺杂剂(例如磷)来对下量子阱108进行掺杂。可以通过本领域任何公知技术来实现对下量子阱108的掺杂。此外,如本领域技术人员将理解的那样,下量子阱108可以被直接掺杂或通过经由随后形成的层或多个层的Δ掺杂(delta doping)进行掺杂。此外,如本领域技术人员将理解的那样,下量子阱108可以被调制掺杂(modulation dope)。
可以在下量子阱108之上形成阻挡层112。在一个实施例中,阻挡层112可以包含铟铝砷,例如InxAl1-xAs。
可以在阻挡层112其上形成上量子阱114。在一个实施例中,上量子阱114可以由铟镓砷形成。在具体实施例中,上量子阱108可以包含铟镓砷,即InxGa1-xAs,其中x在大约0.53和0.8之间。在一个实施例中,可以对上量子阱114进行掺杂以提高效率。在各种实施例中,可以用p型掺杂剂(例如硼)或n型掺杂剂(例如磷)来对上量子阱114进行掺杂。可以通过本领域任何公知技术来实现对上量子阱114的掺杂。此外,如本领域技术人员将理解的那样,上量子阱114可以被直接掺杂或通过经由随后形成的层或多个层的Δ掺杂进行掺杂。此外,如本领域技术人员将理解的那样,上量子阱114可以被调制掺杂。
在一个实施例中,下量子阱108和上量子阱114两者均可以是未掺杂的。在另一个实施例中,下量子阱108和上量子阱114两者均可以是经掺杂的。在进一步的实施例中,下量子阱108和上量子阱114中的一个可以是经掺杂的,而另一个是未掺杂的。
可以在上量子阱114之上任选地形成顶部阻挡层116。在一个实施例中,顶部阻挡层116可以包含铟铝砷,例如InxAl1-xAs。
应当理解的是,图1所示的层叠结构100仅仅是示例性的,并且如本领域技术人员将理解的那样,为了达到期望的结果,其可以包括多个缓冲层、阻挡层、调制掺杂光晕层(halo layer)、间隔层等。此外,在不偏离本说明书的情况下,可以使用多种材料和系统。进一步应当理解的是,层叠结构100中的各个层可以通过本领域任何公知技术来制造,这些技术包括但不限于:化学气相沉积(“CVD”)、物理气相沉积(“PVD”)、原子层沉积(“ALD”)、分子束外延(MBE)、金属有机化学气相沉积外延(MOCVDepi)、超高真空CVD外延(UHCVD epi)和降低温度的CVD外延(RTCVDepi)。
如图2所示,可以在顶部阻挡层116上对掩模118进行构图。可以通过本领域任何公知技术来形成掩模118,所述技术包括但不限于光刻。然后可以如图3所示那样蚀刻图2的层叠结构100,其中,由掩模118保护的所述层(缓冲层104、底部阻挡层106、下量子阱108、阻挡层112、上量子阱114和顶部阻挡层116)保留下来,从而形成双量子阱堆叠结构120。在本说明书的各个实施例中,所述蚀刻可以选择性地停止在缓冲层104中或缓冲层104上,如图3所示,或者可以选择性地停止在底部阻挡层106上或底部阻挡层106中。
如图4所示,掩模118可以被除去,并且邻接双量子阱堆叠结构120形成电介质材料122。在一个实施例中,电介质材料122可以被均厚沉积在双量子阱堆叠结构120之上,然后被平坦化以具有与顶部阻挡层116的外表面126基本齐平的外表面124。电介质材料122可以包括但不限于:二氧化硅(SiO2)、氮氧化硅(SiOxNy)和氮化硅(Si3N4)。可以通过本领域公知的任何技术来平坦化电介质材料122,这些技术包括但不限于:湿法或干法蚀刻和化学机械抛光。
如图5所示,可以在顶部阻挡层外表面126上形成栅极电极132。如将描述的那样,栅极电极132可以用来调整上量子阱114中的电子密度。在一个实施例中,栅极电介质134可以形成在栅极电极132和顶部阻挡层116之间。栅极电介质134可以是任何适当的电介质材料,包括但不限于高K(高介电常数)材料,例如,氧化铪、氧化铪硅、氧化镧、氧化镧铝、氧化锆、氧化锆硅、氧化钽、氧化钛、氧化钡锶钛、氧化钡钛、氧化锶钛、氧化钇、氧化铝、氧化铅钪钽和铌酸铅锌。如本领域技术人员将理解的那样,可以通过公知的技术来制造栅极电极132和/或栅极电介质134,这些技术例如是化学气相沉积(“CVD”)、物理气相沉积(“PVD”)、原子层沉积(“ALD”),并且随后用公知的光刻和蚀刻技术来进行构图。
如图6所示,可以邻接栅极电极132的侧面138形成栅极电介质间隔体136。栅极电介质间隔体136可以由任何适当的电介质材料形成,包括但不限于二氧化硅(SiO2)和氮化硅(Si3N4)。如本领域技术人员将理解的那样,可以通过任何公知的技术来制造栅极电介质间隔体136,这些技术包括但不限于共形沉积和随后的蚀刻。
如图7所示,可以在栅极电极132、栅极电介质间隔体136、顶部阻挡层外表面126和电介质材料外表面124之上形成层间电介质142。层间电介质142可以是任何适当的电介质材料,包括但不限于二氧化硅(SiO2)。如本领域技术人员将理解的那样,可以通过任何公知的技术来制造层间电介质142,这些技术包括但不限于沉积和随后的平坦化。
如图8所示,第一开口部144可以形成为穿过层间电介质142和顶部阻挡层116以暴露上量子阱114的部分。可以通过本领域公知的任何技术来形成第一开口部144,这些技术包括但不限于:光刻蚀刻、激光钻孔、离子钻孔、湿法蚀刻、干法蚀刻或它们的任意结合。在一个实施例中,可以使用光刻蚀刻技术,其中,在层间电介质142上对掩模(未示出)进行构图。然后,可以用相对于上量子阱114的材料具有选择性的蚀刻剂通过掩模(未示出)来蚀刻层间电介质142和顶部阻挡层116,以使得蚀刻停止在上量子阱114上或上量子阱114中。
如图9所示,可以在第一开口部144(参见图8)中形成上量子阱接触部146。可以通过本领域中任何公知的技术来形成上量子阱接触部146。在一个实施例中,可以例如通过化学气相沉积(“CVD”)、物理气相沉积(“PVD”)、原子层沉积(“ALD”)等在第一开口部144(参见图8)中和在层间电介质142的外表面148上沉积导电材料。然后可以从层间电介质外表面148除去导电材料的部分,例如通过化学机械抛光或蚀刻从层间电介质外表面148除去导电材料的部分,以形成上量子阱接触部146。导电材料可以包括但不限于:铜、铝、银、钛、金、它们的合金等。
如图10-13所示,然后可以形成下量子阱接触部。如图10所示,可以穿过层间电介质142、顶部阻挡层116和上量子阱114形成第二开口部152。可以通过本领域中公知的任何技术来形成第二开口部152,这些技术包括但不限于:光刻蚀刻、激光钻孔、离子钻孔、湿法蚀刻、干法蚀刻或它们的任意结合。在一个实施例中,可以使用光刻蚀刻技术,其中,在层间电介质142上对掩模(未示出)进行构图。然后,可以用相对于上量子阱114的材料具有选择性的第一蚀刻剂通过掩模(未示出)来蚀刻层间电介质142和顶部阻挡层116,以使得蚀刻停止在上量子阱114上或上量子阱114中。然后可以采用第二蚀刻剂来蚀刻穿过上量子阱114。第二蚀刻剂可以相对于阻挡层112的材料具有选择性,以使得蚀刻停止在阻挡层112上或阻挡层112中。
如图11所示,为了将上量子阱114与随后形成的下量子阱接触部隔离,可以在第二开口部152的侧壁156上形成接触部电介质间隔体154。接触部电介质间隔体154可以由任何适当的电介质材料形成,包括但不限于二氧化硅(SiO2)和氮化硅(Si3N4)。如本领域中技术人员将理解的那样,可以通过任何公知的技术来制造接触部电介质间隔体154,这些技术包括但不限于共形沉积和随后的蚀刻以暴露第二开口部152内的阻挡层112的部分。
然后可以采用第三蚀刻剂来穿过阻挡层112延伸第二开口部152。第三蚀刻剂可以相对于上量子阱114的材料具有选择性,以使得蚀刻停止在上量子阱114上或上量子阱114中。应当理解的是,第三蚀刻剂可以和第一蚀刻剂相同。
如图13所示,可以在第二开口部152(参见图12)中形成下量子阱接触部158。可以通过本领域中任何公知的技术来形成下量子阱接触部158。在一个实施例中,可以例如通过化学气相沉积(“CVD”)、物理气相沉积(“PVD”)、原子层沉积(“ALD”)等在第二开口部152(参见图12)中和在层间电介质外表面142上沉积导电材料。可以从层间电介质外表面148除去导电材料的部分,例如通过化学机械抛光或蚀刻从层间电介质外表面148除去导电材料的部分,以形成下量子阱接触部158。导电材料可以包括但不限于:铜、铝、银、钛、金、它们的合金等。
应当理解的是,在适当的情况下,可以同时执行用于形成上量子阱接触部146和下量子阱接触部158的各个制造步骤,例如蚀刻、沉淀和光刻构图。
如图13所示,所得到的微电子器件160是双量子阱系统,其中,上量子阱114和下量子阱108中的每一个相对于另一个均基本上是平面的。换言之,上量子阱114和下量子阱108基本上是二维(2D)的,并且由上量子阱114和下量子阱108形成的平面基本上彼此平行。由于上量子阱114和下量子阱108各自具有独立的接触部(即分别是上量子阱接触部146和下量子阱接触部158)且由阻挡层112分隔开,所以上量子阱114和下量子阱108彼此不直接电接触。
微电子器件160的操作基于上量子阱114和下量子阱108之间的直接垂直隧穿。换言之,其基于基本上平行的二维(2D)量子阱之间的隧穿。底层器件的物理特性在于,能量-动量守恒仅当电子密度在上量子阱114和下量子阱108之间匹配时才允许进行隧穿。栅极电极132可以用来调整上量子阱114的电子密度以匹配电子密度,从而操作微电子器件160。因此,如本领域技术人员将理解的那样,通过使用漏极偏置或栅极偏置以使得上量子阱114和下量子阱108中的电子密度不平衡,可以在微电子器件160的IV特性中实现负微分电阻。
在图14中示出的一个示例中,电流(如线162所示)可以从漏极164流到上量子阱接触部146,经过上量子阱接触部146流到上量子阱114中,隧穿阻挡层112进入下量子阱108,并且经过下量子阱接触部158流到与下量子阱接触部158连接的源极166。
微电子器件160可以达到高的峰值驱动电流以实现性能,并且可以达到高的峰谷电流比以实现低功耗和噪声容限。这是因为如下事实:能量-动量守恒可以急剧地抑制上量子阱114和下量子阱108之间的隧穿电流。因此,微电子器件160可能被用作振荡器,或用于存储器和/或逻辑集成电路应用。
虽然本说明书中的双量子阱结构160用铟镓砷量子阱和铟铝砷阻挡层(即InGaAs/InAlAs系统)的示例来描述,但是本领域技术人员应当理解的是,可以用各种量子阱系统来制造双量子阱结构160。在一个实施例中,可以用各种III-V族量子阱系统来制造量子阱系统,这些III-V族量子阱系统包括但不限于:砷化镓/铝镓砷系统(GaAs/AlGaAs)、砷化镓/砷化铝系统(GaAs/AlAs)、锑化铟/铟铝锑系统(InSb/InAlSb)、锑化铟/铟镓锑系统(InSb/InGaSb)等。在另一个实施例中,可以用各种II-VI族量子阱系统来制造量子阱系统,这些II-VI族量子阱系统包括但不限于:硒化锌/锌镉硒系统(ZnSe/ZnCdSe)。在又一个实施例中,可以用硅和锗来制造量子阱系统,所述硅和锗包括但不限于:锗/锗化硅系统(Ge/SiGe)、锗化硅/硅系统(SiGe/硅)等。如本领域技术人员将理解的那样,在其它的实施例中,可以由4族量子阱系统来制造量子阱系统,或者可以由任何适用的通用异质结构、双量子阱系统来制造量子阱系统。
