Description

Nanometer phonon crystal and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The disclosure relates to the field of acoustic wave device preparation, in particular to a nano phonon crystal and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The acoustic device is a device for regulating and controlling the sound wave, and compared with the electromagnetic wave device, the volume of the acoustic device is smaller under the same frequency. Therefore, in the trend of high density integration of integrated circuits, acoustic wave devices have greater advantages. The working frequency of the acoustic device can reach 10 under the micro-nano scale 9 Hz, its frequency is high and transmission loss is small. Based on this, micro-nano acoustic devices such as surface acoustic wave devices, phonon crystals, and the like have wide applications.
Phononic crystals are an acoustic device with a periodic structure. When the sound wave passes through the phonon crystal, the sound wave is subjected to the action of a periodic structure, and the dispersion relation shows an energy band structure. The transmission of sound waves in the passband frequency range in the energy band is not suppressed, while sound waves in the bandgap frequency range are suppressed. Therefore, the sound wave can be regulated and controlled by utilizing the characteristic of the phonon crystal, so that the phonon crystal has great application potential in the directions of vibration reduction, noise reduction and the like. In particular, it can be used to prepare acoustic bandpass/bandstop filters of specific frequencies.
In the existing nano phonon crystal, the formation of energy bands depends on a geometric structure, and if the required passband/band gap frequency requirement range is to be changed, a preparation device is required to be redesigned, so that the regulation and control of the energy bands are not facilitated; in addition, the existing nano phonon crystal has larger volume and mass, lower theoretical resonance frequency and higher loss.

The method of preparing nano-phononic crystals according to one embodiment of the present disclosure further includes step S405 of covering the support posts 104 and at least a portion of the source-drain electrodes 204 with the vibration layer 401. In one embodiment, the step of covering the support column 104 and at least a portion of the source-drain electrode 204 with a single vibration layer 401, or the step of covering the support column 104 and at least a portion of the source-drain electrode 204 with multiple vibration layers.
Fig. 5A-5D schematically illustrate a process diagram for transferring a vibrating layer of nano-phonon crystals to support posts and electrodes prepared using the process illustrated in fig. 4A-4I, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
Referring to fig. 5A to 5D, the step of covering a single layer of the vibration layer 401 on at least a portion of the support column 104 and the source drain electrode 204 includes: adhering an adhesive layer 502 on a glass slide 503; attaching the single-layer vibration layer 401 to the adhesive layer 502 to form a carrying glass slide with the single-layer vibration layer; one surface of the slide glass 503 with the single-layer vibration layer 401 is bonded to at least a part of the support column 104 and the source/drain electrode 204, thereby forming the single-layer vibration layer 401.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 5A to 5B, a two-dimensional material adhesive layer 502 is stuck on the surface of a slide glass 503 to form an extract slide; the side of the adhesive tape 501 containing the vibration layer 401 to be transferred, which contains the vibration layer 401 to be transferred, is aligned with and attached to the adhesive layer 502 on the slide 503, as shown in fig. 5A; tearing off the tape 501 results in a structure with the vibration layer 401 on the adhesive layer 502 as shown in fig. 5B.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the adhesion layer material comprises Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS); the shape and size of the adhesive layer are square with a side length of 0.3 cm-2 cm, for example 0.4cm, 0.5cm, 1cm, 1.5cm. Embodiments of the present disclosure employ PDMS with a square side of 4mm as the material of the adhesive layer. The adhesive tape is a Scotch810 single-sided adhesive tape; the material of the vibration layer is graphene.
As shown in fig. 5C-5D, the slide with the vibration layer 401 is inverted on a fixed displacement table (not shown) that is moved to align the slide with periodically arranged support columns 104, as shown in fig. 5C; the vibration layer 401 can cover the first metal layer 201, the second metal layer 203 and part of the source-drain electrode 204 (not shown in fig. 5C-5D) on the periodically arranged support columns 104, and after the vibration layer is completely attached, the lifting slide is slowly lifted to form a suspension structure, so that the transfer of the vibration layer 401 is completed.
According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the vibration layer obtained by the transfer method is of a film structure with a complete surface, so that the nano phonon crystal of the embodiment of the disclosure has the vibration layer with the complete surface. Therefore, the possibility of cracking of the vibration layer in the preparation process can be effectively reduced, the failure of the vibration layer caused by inconsistent aperture size and aperture interval of the periodic holes in the process of processing the periodic holes is reduced, and the possibility of lower performance of nano phonon crystals is avoided; on the other hand, the possibility that the surface of the vibration layer is polluted due to the fact that the etching technology is directly used for the vibration layer, and then defects are generated on the surface of the vibration layer is avoided.
As shown in fig. 1, the nano-phonon crystal shown in fig. 1 is finally obtained by the preparation method of the nano-phonon crystal of S401 to S405.
FIG. 6 schematically illustrates a schematic diagram of a nano-phononic crystal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure; fig. 7 schematically shows a relationship between a voltage applied to the gate electrode and a resonance frequency of the vibration layer in the nano-phonon crystal of fig. 6.
As shown in fig. 6, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a frequency-modulated microwave voltage signal is applied to a source electrode of the nano-photonic crystal in fig. 6, an electrostatic voltage is applied to a gate electrode for modulation, a mixing current is measured at a drain electrode, and a graph of a relationship between a voltage applied to the gate electrode and a resonance frequency of a vibration layer in the nano-photonic crystal shown in fig. 7 is drawn.
As shown in fig. 7, from the graph of the relationship between the resonant frequency and the gate voltage of the nano-phonon crystal, a plurality of adjacent band-shaped resonant modes are formed in fig. 7, that is, when the gate voltage is changed, the resonant frequency of the graphene nano-phonon crystal also moves, which means that the nano-phonon crystal of the present disclosure can regulate the band structure of the phonon crystal through the voltage of the gate.
According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the entire preparation flow of the preparation method performs the alignment of the overlay of the entire preparation process by using one overlay exposure mark 301.
The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure is not intended to limit the disclosure, but rather to cover all modifications, equivalents, improvements and alternatives falling within the spirit and principles of the present disclosure.
