Description

High-mobility spin field effect transistor and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of spin field effect transistors, in particular to a high-mobility spin field effect transistor and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The rapid development of current generation information technology is not free from the continuous progress of logic operation, information transmission and data storage technology. Over the past fifty years, the shrinking of semiconductor process technology has driven the ever increasing density of transistors and memory cells to follow moore's law. The spintronics opens up a new dimension for the utilization of the carriers by controlling, transmitting and detecting the spin property of the carriers, so that the spintronics becomes a new scheme expected to exceed the physical limit of the moore's law. The energy consumed to change only the spin state of the electrons is lower than to control the flow of charge. Besides, the electron spin can be coupled with the photon helicity, so that the instant transmission of data is realized. Therefore, the spintronic device is expected to become a low-energy-consumption and high-speed system solution for future information technology.
Among many spintronic devices, spin field effect transistors based on semiconductor channel materials such as InGaAs, InAs, etc. were the first to enter the field of view. Spin field effect transistors are first proposed by s. Datta and b. Das. Unlike conventional field effect transistors, spin field effect transistors employ magnetic materials as the source and drain. The spin precession of electrons is controlled by a grid electric field, so that when the spin electrons diffuse from a source electrode to a drain electrode, the spin polarization direction is the same as or opposite to the magnetization direction of the drain electrode, and the channel is switched on and off. However, only a few documents report that spin field effect transistors prepared by experiments have weak device signals and poor switching, wherein the main reasons include low polarizability of spin injection and detection, poor efficiency of semiconductor spin transport, and dependence of spin state regulation on large gate voltage. In order to solve these problems, the following aspects need to be addressed:
first, in order to achieve effective regulation of electron spin, electrons are required to have a large spin diffusion length and a large spin relaxation time in semiconductors. The conventional semiconductor material has short carrier spin relaxation time (tau s) (GaN) -22.5 ps, tau s (GaAs) -86 ps and tau s (InAs) -10 ps) and spin diffusion length (lambda s (GaN) -137 nm, lambda s (GaAs) -1 mu m and lambda s (InAs) -1.3 mu m) at room temperature. Therefore, finding a semiconductor material with longer spin relaxation time, longer spin diffusion length, and higher carrier mobility is an important prerequisite for improving the performance of the spintronic device.
Second, high performance spin field effect transistors rely on high polarizability injection and detection of the spinning electrons. Due to the impedance discontinuity effect of the semiconductor/ferromagnetic metal interface, the highest spin polarizability is achieved only if the contact resistance is close to the spin channel resistance. Usually, a very thin (1-2 nm) dielectric layer is inserted into the interface to form a magnetic tunnel junction as a spin detection electrode. The magnetic tunneling electrode adopting the MgO (001) tunneling layer has extremely high spin polarizability (92.6% at room temperature and corresponding tunneling magnetoresistance of 604%), and is a spin injection and detection structure commonly used in semiconductor spin devices. The MgO thin film grown by the conventional method is generally amorphous, and high temperature annealing under vacuum is required in order to convert it into a polycrystalline or single crystal structure having a lattice orientation of (001). However, ferromagnetic metals generally cannot withstand high temperatures, and the annealing temperature needs to be limited to 350 degrees or less, which affects the crystalline quality of the dielectric thin film, resulting in generally low polarizability for spin injection and detection. Therefore, the annealing treatment process needs to be designed reasonably, and the crystal quality of the tunneling layer needs to be improved as much as possible on the premise of not influencing the magnetic characteristics of the ferromagnetic metal.
Finally, the traditional Datta-Das spin field effect transistor mainly depends on the spin polarization direction of the spin electrons when the spin electrons drift from the source to the drain under the regulation of the precession of the electric field by the electric field of the grid. Due to the short spin diffusion length of the semiconductor, a large gate field is typically required to flip the spin polarization of the electrons within a finite drift distance. This results in a spin field effect transistor requiring a large turn-off voltage, limiting its performance. Therefore, it is necessary to explore how to obtain the gate electric field as large as possible under reasonable gate voltage conditions.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above technical problems in the related art, the present invention provides a high mobility spin field effect transistor and a method for fabricating the same, which can solve the above problems.
The invention faces the problems faced by the existing spin field effect transistor structure and preparation technology:
problem 1: the implementation of the spin field effect transistor depends on the high-efficiency transport of spin electrons in a semiconductor channel, however, the spin relaxation time of a carrier of a conventional semiconductor material at room temperature is short and is often in the order of ps. As a result, the carriers lose spin polarization after a short time of transport in the semiconductor channel and are therefore not detectable. Therefore, it is necessary to select a suitable semiconductor material or structure as a carrier transport channel to ensure that spin polarization is not lost during the carrier drift from the source to the drain.
The solution is as follows: in order to solve the problem of poor electron spin transport efficiency in the spin field effect transistor device, it is proposed to use a semiconductor heterojunction, a quantum well, or a two-dimensional electron gas structure in a two-dimensional material as a semiconductor channel (see fig. 3-8). In this structure, the transport of carriers is confined to a thin two-dimensional space, and a two-dimensional electron gas or a two-dimensional hole gas is characterized. The semiconductor channel may comprise at least one semiconductor A thin film layer, a heterojunction comprising a combination of at least one semiconductor B thin film layer and at least one semiconductor C thin film layer (wherein the forbidden bandwidths of the semiconductor B thin film layer and the semiconductor C thin film layer are generally different and form an I-type heterojunction), or a quantum well comprising a combination of at least one semiconductor D thin film layer, a semiconductor E thin film layer and a semiconductor E thin film layer (wherein the forbidden bandwidths of the semiconductor D thin film layer and the semiconductor E thin film layer are greater than those of the semiconductor E thin film layer).
Problem 2, the high performance spin field effect transistor needs to inject carriers with high spin polarization rate into the semiconductor channel, and can realize sensitive detection on the spin polarization direction of the carriers. At present, a spin tunneling electrode having a ferromagnetic metal/dielectric material structure is generally used as an injection and detection electrode for a spin current. In the current manufacturing process, in order to improve the crystal quality of the dielectric material, vacuum annealing is usually performed after depositing the dielectric material and the ferromagnetic metal. However, the magnetic metal layer cannot endure high temperature, the annealing temperature is limited below 350 ℃, so that the dielectric film cannot be completely crystallized, and the spin injection and detection efficiency is still poor.
The solution is as follows: spintronics devices rely on a spin tunneling layer with a ferromagnetic metal/dielectric material structure to inject spin current into the semiconductor channel, limited by the crystal quality of the dielectric material, and generally suffer from poor spin injection efficiency. In order to improve the crystal quality of the dielectric material, a vacuum annealing mode is generally adopted, however, the magnetic metal layer cannot resist high temperature, the annealing temperature is limited below 350 ℃, and the crystal quality of the dielectric thin film is affected. The invention provides an in-situ layering annealing process for growing a source electrode and a drain electrode, wherein a tunneling layer is grown or transferred on the surface of a semiconductor channel, the tunneling layer is fully crystallized through in-situ high-temperature annealing, a magnetic layer and a cover layer are grown after the temperature is reduced, and finally the magnetic anisotropy of the magnetic layer is regulated and controlled through low-temperature magnetic field annealing.
Problem 3: the traditional Datta-Das spin field effect transistor mainly depends on regulating the precession of spin electrons under an electric field through a grid electric field, and further controlling the spin polarization direction when the spin electrons drift from a source electrode to a drain electrode. Due to the short spin diffusion length of the semiconductor, a large gate voltage is usually required to flip the spin polarization of the electrons within a limited drift distance. Higher gate voltages affect the performance of the device and also increase the risk of gate leakage.
The solution is as follows: the traditional Datta-Das spin field effect transistor mainly depends on the spin polarization direction of spin electrons when the spin electrons drift from a source electrode to a drain electrode through the regulation and control of the precession of a gate electrode electric field under the electric field. Due to the short spin diffusion length of the semiconductor, a large gate voltage is usually required to flip the spin polarization of the electrons within a limited drift distance. In the present invention, the semiconductor channel is grown on a piezoelectric material substrate, wherein the substrate may be a thin sheet of material having piezoelectric properties, or a piezoelectric film is grown on another substrate. When grid voltage is applied, the surface of the piezoelectric material can generate a surface polarization field which is several times of that of a grid electric field, so that the precession of electron spin can be effectively regulated and controlled under the condition of lower grid voltage.
The invention has the beneficial effects that: (1) compared with the existing spin field effect transistor based on a single semiconductor channel, the semiconductor channel structure has the advantages of adjustable energy band structure, high mobility, adjustable carrier concentration and type, long spin diffusion length and the like; (2) compared with a spin field effect transistor with a traditional substrate, the substrate with piezoelectric property is introduced, the spin transport of a current carrier in a semiconductor channel can be regulated and controlled through a surface polarized electric field of the substrate, the on-off voltage can be effectively reduced, and the control effect of a grid electrode is improved; (3) compared with the existing spin field effect transistor preparation process, the invention can optimize the crystal quality of the spin tunneling layer, improve the spin polarizability of carriers, further improve the on-off ratio of the device and reduce the working current.
