Definitions
- Parameterized semiconductor composite structure with integrated doping channels process for the production and use thereof
- the invention relates to a parameterized semiconductor composite structure with at least one semiconductor substrate with selectable p or n doping and electrical conductivity and an adjacent planar layer made of an electrically insulating material with essentially vertically integrated doping channels, into which an electrically conductive material with selectable electrical conductivity is introduced, with charge carriers migrating in the semiconductor composite structure, and an electrical contacting of a plurality of electrodes arranged on the layer of an electrically insulating material and the semiconductor substrate, to a method for producing and to an application thereof.
- Semiconductor composite structures implemented in modern semiconductor components, have become an integral part of everyday life. They are used in data processing, communication, multimedia and in most everyday devices. The miniaturization of semiconductor components in integrated circuits enables today's computers and modern data communication. Semiconductor composite structures for high-speed and optoelectronics are also being developed. The progressive miniaturization of semiconductor composite structures also leads to new effects. Due to the small dimensions of structures with a few nanometers, the direct quantization of the charge carriers in these structures can be observed.
- Such a concept is known from US 2002/0192441 A1 in the form of a nanocomposite, which is produced by introducing a conductive material into a porous material.
- Various functions are to be carried out by applying purely electrical contacts, but only a single electrically active nanostructured film layer is present.
- an inorganic semiconductor wire is embedded in a matrix made of another organic semiconductor (type organic substrate / inorganic pores).
- the source-drain channel is designed as a plurality of parallel silicon needles.
- a preferred direction of the conductive needles is not specified, but each area of the nanocomposite should have a continuous electrical connection to an outer electrode.
- US 2003/0057451 A1 discloses an optoelectronic component in which electroluminescence and photoluminescence are to be used.
- uniform nano-needles are etched out of the silicon substrate in a complex manufacturing process, whereby all silicon needles act as diodes connected in parallel and have the same potential.
- the insulator layer initially applied to the silicon substrate only fulfills a temporary auxiliary function during the etching process for producing the silicon needles.
- a possible later embedding of the silicon needles in an insulator layer only fulfills protective functions against contamination and destruction.
- Lithography methods are used, which include interference methods and etching methods.
- a composite structure is known from US Pat. No. 6,201,291 B1, which has metallic conductive tracks in an electrically insulating SiO 2 layer which is arranged on a semiconductor body.
- this arrangement serves exclusively for the electrical connection of various components integrated in the semiconductor body.
- Diffusion barriers integrated in the SiO 2 layer serve in particular to prevent charge carrier migration into the semiconductor body.
- a similar semiconductor composite structure is known from WO 02/08900 A2, in which conductive tracks are likewise applied to an electrically insulating layer on a semiconductor body.
- the guide tracks serve exclusively for the purely ohmic connection of electronic circuits integrated in the semiconductor body.
- Similar structures are also known for the vertical connection of multiple circuit levels.
- ISFET electrolyte with different pH values
- ISFET electrolyte with different pH values
- These sensors use porous silicon for sensor purposes in transistors, whereby the pores are not used directly. Rather, the surface of the porous silicon is coated with SiO 2 and S.3N 4 , so that on This creates a thin, folded capacitor structure (type semiconductor-insulator-semiconductor) that has a very large area. Deposited material, for example of a biological nature, on the surface of the S- 3 N 4 changes its surface charge. As a result, the capacitance of the capacitor is increased while the voltage is fixed.
- porous aluminum oxide has a very high pore density and is highly temperature-resistant. On the other hand, it is very sensitive to alkalis and acids, which limits the possibility of the deposition of sensor materials within the pores and largely prohibits their use in non-neutral liquids. Furthermore, porous aluminum oxide is very fragile, so that a stable substrate is required in rough use. The integration of a miniature heating element can be provided to change the resistance. The sensors are only operated resistively. From US 6 278 231 B1 it is also known for the production of sensors to produce nanopores in Al 2 O 3 with an incorporation of different materials within the pores. However, only simple resistive sensor structures with simple surface contacts are designed.
- a sensor for the detection of magnetic radiation which consists of a solid with anisotropic conduction properties.
- the properties of the entire insulating solid are changed and made highly anisotropic in one direction by a high radiation dose to produce phase changes.
- a very special amorphous metal-rich insulator must therefore be used as the starting material, which is destroyed along the ion traces in such a way that metal atoms are released locally. These are then to be clustered by tempering.
- DE 101 21 011 A1 describes a semiconductor composite structure made of a p-doped silicon substrate with an adjacent silicon dioxide layer, into which vertical doping channels in the form of through-contact holes are integrated as bit line contacts.
- the contact holes are filled with a metal so that electrons can migrate into the silicon substrate.
- the known semiconductor structure is parameterized via doping implantation.
- semiconductor components for example DRAMs
- contacting with electrodes (not shown further) is provided.
- this known semiconductor composite structure only simple ohmic contacts are realized.
- Other semiconductor components in particular also those with a different physical functionality, cannot be implemented.
- All other similarly realized semiconductor structures known from the prior art are also inflexible with regard to their construction, their construction materials and their design, so that there is a great inconsistency and difference between the individual semiconductor structures. The same applies to the corresponding manufacturing processes.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to develop a parameterized semiconductor structure of the type described in the introduction in such a way that great flexibility and universality arise with regard to semiconductor components which can be formed and their physical functionality.
- the semiconductor composite structure should nevertheless be uniform in its structure in all of the formable semiconductor components and should have as few differences as possible.
- the semiconductor composite structure should be simple and inexpensive to manufacture, which should also apply to a preferred manufacturing process. Trained semiconductor components should then have only slight differences in their basic structure.
- the solution to this task can be found in the main claim.
- a preferred manufacturing method for the parameterized semiconductor structure according to the invention is shown in a method claim.
- Advantageous embodiments can be found in the respective subclaims. to take.
- preferred applications of the parameterized semiconductor structure according to the invention are shown in an application claim.
- the desired flexibility with regard to the implementation of components is achieved exclusively by parameterizing the new structure, as a result of which there is great uniformity between the components that can be implemented.
- the term "parameterization” should be understood to mean the selectable setting of various parameters of the structure.
- the semiconductor composite structure according to the invention can be used universally as a uniform starting material in a basic arrangement.
- the selectable setting of the internal structure parameters such as layer thickness and substrate doping, can Due to the number and arrangement of the electrodes, different components can also be designed in an electrically coupled form, for example multi-stage logic components.
- each point or each pore in the semiconductor composite structure according to the invention has different potential
- parameters with a large influence on the functional behavior of the semiconductor composite structure according to the invention in particular represent the geometric configurations and distribution of the pores and the electrically conductive ones Coating represents. This influence even extends to the physical functionality of the semiconductor composite structure according to the invention, so that both an electronic and an optoelectronic and / or a sensor behavior can be pronounced without losing the great uniformity of the semiconductor composite structure according to the invention.
- the decisive factor in the parameterization is always that the function-giving, strongly pronounced anisotropic conductivity (vertical conductivity at least a factor of 10 6 higher than the horizontal conductivity) of the vertical, conductive pores and thus heterogeneous anisotropic layer made of electrically insulating material is set.
- the anisotropy can be intrinsically or artificially impressed.
- TEMPOS the semiconductor composite structure according to the invention
- TEMPOS being the acronym from the name “Tunable Electronic Material with Pores On Semiconductors”.
- This name clearly shows that the pores (ion traces or "tracks") in the electrically insulating layer (especially oxide layer) are the essentially new thing about the TEMPOS structure, through which charge carriers can be extracted from or injected into the underlying substrate (especially silicon) .
- the flexible functional behavior, in particular also the switching behavior, of the TEMPOS structure is characterized in particular by the use of these additional charge carriers, in addition to the influenced charge carriers of the classic semiconductor composite structure, the additional charge carriers being both complementary charge carriers and similar types can act.
- the migration of the additional charge carriers in the TEMPOS structure is made possible not only from the pores, but in particular also from the surface of the electrically insulating layer between the individual pores and towards the latter.
- a covering of electrically conductive material is also provided here, which, however, due to its high resistance, due to the material itself or due to its distribution can be brought about, expresses such a sufficiently high resistance between the electrodes that only the mentioned additional migration is made possible, but short circuits between the electrodes are reliably prevented.
- An alternative low resistance on the surface would cause a short circuit between the electrodes, so that the TEMPOS structure could only fulfill a very restricted function as a diode or sensor.
- a low impedance in the pores is acceptable, and the function that can be performed then depends directly on the exact magnitude of the resistance formed: if the resistance is small enough, an inverse semiconductor characteristic can be produced, which also occurs when pores with a very large diameter are formed .
- a very small pore resistance there is a direct short circuit between the surface and the conductive substrate, so that the surface potential is directly coupled to that of the conductive substrate through the pores. If the surface resistance is greater than the substrate resistance, which is the normal case, then the electronic function of the TEMPOS structure is essentially only determined by the substrate resistance, so that the function of a resistance which can be controlled by the base contact is achieved here.
- the design of the covering made of electrically conductive, high-resistance material in and on the surface between the pores in the invention provides a number of different parameters which are responsible for the functional behavior of the TEMPOS structure.
- the distribution of the material plays a major role in achieving the specified potential relationships.
- the electrically conductive material can have a continuous or structured flat or island or point-shaped distribution, mixed forms also being possible. It can therefore advantageously be provided that the electrically conductive material is designed in the form of nanoclusters with a selectable size and is introduced into the pores with a selectable dispersion density and is applied to the layer made of an electrically insulating material.
- the nanoclusters can be combined in one wide range of sizes (multidispers) with varying cluster-cluster distances. This "lubricates" the quantum electronic effects that are actually to be expected with nanocluster transitions because of their individually different orders of magnitude and distances, so that the "classic" electronic effects can be observed. Given their distribution, predetermined potential relationships can be easily set. A larger distance between the clusters causes a large ohmic resistance, which in particular prevents the flow of short-circuit currents, whereas a high cluster density requires a low ohmic resistance with a high charge density, which enables optimal migration of charge carriers.
- the parameters when using clusters are their size, their composition and their distribution. The influence of the different parameters on the functional behavior of the TEMPOS structure is easy for the person skilled in the art to understand and can be implemented in the various applications.
- a coating with particularly homogeneous properties results if all nanoclusters of the electrically conductive material are in the same selected size range.
- monodisperse and equidistant nanoclusters can also be introduced into the tracks and onto the surface of the TEMPOS structure, so that the quantum effects in each individual track are clearly visible and overlap the classic characteristics. Due to the monodisperse appearance, a homogeneous distribution of the clusters can easily be achieved without mutual contact, so that correspondingly homogeneous properties can also be produced.
- the ordered nanoclusters along the trace direction act like parallel chains of quantum dots and step-like current-voltage characteristics result, which are determined by the theory of the conductivity of double-barrier structures taking into account Coulomb-Blockade effects and resonant tunneling of single electrons become.
- Metal-doped porphyry molecules are also suitable as nanoparticles in etched ion traces, the size distribution of which is monodisperse and can be arranged more or less equidistantly.
- the electrical resistance of these nanocluster chains has different temperature dependencies. In the first case, the resistance increases linearly with the temperature, in the second case it drops sharply before it increases again slightly. This provides another way of tailoring the parameter dependency on TEMPOS structures.
- Clusters are relatively easy to manufacture and their size and composition can be easily varied. As processes for the production of monodisperse and aquidistant nanoclusters on planar and in inner ion track surfaces e.g. in question:
- nanotubes made of fuerenes can also be formed in the pores, a nickel nanocrystal preferably being introduced as the nucleus galvanically onto the previously exposed semiconductor substrate and the nanotubes then grown in the etched ion traces become.
- the nanotubes are preferably not deposited from an arc discharge, but by other techniques, for example from a plasma, in order to reduce the deposition of additional amorphous carbon layers and to enable such plasma formation that the nanotube deposition preferably takes place in the etched ion traces , However, the nanotubes can also grow out of the pores in the manner of hair.
- TEMPOS structures with integrated buckytubes not only have the usual TEM-POS properties, they also couple mechanical and electronic properties of the nanotubes. For example, every movement of the nanotubes will lead to a change in the capacitance of the entire component, which can be used for switching processes. This means that the finest accelerations and wind currents can be measured (applications such as probes in the human respiratory system); the component could be used as a nanoscale (eg for viruses, proteins, etc.), with each nanotube being used as a balance beam. If the tubes are locally coated with an insulator, electrostatic fields can be measured with them; a local coating of magnetic material would make this device a sensor for magnetic fields.
- Nanowires made of selenium, tellurium or other materials can also be introduced into the ion traces.
- the mechanical changes in the flexible wires can be recorded as an electronic signal by capacitive coupling. It is particularly advantageous here that Se and Te are piezoelectric.
- any sufficiently high-resistance electrically conductive material is suitable for the covering. If the intrinsic conductivity is too high, ie if the material would cause short circuits when used directly, such as with metals, the conductivity can be specifically reduced by not applying the material homogeneously, but in the form of spatially separated disperse clusters or tubes. Then the conductivity of the material is through Schottky emission, tunneling or the like causes and lies many orders of magnitude below the original conductivity with a homogeneous application.
- the electrically conductive material is a dispersed metal (for example silver, tungsten, copper or aluminum copper), a semiconductor compound (for example an III / V semiconductor such as GaAs or an II / IV semiconductor such as CdS), a carbon allotrope (e.g. diamond, graphite, graphite-like carbon, amorphous carbon and fullerene (buckyballs and buckytubes)), an oxidic semiconductor (e.g. ZnO, TiO 2 , SnO), a conductive oxide (e.g. ITO (indium tin oxide)) or is a mixed form of it.
- Ferrofluids can also be used due to their poorly conductive colloidal structure.
- Silver in particular can be easily separated in cluster form and provides a large amount of additional charge carriers.
- Mixed forms of different metals combine the positive properties of the individual components.
- sufficiently low conductivity that is to say sufficient high resistance
- continuous layers of very high resistance materials such as fullerite can also be used.
- the covering made of electrically conductive material also contributes significantly to the functional characteristics of the semiconductor structure according to the invention.
- the electrically conductive material can be supplemented or replaced by a sensor-active material with electrical conductivity for a special substance, in particular moisture or steam, so that a sensory functionality of the TEMPOS structure can be pronounced, which opens up a completely new area of application for the TEMPOS Structure is opened up.
- a sensor-active material with electrical conductivity for a special substance, in particular moisture or steam, so that a sensory functionality of the TEMPOS structure can be pronounced, which opens up a completely new area of application for the TEMPOS Structure is opened up.
- TEMPOS structure can be increased by using fullerite, for example Lead moisture, temperature, alcohol, acetone and / or photo detectors. Most of these individual parameters can not only be detected separately, but can also be detected at the same time, since they can be discriminated from one another due to the different influence on the respective component characteristics.
- buckytubes carbon nanotubes
- buckytubes Since both the ohmic resistance and the capacity of a felt-like layer made of buckytubes change during their mechanical deformation, there is the possibility here of printing the TEMPOS structure
- Such sensors are used, for example, in vacuum and high pressure technology, the sound industry, medicine and the automotive industry. Due to the possibility of using buckytubes as transistors or light emitters, there is a combination with the TEMPOS structure other applications.
- the TEMPOS structure can therefore be used as sensors for alcohol, methane, natural gas and others. be applied. There are application possibilities in the natural gas industry from the promotion to the budget phase.
- etched ion traces can thus be used as a photomultiplier, so that a multichannel amplifier plate can be formed with the corresponding TEMPOS structure, with all dimensions being scaled down by one to two orders of magnitude compared to the articles which are currently commercially available.
- the electron swarms striking the conductive substrate (silicon channel) as a result of the etched ion traces are converted into analog electronic pulses in the associated component circuit, so that these can then be used as radiation detectors.
- the dramatic size reduction is particularly important for satellite applications in space and for portable systems.
- the reduced mean free path length of the electrons in the ion tracks as electron multiplier channels due to the smaller dimensions makes it possible to reduce the demands on the associated vacuum system, which leads to further cost and weight savings. Furthermore, the time periods of the electronic pulses are reduced down to the picosecond range, so that particularly fast measuring electronics can be implemented with these new types of detectors.
- actuator materials eg lead zirconium titanate, PZT, polymer foams, elastomers and nematic gels.
- actuator materials eg lead zirconium titanate, PZT, polymer foams, elastomers and nematic gels.
- actuator layers make it possible also to convert pressures or sound signals into electronic signals.
- the advantage of the combination of actuators and TEMPOS structures lies in the ability of the TEMPOS structures, because of their complexity, to act as an intermediary between the different physical quantities, in order to directly convert, for example, sound to light, light to pressure, of temperature in motion, of moisture in deformation, of sound into modulated radio frequencies or the like and at the same time always process the signals electronically.
- the principle of operation of a possible biological sensor with the parameterized TEMPOS structure can be carried out, for example, as follows.
- Light from special fluorescent molecules eg from conjugated polymers, which are bound to the structure, is suppressed by certain integrated molecules ("quencher").
- quencher integrated molecules
- a suitable biological molecule eg an antibody
- a quencher it combines with that one and leaves with it the fluorescent molecule, which then begins to glow.
- SiON silicon oxynitride layers
- the overall efficiency of the photocell is increased accordingly. After detection, this type of sensor must be reactivated by binding to new quencher molecules.
- conically etched ion traces of larger outer diameter (»1 ⁇ m) are proposed in the SiON, on the inner walls of which the fluorescent molecules can be bound and to which the biological molecules can temporarily dock within their cell structure.
- the tapered structure of the tracks causes the generated fluorescent light to be concentrated at the interface with the substrate layer, for example silicon, so that high photo efficiency can be achieved.
- TEMPOS structures In order to be able to detect biological weapons, the same concept is used as for the formation of TEMPOS structures as biological sensors - with the difference that the corresponding quencher has to be tailored to the appropriate viruses, bacteria, fungi etc. With regard to explosive weapons, TEMPOS structures can be used as an "artificial nose".
- TEMPOS structure is provided with a corresponding receptor to which these exhaust gas products dock, and which in turn has sufficiently significant changes in its electrical properties (for example resistance, dielectric constant, polarization, state of charge), an explosive detector can accordingly
- the same principle applies to poisonous gases: in all cases, the TEMPOS structure, modified with receptors, can be adjusted to its optimal working point to increase the sensitivity usually at the border of the area where local negative differential resistances are used (see below). Then a very minor change in the work Tension due to the presence of a weapon material shift the characteristic into the local negative area, so that a very large signal is generated in the sequence.
- the meaning of the second large parameter group also becomes clear from what has been described above.
- the pore diameter, the depth of penetration of the pores into the layer (the pores can be continuous or designed as a “blind hole”) and the pore shape (the pores can be cylindrical or conical) can be varied.
- the TEMPOS structure is in the area of the electrically insulating layer and the semiconductor substrate.
- this is electrical insulating material is a silicon compound, in particular silicon oxynitride, or a carbon allotrope or a polymer, in particular photoresist or Kapton, SiON in particular showing the special photoluminescent properties already mentioned, which, when used, leads to a strong leads to light emission due to electroluminescence.
- the carbon allotropes also include those with fuerenes that can be doped in a special way, as well as diamond and diamond-like layers. Photoresist or Kapton are more conventional insulation layers, but they are easy to structure.
- the semiconductor substrate can be low-oxygen silicon or Czochralski silicon.
- the substrate can be doped accordingly according to the functional specifications.
- Many of the materials used in the TEMPOS structure as an electrically conductive, but highly resistive coating and / or pore filling have sensor properties not only for one physico-chemical variable, but for several of them. Therefore, in cases of doubt, it can be difficult to unambiguously assign an electrical signal emitted by a single TEMPOS structure in a component to a specific source.
- TEMPOS structures with different coatings can be used simultaneously as sensors and their signals compared. It is also important to pay attention to the sign of the corresponding sensor signal.
- the combined coverings can then be provided with appropriate evaluation electronics, so that multifunction sensors (“artificial sensory organs”) are created which are able to cover a whole spectrum of different physico-chemical variables simultaneously and with high reliability.
- a simple example is a TEMPOS structure with silver cluster layers, these are only light-sensitive.
- a TEMPOS structure with electrically conductive but high-resistance fullerite layers is sensitive to light, moisture, alcohol and acetone vapors, whereby moisture leads to positive signals, while light and organo vapors lead to negative signals.
- TEMPOS structure ie a MOSBIT structure
- a silver cluster TEMPOS structure does not provide a signal
- the source can be clearly identified with organo vapors, incidence of light as the cause is ruled out.
- both sensors respond at the same time, light can be assumed with certainty; the additional presence of organic vapors is still possible, but not certain.
- a third sensor, used here for comparison purposes, eg TEMPOS structure with SnO coating, can then be consulted for a decision. If this responds, then is out Incident light also contains alcohol vapor.
- Another parameter is the constructive design of the conductive covering on the surface of the layer made of an electrically insulating material.
- One embodiment is particularly mentioned in which the coating between the two surface contacts is completely interrupted, so that a continuous conductive connection between the two surface contacts is only provided by the buried conductive channel in the semiconductor substrate near the interface to the layer made of an electrically insulating material. This channel is driven through the remaining surface covering and the conductive ion traces.
- This version is also a functional structure, the characteristics of which are very similar to normal diode characteristics and can be shifted by applying a gate voltage. Components constructed in this way based on the TEMPOS structure are characterized by a strong sensitivity to light.
- Another parameter relates to the material of the dielectric layer on the semiconductor substrate.
- silicon dioxide, silicon oxynitride, diamond, polymers, etc. can be used as the insulator material on the semiconductor substrate (generally silicon).
- AI2O3 porous aluminum oxide
- aluminum can be applied to a silicon wafer, for example by sputter deposition, and this layer can then be anodically oxidized.
- oxidation of the Aluminum grows up a material with a regular arrangement of extremely parallel pores, which have typical diameters from 20 nm to 200 nm.
- the AI 2 ⁇ 3 growth comes to a standstill when the aluminum on the silicon has been consumed. In this case, subsequent ion implantation and etching processes are no longer required.
- the pores of the AI2O3 are not continuous through to the semiconductor substrate; there are still remnants of the aluminum coating and a thin aluminum oxide layer. Because the latter can act as a tunnel barrier, it is not necessarily harmful, on the contrary, it is likely to be useful for the generation of quantum electronic components based on the TEMPOS structure (see below).
- Different materials can then be introduced into the pores of the aluminum oxide as usual. Very high process temperatures can be tolerated for this, but not acidic or alkaline media because they would dissolve the aluminum oxide.
- Buckytubes can also be grown into the A ⁇ Os pores, which can be used as sensors (see above).
- nanopore silicon dioxide which contains a regular pattern of 2.7 nm wide pores.
- conductive material can be introduced into these nanochannels, for example by galvanic techniques.
- nanowires or nano-pearl chains (“nanonecklaces") are formed, which have different parameter dependencies of their conductivity.
- porphyrenes can also be used for this.
- the TEMPOS structure has metal or metal in certain structural arrangements, in particular in the case of relatively narrow pore diameters
- Chalcopyrite clusters eg Ag or CdS nanoparticles
- This effect may be the consequence of the quantum electrical effect and is often coupled with light emission.
- These instabilities can become noticeable as a slight noise that sets in above a certain current.
- the noise consists of small peaks in the characteristic, which tend to lower voltages at higher currents. Occasionally, these peaks in the current-voltage characteristic are extremely pronounced at a certain point. This is a behavior that comes very close to that of Esaki or tunnel diodes. Finally, the current can rise dramatically above a certain threshold voltage without stabilizing again at a higher value.
- Another parameter of the TEMPOS structure is the shape of the electrodes.
- the electrodes In the basic arrangement there are electrodes for contacting at two points on the top and one point on the bottom of the TEMPOS structure. tion provided.
- the semiconductor composite structure constructed in this way can then be used as a component based on the TEMPOS structure with the function set depending on the parameterization.
- the electrode arrangement it is possible to combine the classic field effect transistor concept with the concept of the TEMPOS structure. All that is required is to provide a source electrode (source electrode) and a sink electrode (drain electrode) on the top of the TEMPOS structure.
- these electrodes can be arranged directly on the doped semiconductor substrate by previously removing the adjacent layer of electrically insulating material with the high-resistance coating (for example fullerite or disperse nanocrystals) there.
- the high-resistance coating for example fullerite or disperse nanocrystals
- this requires additional doping in the source and drain contact regions in order to form a conductive zone there in the semiconductor.
- This effort can be avoided if the source and drain electrodes are integrated directly into the component based on the TEMPOS structure by means of thin, highly conductive ion traces in the layer made of an electrically insulating material, since then already by induction of the intrinsic charge carriers in the oxide layer the silicon interface becomes conductive.
- the current from the source electrode to the drain electrode can be controlled by each of the three base electrodes v, w, and / or o as a control electrode (gate).
- Capacitive or resistive changes in the high-resistance conductive layer on the top of the component based on the TEMPOS structure also influence the source-drain current.
- the TEMPOS characteristic can be influenced by a charge carrier injection of source or drain. This enables the construction of very complex logic circuits within a single component.
- the pores filled with a semiconducting or conductive material in the layer made of an electrically insulating material can also be delimited with a thin, electrically insulating layer, so that Tunnel barriers arise and quantum electronic nanodevices can be obtained based on tunnel effects.
- the thin insulator layer can be produced in different ways.
- the semiconductor substrate e.g. silicon
- the semiconductor substrate e.g. silicon
- the exposed semiconductor substrate at the bottom of the etched ion traces can be converted into a sufficiently thick oxide layer by natural corrosion processes.
- the entire etched ion track can alternatively be lined with a 1 to 5 nm thin insulator film, which can be achieved, for example, by depositing a varnish made of polyacrylonitrile (PAN), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polystyrene (PS) oa can be done.
- PAN polyacrylonitrile
- PMMA polymethyl methacrylate
- PS polystyrene
- the ion trace in the layer made of an electrically insulating material (dielectric) cannot be etched through to the semiconductor substrate, but the etching process can be interrupted shortly before the breakthrough, so that a distance of approximately 1 nm to 5 nm remains between the trace tip and the semiconductor substrate (" This state can be checked during the etching process by measuring the capacitance between the semiconductor substrate and the etching agent-filled ion trace.
- the dielectric can also be constructed in two layers, the 1 nm to 5 nm thin layer on the semiconductor substrate being heavy is etchable (eg made of silicon oxynitride SiON) and an overlying, much thicker layer (eg made of SiO 2 ) is more easily etchable layer in front of the semiconductor substrate.
- the pores of the structures produced in this way are then filled with conductive materials.
- the material can be high-resistance or low-resistance.
- the surface of the structure is covered with a high-resistance conductive material - preferably with the same material as in the etched traces if these are high-resistance.
- the use of highly conductive materials leads to different current / voltage characteristics.
- the structures can thus have different electronic properties.
- the contact can be made by two contacts on the surface of the structure and a back contact on the silicon in the same way as has already been described for various components based on the TEMPOS structure.
- the conductors embedded in the etched ion traces consist of disperse, (semi-) conductive nanocrystals
- the nanocrystals can be surrounded with an insulation layer (core-shell structures) before they are filled into the ion track, so that they never have direct contact to the semiconductor substrate afterwards. In this case, the formation of a tunnel layer in the tracks can be omitted.
- the layer consists of an electrically insulating material made of diamond or polysilanes (so that the ion traces have an intrinsic conductivity, i.e. no longer need to be filled with conductive material)
- only a two-layer dielectric can be used for the production (1 nm up to 5 nm SiO 2 , SiON, lacquer oa) and thicker layer of diamond, polysilane oa).
- the ion traces of the double layer then have the structure: (SiO 2l SiON oa) / (sp 2 -containing carbon, SiC oa), i.e. consist of a thin insulator film between the semiconductor substrate and the poorly conductive ion trace.
- the 1 nm to 5 nm thin insulator layers introduced in different ways between the semiconductor substrate and the conductive channel built up on the semiconductor substrate serve as tunnel barriers. Their theory has been known for decades; they have been the focus of electronic research for about a decade. The proposals above are strategies for inserting tunnel barriers into (semi) conductive zero or one-dimensional structures in order to obtain the effects of tunneling or even coulomb blocking.
- these structures can be implemented on their own in individual ion traces (which is advantageous for nanoelectronics in order to achieve high component densities), several can be addressed in one pixel with the aid of a checkerboard-like contact, or a very large number (typically some 10 6 up to 10 8 / cm 2 ) similar components can be combined in parallel and contacted at the same time.
- buckytubes can be bent and surface-contacted after they have grown out of etched ion traces (or other pores) to produce tunnel barriers.
- the Buckytubes can grow out of the ion traces up to lengths of ⁇ m or mm. Then they can be used on the one hand as antennas for very short microwaves or very long-wave infrared, and on the other hand as fine resonators for ultrasound of very high frequency. In the latter case, the mechanical vibrations are converted into electrical signals by changing the capacity of the system (Buckytube - contacts in the ion track).
- the Buckytubes can also be covered with nano- or microscopic objects (such as cells or enzymes), which leads to a change in the natural vibration frequency of the nanotubes. In principle, these frequency changes can be measured electronically.
- the Buckytube ion trace components can thus be used as biological sensors (see also above).
- the process for producing a parameterized TEMPOS structure basically comprises the following process steps:
- process step I in which an electrically insulating oxide layer can be produced by conventional thermal oxidation, can, however, also preferably be carried out by means of a plasma chemical vapor deposition at a process temperature in a temperature range from 200 ° C. to 300 ° C.
- the moderate temperature range in this deposition technique in which the material is separated from the plasma state, leads to considerable energy savings.
- the exact stoichiometric composition of the preferred light-emitting SiON layer to be produced can be determined by precise setting of the plasma parameters, which determines both the etchability required and the luminescence yield.
- no vacuum and clean room technology is required to manufacture the TEMPOS structure, which also has a cost-reducing effect.
- the doping channels in process step II can be produced conventionally, for example, by masked or mask-free lithography processes, for example using an electron beam, lower structural limits in the range of 100 nm being achieved here. Therefore, method step II for forming doping channels as nanoscale pores with a selectable statistical distribution in the layer made of an electrically insulating material and a selectable pore diameter, pore depth and pore shape can preferably be carried out by irradiating the layer made of the electrically insulating material with high-energy heavy ions, the pore parameters can be adjusted by the selection of the radiation parameters. By using ion radiation, nanoscale pores in particular can be manufactured relatively easily with high precision and pre-assembled on an industrial scale.
- the non-conductive material can be converted directly into conductive material in the region of the pores by ion radiation, for example when converting electrically non-conductive carbon with an sp 3 structure (diamond structure) into electrically conductive carbon with sp 2 - Structure (graphite-like structure).
- ion radiation for example when converting electrically non-conductive carbon with an sp 3 structure (diamond structure) into electrically conductive carbon with sp 2 - Structure (graphite-like structure).
- step II to form doping channels an etching of the ion traces following the irradiation is carried out, the pore parameters being adjustable by the choice of the etching parameters, in particular the etching duration. The pore parameters can thus be set both by the radiation and by the etching.
- the choice of the ion type and the ion energy depends on the trace geometry to be achieved by the subsequent etching for the pores to be produced. It should be noted at this point that the pore production by ion irradiation, for which a particle accelerator is required, can be carried out surprisingly inexpensively by a stock production of semifinished products - in particular also compared to conventional production processes.
- the ion radiation can either cover the entire surface or be structured two-dimensionally with the help of lithography.
- the structuring can, for example, assign the pores to the electrodes to be attached on the Provide a layer of an electrically insulating material.
- the etchant during the subsequent etching of the ion traces is usually hydrofluoric acid, the choice of the etchant concentration and etching duration depends on the material to be etched (for example SiO 2 , SION) and its precise chemical composition.
- the ion track can be etched along the entire length, ie down to the substrate boundary layer, or only partially as a needle-shaped cavity by varying the etching time, or the ion track can be opened to different diameters. If the pores do not penetrate completely through the electrically insulating layer, a charge carrier injection takes place primarily into the electrically insulating layer, which leads to an increased light yield, particularly in the case of SiON. This concept is therefore particularly suitable for optoelectronic components.
- the etching time thus determines the functioning of the structures developed therefrom via pore length and diameter, for example as npn or pnp transistors. Therefore, for the first time, typical structures can be produced in the TEMPOS structure differently than by doping with foreign atoms.
- each ion can be individually written onto the component based on the TEMPOS structure using a suitable deflection system, or porous aluminum oxide can be used directly or as a mask for ion irradiation onto the dielectric layer on the semiconductor substrate.
- the application of the electrically conductive but high-resistance layer in accordance with method step III, in particular onto the SiO 2 or SiON layer and into the etched ion traces, can be done, for example, by silver vapor deposition or chemical deposition of silver or another conductive material respectively. It is also possible to separate it from the liquid phase using an appropriately adjusted colloid.
- the surface of the coating should be adjusted so that it allows good charge injection through the ion traces into the underlying Si, but also has a non-negligible resistance on the surface, so that multiple contacts on the surface are possible without a short circuit between these contacts ( "Partially conductive").
- a suitable conductive layer is, for example, disperse-distributed nanoclusters made of metal or conductive oxides, such as indium tin oxide (ITO) - the latter because of the transparency of ITO especially for optical applications.
- ITO indium tin oxide
- the partially conductive layer can, depending on the application, either cover the entire sample or be structured two-dimensionally with the aid of lithography.
- the TEMPOS structure produced is contacted in a known manner at the locations strategically suitable for the desired mode of operation and electrically connected The geometrical arrangement of the pores, the conductive layers and the electrical contacts can thus result in a transition from simple analog or digital circuit technology to multi-stage logic components.
- the new TEMPOS structure is a uniform starting material for the practical Nanometric realization of electronic and optoelectronic basic components in active and passive as well as in analog as well as digital form suitable as for example transistor, SET (single electron transistor), FET (field effect transistor, also connected JFET), amplifier, generator, oscillator, flip-flop - Memory, resistor, current control resistor, capacitance, diode, S-tunnel diode, thermoresistor, thermocapacity, optoresistor, optocapacity, photodiode, bipolar (photo) transistor, photocell, light-emitting diode, hygrowistor, hygrocapacitor, hygrodiode, hygro cell, organogas resistor, organogas -Capacity,
- An advantageous application of the parameterized TEMPOS structure is therefore characterized by a function as an electronic, active or passive component in a simple circuit arrangement with the smallest possible number of additional switching elements, in particular in the form of a transistor, capacitor, resistor, amplifier or resonant circuit (high-frequency component ), as an optoelectronic component, in particular in a training as a light emitter or light detector, as a hygroelectronic component, in particular in a training as a hygro cell, or as a sensor component, in particular in a training as a sensor cell, as a digital component, in particular as a flip-flop, or as Combination of these components, the respective functional characteristics being determined by the parameterization of the TEMPOS structure, in particular by the characteristics of the doping channels in the form of pores and the coating of the electrically conductive material in the form of Na noclustem, as well as by partially adjusting the working point by varying the application sizes and by arranging the electrodes.

- TEMPOS structure with moisture-sensitive fullerene can be called an electrically conductive, but high-resistance coating on the electrically insulating layer with the acronym “MOSBIT”, which is the abbreviation of the name: "MOisture Sensoring with Buckminster-fullerene in ion tracks "acts.
- MOSBIT electrically conductive, but high-resistance coating on the electrically insulating layer with the acronym "MOSBIT”
- MOSBIT MOSBIT
- TEMPOS structures with local negative differential resistance can be called "NERPOS” as an acronym from “Negative Resistance of Pores in Oxide on Semiconductors”.
- FIG. 1 shows schematically in cross section a parameterized TEMPOS structure with a semiconductor substrate SCS and an adjacent layer EIL made of an electrically insulating material.
- the TEMPOS structure is electrically contacted via three electrodes o, v, w (electrically equivalent to “connections” or “taps”).
- Vertically oriented doping channels in the form of nanoscale pores VP are integrated in the layer EIL made of an electrically insulating material. The distribution of the pores VP, the pore diameter, the pore depth and the pore shape can be freely selected.
- cylindrical pores VP are shown in groups of different sizes, which are assigned to the upper electrodes o, w, which completely penetrate the layer EIL made of an electrically insulating material and thus enable simple charge migration, in particular into the semiconductor substrate SCS.
- the additional charge carriers are made available by an electrically conductive material ECM, which in the exemplary embodiment shown is applied in the form of disperse nanoparticles DNP into the pores VP and also onto the surface of the layer EIL made of electrically insulating material.
- the disperse nanoparticles DNP generate a high-resistance gradient between the electrodes o, w, so that a short circuit is prevented here.
- the pores VP with the disperse nanoparticles NP in the TEMPOS structure represent a particularly large number of needle-shaped semiconductor junctions, so that the TEMPOS structure can be referred to as a “multi-tip diode arrangement”. This can be represented electrically by equivalent circuit diagrams with corresponding diode arrangements.
- FIG. 2 shows a picture with a scanning electron microscope SEM.
- the layer made of an electrically insulating material, here SiO 2 can be seen from above, into which a multiplicity of pores of different diameters are integrated in a disperse distribution.
- the dark central area in the pores shows the semiconductor substrate underneath, here Si. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the pores are thus etched through.
- the bright border around the pores shows their conical shape.
- the white dots seen in the SEM image are clusters made of an electrically conductive material, here silver, which are applied in the pores and also on the surface of the layer made of an electrically insulating material.
- FIG. 3 schematically shows a cross section of a parameterized TEMPOS structure, but here with conical pores VP that do not completely penetrate the layer EIL made of an electrically insulating material.
- the additional charge carriers migrate increasingly into the layer made of an electrically insulating material.
- the TEMPOS structure is irradiated with light, which leads to increased photoemission, which can be used accordingly in measurements.
- FIG. 4 shows a schematic diagram of the electronic functioning of the TEMPOS structure. At least two horizontal and a variety of vertical Current paths (see inset) compete with one another, with diodes forming at the transitions. Each current path differs from the other by different potential relationships. It is shown: the high-resistance cover layer T, the anisotropically conductive layer A, the semiconductor substrate S, a conductive channel C in the semiconductor S near the AS boundary layer, two upper contacts K 0 , K, a lower contact Kv.
- the source contact Ks and the sink contact Kp are optionally shown for the structural design of an additionally integrated controllable transistor using the horizontal channel C.
- the anisotropy of layer A is usually generated by parallel, predominantly vertical conduction paths in an insulator layer. Those can be generated: a) by filling the etched ion traces contained in the insulator with (semi) conductive materials, b) by latent ion traces, if these are conductive, and c) by self-organizing structures with an analog structure.
- heterogeneous and homogeneous monostructures can also be used which show a strong anisotropy of their electrical conductivity (parallel to their surface at most a very low electrical conductivity close to the electrical insulation and perpendicular or at an angle to it) Surface has a higher electrical conductivity by a factor of at least 10 6 ).
- the current can then either flow directly to w through the surface coverage or it can go through the tracks below into the silicon below.
- the traces can be described by a resistor R 0 and a diode D ox with a leakage current resistor R ox .
- An enrichment zone, depletion zone or inversion zone can build up below the oxide layer.
- the existence of such a layer (referred to as a "channel") depends on the leak properties of the oxide, which can be described by the track resistance Rt and the diode parameters D ox and R ox .
- the diox and R ox For low-resistance Rt, D ox and R ox little or no charge control is possible due to the field effect via C ox .
- the channel resistance is described by R c .
- the current towards connection v will have to overcome a potential barrier from the channel to the base silicon, which is described by an additional diode DL with a leakage resistance RL.
- conventional, known MOS capacitances without traces are represented in place of the diode DL by a voltage-dependent capacitance, which is given, for example, by the transition from an inversion layer to the base silicon, because no direct current flows here.
- a voltage-dependent capacitance which is given, for example, by the transition from an inversion layer to the base silicon, because no direct current flows here.
- the track resistance Rt is of particular interest here because its size controls the presence or absence of layers with free charge carriers, that is to say the inversion or enrichment layers and consequently also the values R c , D L and RL.
- the detailed description of the Iv-Vvw characteristic according to this model provides results that at least match qualitatively with the observations. A distinction must be made between two cases, which have been marked with type 1 or type 2. The traces of type 1 are only slightly etched, so that R t is very large. Type 2 corresponds to the case of smaller R t , which can be realized experimentally by longer trace etching times. In types 1 and 2, the roles of electrons and holes are reversed, so that complementary characteristics occur.
- the component can either be viewed as a weakly non-linear resistor or as a pn junction induced by a lateral field.
- the semiconductor connection structure according to the invention has negative differential resistances, so that it receives the properties of a pnp (for type 1) or npn (for type 2) transistors. Up to a factor of 24 power amplifications have been observed up to now. The transistor effect is reproducible and often accompanied by point light emission.
- FIG. 5A shows a second equivalence network, with the help of which the explanation for the electronic behavior of the TEMPOS structure in the special form with a negative differential resistance (NERPOS) according to the invention is to be further deepened.
- NERPOS negative differential resistance
- the discussion is explicitly limited to the simplest case, namely the use of a p-type substrate. This has the advantage that the substrate is kept in accumulation in the applied voltage ranges and that no additional complications due to the occurrence of inversion layers have to be taken into account.
- the simplified equivalent circuit consists of the sheet resistance R of p-Si, connected to the contact v, the sheet resistances R w and R 0 , which essentially describe the current propagation along the oxide interface, the Schottky diodes D w and D 0 and the sheet resistances in the metallized nuclear traces, R ⁇ 0 and R « v (the latter not shown).
- the detection of Schottky behavior from silver to p-type silicon is generally known and is documented, for example, by Smith and Rhoderick.
- the diode D 0 is open, a current path vo is formed, which has an ohmic character due to the path resistances.
- the rail resistances are flooded by the injection to such an extent that they disappear and the current is only limited by the diode. There is therefore a switching effect from a high-resistance to a low-resistance state, which manifests itself as a declining characteristic or differential negative resistance.
- the switching voltage v decreases with a more negative voltage o.
- the same positive voltage in the silicon under w is always used for the diode D w in order to open it.
- a reduction in the switching voltage v can therefore only mean that the path resistances in the silicon become smaller and “supply” the potential v better.
- This reduction is achieved in that a higher forward voltage is set across the diode D 0 when the voltage o is reduced This means that the diode injects more strongly.
- the rail resistances, RK, in the ion traces are greater than that of the silicon.Note that the injection of D w does not only affect the resistors R w and R v , but also to R 0.
- the diode D w is opened, the voltage drop across the diode D 0 also changes ; it is opened further and thus falls back on D w via an increased injection.
- FIG. 6 shows a characteristic curve of the TEMPOS structure measured at room temperature RT with an etching duration of 3 min in the form of a controllable semiconductor resistor.
- a typical 1, U characteristic curve of a junction semiconductor component is shown in the measurement of the current-voltage characteristic. Its temperature dependency could be demonstrated in accordance with FIG. 7, which shows the characteristic of the TEMPOS structure with an etching time of 3 min at an ambient temperature of 60 ° C.
- FIG. 8 shows a characteristic field of an npn transistor produced from a TEMPOS structure with an etching time of 7 min (etching in hydrogen fluoride solution HF 7 min), in which the two electrodes o, w and.
- the electrode v is contacted with silver conductive adhesive.
- the control circuit is implemented between the electrodes v, w and the load circuit of the npn transistor between the electrodes o, w.
- the load current l 0 With increasing voltage U o in the load circuit, the load current l 0 also increases and is also controllable by means of control voltage - Uvw.
- This npn transistor function is provided by the simple diode equivalent circuit diagram of the structure, which is likewise shown in FIG. 8 and which in principle consists of three multi-tip diode complexes.
- FIG. 9 comparable laboratory tests were carried out on a TEMPOS structure with a 10 min etching time in an extended load current range, with the result that only with unchanged contacting of the TEMPOS structure a pnp transistor was produced and produced by the extended etching duration.
- the semiconductor composite structure bipolar transistors are also made up of three multi-tip diode complexes, taking the polarity into account as a first approximation.
- FIG. 10 shows a characteristic field of a TEMPOS structure in the form of an npn phototransistor with a light-active, electrically insulating layer, for example SiON.
- the etching time HF was only 5 min, so that conical, non-continuous pores were created.
- the flow of light is denoted by ⁇ .
- FIG. 11 shows the capacitive change in a TEMPOS structure with an etching time HF of 10 min in the form of a photodiode as a function of the incident light power. This can therefore be determined in a photo sensor by measuring the variable voltage.
- FIG. 12 shows a characteristic field (current-voltage characteristic) of a light-sensitive TEMPOS structure (p-doped silicon, only the dark currents are shown) according to the invention, as is the case for an interrupted coating between the two surface contacts the structure surface (see inset).
- a continuous conductive connection between the two surface contacts is therefore only provided by the buried conductive channel in the semiconductor substrate near the interface to the layer made of an electrically insulating material. This channel is driven through the remaining surface covering and the conductive ion traces.
- the characteristics are very similar to normal diode characteristics and can be pulled apart by applying a gate voltage.
- FIG. 13 shows the characteristic field of a p-doped, light-sensitive TEMPOS structure according to FIG.
- the first curve shows the voltage-dependent dark current.
- a gate voltage is applied.
- the The component formed behaves like a photodiode or photocell. Without applying a gate voltage, the component formed shows the behavior of a photo resistor.
- FIG. 13 shows the influence of light on the characteristics of a TEMPOS structure with an interrupted surface coverage. It can be seen that light lowers the characteristic curves in a different way than in FIG. 12, so that the influences of moisture and light can be clearly distinguished from one another.
- a characteristic field similar to light results for the TEMPOS structure as an organogas sensor. Gases such as alcohol or acetone lower the characteristics in a similar way to light.
- the two gases cannot be distinguished from one another with a TEMPOS structure with fullerite alone.
- a coincidence measurement must take place with a further, for example alcohol-specific detector (for example semiconductor composite structure with high-resistance SnO coating and pore filling).
- FIG. 14 shows a characteristic field of a TEMPOS structure in the form of a moisture sensor with a high-resistance, electrically conductive material as a coating on the layer of electrically insulating material and pore filling made of fullerite (MOSBIT).
- MOSBIT fullerite
- the components based on the TEMPOS structure have certain structural arrangements, in particular using metal clusters and higher, applied electrical field strengths
- FIG. 15 shows a Characteristic field for a characteristic of the TEMPOS structure with a slight noise that sets in above a certain current. The noise here consists of small peaks in the characteristic, which tend to lower voltages at higher currents.
- FIG. 17 shows a current-voltage characteristic in which the current increases dramatically above a certain threshold voltage without stabilizing again at a higher value.
- NERPOS Negative Resistance of Pores in Oxide on Semiconductors
- FIG. 18 shows the representation of an attempt to represent the genealogical relation of the different possible TEMPOS structures that can be generated by different parameterization to one another in a family tree, insofar as they are already known or are under development.
- the various open arrows show the main area in which future extensions are still to be expected.
- the freely selectable parameters of the TEMPOS structure are summarized in a table in FIG. The appropriate materials and their areas of application are also entered. The table corresponds to the current state of knowledge and shows room for future expansion.
- the temperature dependency of the TEMPOS structure 3min HF shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 can also be used very simply as a frequency-determining element in the case of a TEMPOS structure 10min HF with regard to its internal capacitance (thermal capacity) and internal parallel resistance (thermal resistance) (Thermal capacitance) in the functional and application circuit according to FIG. 20, which shows the electrical circuit diagram of a thermocapacitive sensor oscillator with a TEMPOS structure 10min HF, installed and used practically.
- the frequency of this sensor oscillator is a direct, digital measure of the temperature to be measured. In terms of measurement technology, an oscillator frequency difference of 190 kHz can be determined between room temperature and 80 ° C ambient temperature in the corresponding analyzer spectrum.
- FIG. 21 shows the circuit diagram of an optocapacitive remote control of a local oscillator.
- the photo effect of a TEMPOS structure with an etching time HF of 10min is used to build a photo-npn transistor stage. If the direct current flow is prevented in this structure (idling), the measurement results with respect to the capacitive change when optical radiation is coupled in according to FIG.
- FIG. 22 shows the application of the TEMPOS structure with a predetermined etching duration (here and in the circuit arrangements according to the following figures can be selected accordingly) to a low-frequency noise source, with high local electrical field strengths in the TEMPOS Structure cause random, frequent electrical discharges and recombinations and consequently generate a measurable noise voltage at the taps.
- ⁇ , ⁇ the slope in the l, U characteristic field changes, that is to say the differential electrical resistance of the semiconductor composite structure (optoresistor) and enables use as an optoresistive sensor according to FIG. 23.
- the change in the injected optical radiation causes a current change in the circuit and thus a corresponding voltage change available at the electrodes.
- the semiconductor composite structure as a photodiode is idle operated without DC current by means of the series capacitance Ci in an optocapacitive change and the coupled optical radiation to be measured is converted at the two taps into a countable digital frequency.
- communication technology applications of the semiconductor composite structure for optocapacitive remote control of a bandpass according to FIG. 25 a low pass according to FIG. 26 and a high pass according to FIG. 27 for the advantageous complete prevention of disturbing electromagnetic external influences can be practically realized by this type of opto-coupling.
- the IU operating point When the IU operating point is set according to an application as a signal frequency multiplier according to FIG. 28 by means of direct voltages applied to the TEMPOS structure as a bipolar transistor in the area of large characteristic curve curvature, the injected signal voltage is distorted and its frequency, the signal frequency, multiplied and available at the two electrodes posed.
- the application according to FIG. 29 uses the operating point setting according to FIG. 10 to multiply two signal voltages in an additive mixture, which corresponds to the practical, simple implementation of an amplitude modulator, the modulation voltage then being available at the two electrodes for further processing in communication technology. If you select the IU working point When used on a semiconductor composite structure as an npn tunnel transistor, the tunnel effect characterized by an arc characteristic occurs at approx.
- the further application according to FIG. 31 in temperature measurement technology shows a TEMPOS structure transistor set at the operating point as a thermal resistor, that is to say a thermoresistive sensor whose output voltage at the two electrodes is a direct measure of the coupled-in temperature.
- the application according to FIG. 32 represents a phototransistor stage whose output voltage at the two electrodes is a direct measure of the coupled radiation, as was typically measured according to FIG. 10 for the components from the TEMPOS structure.
- FIG. 34 shows an application of the TEMPOS structure as a frequency-variable resonant circuit.
- the applied voltage voltage-controlled nanocluster capacitance
- the TEMPOS structure is also radio frequency capable.
- Figure 35 shows a simple amplifier with a component based on the TEMPOS structure with a differential negative resistance (NERPOS structure).
- the result of the voltage amplification is shown in the lower part of the figure.
- Only two contacts of the component based on the NERPOS structure are required for an amplifier (e.g. v and o);
- the third contact e.g. w
- the fact that only two contacts of the new component based on the NERPOS structure are sufficient to implement an amplification circuit greatly simplifies the wiring of the circuit compared to transistor circuits (see below). From the third contact that is not required in the amplifier circuit according to FIG.
- the third contact (eg w) of the component which is not required in the amplifier circuit can be used on the basis of the NERPOS structure in order to use the contacts v and w parallel to the amplifier according to FIG. 35 realized by the contacts v and o to operate similar amplifiers.
- a component based on the NERPOS structure can therefore perform two different tasks in parallel. In this case, the capacitive couplings within the component may cause beats, but these can be minimized by appropriate design of the NERPOS structure.
- oscillators can also be built. In this case too, only two of the three contacts of the standard version are required, so that it is also possible to build tandem oscillators (see Figure 37). In this case too, care must be taken to ensure that the formation of beats is prevented by suitable capacitive decoupling when the component is designed on the basis of the NERPOS structure.
- FIG. 39 indicates that not only sinusoidal vibrations, but also other types of vibrations can be realized with NERPOS structures, e.g. Sawtooth vibrations (signal curve below).
- the negative differential resistance of NERPOS structures also makes it possible to operate digital electronics, as shown in FIG. 40 using an optoelectronic flip-flop (a normal electronic flip-flop can also be operated without incidence of light) (S / R set / reset - put).
- the current-voltage characteristic is shown in the lower part of FIG.
- An operating point on Ai (FF open flip-flop) is assumed. Then the working point is shifted to the left by a short (here: negative) pulse, so that it moves into the zone of instability and only stabilizes again at A 2 (SF closing flip-flop), whereby the position of A 2 by the external Resistance can be adjusted. Similarly, a short positive pulse can shift the operating point back to Ai.
- bistable circuits can also be implemented with NERPOS structures, as has long been known from digital electronics with transistors. This results in the basic possibility of building active components for transistor-free computers on the basis of TEMPOS structures with negative differential resistance, the so-called NERPOS structures.
- NERPOS structures The extremely fast switching times as well as the significantly lower expenditure on components and wiring than with corresponding transistor circuits could make computers constructed in this way competitive.
- FIGS. 41 to 47 relate to MOSBIT structures, ie to TEMPOS structures designed with fullerite as the electrically conductive material on the surface of the layer of electrically insulating material and in the pores.
- MOSBIT structures ie to TEMPOS structures designed with fullerite as the electrically conductive material on the surface of the layer of electrically insulating material and in the pores.
- a MOSBIT structure generates a voltage even in the presence of moisture, which disappears when the humidity drops. Because the moisture-sensitive sensor material C ⁇ o (fullerite) was applied thinly on the surface and not as a thick layer, the diffusion processes of water vapor in the fullerene are reduced to a minimum, so that this sensor has a very short response time of less than one second.
- the cause of the voltage of such a hygro cell based on the MOSBIT structure can be attributed to an environmentally dependent C ⁇ o / Si contact voltage. This property can be used to build moisture voltage drivers. If the hygro- If the cell is exposed to damp vapors of alcohol or acetone, this also creates a voltage, but the opposite sign is then used. This allows moisture to be distinguished from organogas vapors. Like the TEMPOS structures with nanoclustes, the MOSBIT structures also show resistive, conductive and capacitive sensor behavior. Accordingly, both moisture-resistive sensors, moisture-conductive sensors and moisture-capacitive sensors can be produced, for example. With the latter, it makes sense to convert the capacitive changes into frequency changes. Finally, the change in conductivity of a MOSBIT element can also be used to generate moisture flow converters.
- FIG. 41 shows a frequency-digital gas sensor in which the MOSER IT structure with nanoclustes, coated with fullerite (C60) and coated with direct current, with its gas-dependent capacitance, controls the oscillator circuit in the MHz range.
- the oscillator frequency available at both taps is thus a direct digital measure of the gas concentration.
- FIG. 42 shows an analog-conductive gas sensor amplifier which converts the change in conductance of the MOSBIT structure coated with C60 with nanoclusters depending on the gas concentration directly into a measurable voltage and offers it at the two taps.
- FIG. 43 shows an analog gas-current conversion amplifier which converts the regenerative short-circuit current in the MOSBIT structure coated with C60 with nanoclusters directly into a measurable voltage as a function of the gas concentration and offers it at the two taps.
- FIG. 44 shows an analog-resistive gas sensor amplifier which converts the change in resistance of the MOSBIT structure coated with C60 with nanoclusters depending on the gas concentration directly into measurable voltage and offers it at the two taps
- FIG. 45 shows an analog gas-voltage conversion amplifier which offers the open-circuit voltage, which is dependent on the gas concentration and which is regenerative, of the MOSBIT structure coated with C ⁇ o with nanoclust at the two taps with a low resistance.
- FIG. 46 shows a gas voltage cell with the C ⁇ o surface-coated MOSBIT structure with nanoclusters, which can be used with a larger gas concentration for power supply using the voltage taps.
- FIG. 47 shows a solar cell with the C60 surface-coated MOSBIT structure with nano-clusters, which can be used both as a radiation receiver and as a power supply when using optical radiation, using the voltage taps.
- the large range of semiconductor components described above can be used to recognize the great flexibility of the semiconductor composite structure according to the invention and its uniform application form. Together with the new semiconductor structure according to the invention, a new, inexpensive class of easily manufactured and controllable semiconductor components can thus be made available. The production of this Apart from a large accelerator for ion trace production, structures only require wet chemistry without clean room and vacuum conditions.
