Abstract
提供一种碳纳米管半导体器件及其制备方法,属于碳纳米管技术领域,提供的碳纳米管半导体器件的制备方法包括:通过碳纳米管溶液形成碳纳米管层;以及采用酸性溶液对碳纳米管层进行处理,由此制备得到的碳纳米管半导体器件的性能均匀性好。
Description
本公开属于碳纳米管(CNT)技术领域,涉及碳纳米管半导体器件的制备。具体地,本公开涉及其中采用酸性溶液对碳纳米管层进行处理的碳纳米管半导体器件的制备方法。
碳纳米管薄膜是近年来纳米科技领域中的热点,其中具有半导体属性的碳纳米管(CNT)可以应用在各种半导体器件中,例如,二极管、场效应晶体管(FET)等。以碳纳米管场效应晶体管(CNT-FET)为示例,碳纳米管在其中形成半导体属性的导电沟道。由此,可以利用碳纳米管层制备最简单也是最基础的电子器件,即MOSFET。而且,碳纳米管薄膜也可以进一步用来制备基于CNT而形成的薄膜晶体管(TFT)。CNT-TFT(即碳纳米管薄膜晶体管)的沟道层采用碳纳米管薄膜层,并且CNT-TFT有可能作为驱动晶体管而应用在显示器中。
尽管碳纳米管薄膜具有柔性、透明、高迁移率、低成本和大规模等优异特性,但是基于其形成的CNT-FET或CNT-TFT在性能均匀性方面存在较大的问题。例如,在同一工艺条件下制备形成的多个CNT-TFT之间很可能具有差异较大的转移特性。也就是说,现有方法批量制备的CNT-FET或者CNT-TFT之间的性能不均匀。这种不均匀性的问题也大大限制了CNT-FET或者CNT-TFT在工业领域的大规模应用。
在基于碳纳米管层形成的其他碳纳米管半导体器件中,也存在类似的问题。

下面介绍的是本公开的多个可能实施例中的一些,其目的是提供对本公开的基本了解,而不是确认本公开的关键或决定性的要素或限定所要保护的范围。容易理解,根据本公开的技术方案,在不变更本公开的实质精神下,本领域的一般技术人员可以提出可相互替换的其他实现方式。因此,以下具体实施方式以及附图仅是对本公开的技术方案的示例性说明,而不应当视为本公开的全部或者视为对本公开技术方案的限定或限制。
图3为按照本公开提供的制备CNT-TFT的方法所制备形成的CNT-TFT的基本结构示意图。在图3中,为了清楚起见,放大了层和区域的厚度。而且,在图3中各部件之间的尺寸比例关系仅是示意性的,其并不反映各部件之间的实际尺寸比例关系。在图3中示出的CNT-TFT可以通过以下揭示的制备方法实施例来制备形成。
需要说明的是,本公开实施例中的半导体器件为碳纳米管场效应晶体管(CNT-FET)或碳纳米管薄膜晶体管(CNT-TFT),并且所述碳纳米管层至少部分地用于形成所述CNT-FET或CNT-TFT的源电极和漏电极之间的半导体层。图3的实施例以半导体器件为CNT-TFT为例进行说明,但并不限于此。
图1为按照本公开的一实施例的制备CNT-TFT的方法流程示意图。以下结合图1和图3对本公开实施例的CNT-TFT制备方法进行详细说明。
首先,步骤S110,提供经过清洗处理的基片。
在该步骤中,提供的基片可以但不限于为硅片,其对应为如图3中所示的硅衬底310以及形成在其上的栅介质层320。栅介质层320具体可以为二氧化硅,其可以通过对硅衬底热氧化生成,或者通过其他的诸如薄膜沉积方法形成。
进一步,步骤S120,通过CNT溶液在基片上形成CNT薄膜层。
在该步骤中,基于CNT溶液,可以采用浸泡法得到CNT薄膜层。具体地,可以将基片浸泡到CNT溶液中,经过一段时间后取出基片,然后进行冲洗和烘干处理。当然,也可以基于CNT溶液而采用溶液喷涂法、化学组装法(例如LB薄膜法)等来形成CNT薄膜层。基于CNT溶液而形成CNT薄膜层的方法可以称为“溶液法”,其具体实现不限于本公开实施例。另外,形成的CNT薄膜层的厚度也可以根据需要形成的CNT-TFT的结构参数来确定。
具体地,在其他优选实例中,在形成CNT薄膜层之前,采用有机溶剂对CNT溶液进行分散处理,以得到相对均匀稳定的CNT溶液。具体使用的有机溶剂可以但不限于为甲苯、二甲苯、氯仿或邻二甲苯。需要理解的是,将碳纳米管分散形成溶液本身是个比较复杂的过程。通常需要使用表面活性剂以及其他化学物质,使得粉末状的碳纳米管相对容易溶解到溶剂中,从而形成稳定的CNT溶液。并且还需要理解
到,由于用于形成CNT溶液的CNT粉末可能既含有金属型CNT也含有半导体型CNT,因此,可能需要采用化学试剂(例如表面活性剂)去除金属型CNT,从而得到纯度相对较高的稳定的半导体型CNT溶液。作为示例,以上实施例所使用的CNT溶液为已经去除金属型CNT的半导体型CNT溶液。
以上步骤形成的CNT薄膜层包含有半导体型CNT,并且可以用来形成CNT-TFT的源电极和漏电极之间的半导体层,即源电极和漏电极之间的沟道层。CNT薄膜层中的CNT可以为单壁碳纳米管、双壁碳纳米管、多壁碳纳米管、或者为它们的组合。可替换地,CNT薄膜层中的CNT为碳纳米管管束。
需要说明的是,可选地,可以根据实际需要对以上步骤所形成的CNT薄膜层进行构图工艺。例如,对CNT薄膜层刻蚀构图以形成源电极和漏电极之间的半导体层,具体构图的图案不是限制性的。
进一步,步骤S130,提供构图工艺在基片上形成源电极和漏电极。
在该步骤中,可以采用光刻技术。通过光刻构图形成如图3中所示的源电极330和漏电极340。源电极330和漏电极340可以由金属薄膜层形成,并且它们之间通过CNT薄膜层连接。
需要说明的是,通过构图工艺形成所述源电极和漏电极的步骤可以发生在采用酸性溶液对所述碳纳米管层进行处理的步骤之前,也可以发生在采用酸性溶液对所述碳纳米管层进行处理的步骤之后。本申请主要以后一种情况为例进行说明。
进一步地,通过构图工艺形成源电极和漏电极的实现包括以下两种方案。
第一种方案:可以采用光刻胶层覆盖欲形成源电极和漏电极的区域之外的区域,其中欲形成源电极和漏电极的区域没有覆盖有光刻胶层(即露出源电极和漏电极之间的半导体层)。然后沉积金属薄膜层,并且进一步去除光刻胶层,此时光刻胶层上的金属薄膜层被同时去除。这样,欲形成源电极和漏电极的区域的金属薄膜层得以保留,从而形成了源电极和漏电极。
第二种方案:可以先沉积金属薄膜层,然后在金属薄膜层之上形成光刻胶层来覆盖欲形成源电极和漏电极的区域。进一步地,以该光刻胶层为掩膜进行刻蚀,直至暴露出CNT薄膜层。最后,再去除源电
极和漏电极之上的光刻胶层。
基于以上第一种方案,不需要刻蚀,并且源电极和漏电极的区域之外的CNT薄膜层,特别是用来形成沟道的区域,被光刻胶层所覆盖。因此,CNT薄膜层能够得到较好的保护。
进一步,步骤S140,通过光刻构图在源电极和漏电极上形成保护层。
在该步骤中,可以采用光刻胶覆盖沟道区域以外的区域,从而至少覆盖源电极和漏电极。该光刻胶掩膜用作源电极和漏电极的保护层。该保护层不覆盖用于形成沟道的CNT薄膜层,从而使CNT薄膜层外露,以准备进行以下步骤的酸性溶液处理。该保护层具体可以但不限于为光刻胶S1813或电子束胶PMMA等。保护层可以在以下步骤S150中使源电极和漏电极基本不受酸性溶液处理的影响。
在又一替换实施例中,如果采用以上步骤S130的第二种方案来形成源电极和漏电极时,则可以不去除源电极和漏电极之上的光刻胶层,将其保留。在该步骤中,光刻胶层用作保护层,从而可以省去步骤S140。
进一步,步骤S150,至少将用于形成沟道的CNT薄膜层浸于酸性溶液中,然后取出并且用水清洗。
本申请的公开人发现,当基于CNT溶液形成CNT薄膜层时,该溶液中或溶液中的CNT的表面上可能含有一些不需要的杂质,例如聚合物杂质。这些杂质在以上步骤S120中制备CNT薄膜层时将会沉积到基底上,甚至附着在部分碳纳米管的外壁表面上。在基于这种包含杂质的CNT薄膜层而构造半导体器件或CNT-TFT时,杂质的存在有助于在CNT薄膜层与其上表面和/或下表面所接触的介质层的界面处形成更多的电荷陷阱(Trap),从而影响制备形成的CNT-TFT的性能均匀性。
在该步骤中,将CNT薄膜层浸泡在酸性溶液中以进行处理。此时,以上所述杂质可以通过酸性溶液而去除,从而可以得到相对干净均匀的CNT薄膜层。即,如图3中所示的用于形成沟道的CNT薄膜层350。这样的CNT薄膜层350的对应电荷陷阱较少,因而性能更均匀。在该步骤中,源电极330和漏电极340被保护层所保护,不受酸性溶液影响。
具体地,酸性溶液可以选择为磷酸、硝酸和醋酸的混合溶液。在
溶液中,磷酸、硝酸和醋酸的质量百分比分别75%~85%、3%~7%、3%~7%,例如分别为80%、5%、5%,或者例如分别为79%、4%、4%。可以在常温下将CNT薄膜层浸于该酸性溶液中1分钟至2分钟,然后取出,并且用水清洗以去除酸性溶液残留。
进一步,步骤S160,去除源电极和漏电极上的保护层。具体地,可以将基片浸于PG去除溶液中以去除光刻胶材料的保护层,然后再用水清洗。
至此,如图3所示实施例的CNT-TFT制备方法完成。需要理解的是,通过以上制备方法过程,可以在同一基片上批量制备多个图3示例的CNT-TFT。
需要说明的是,在又一替代实施例中,如果源电极330和漏电极340采用某些金属材料(比如Pt,Au)来制作,而且这些金属材料不受后面步骤S150所使用的酸性溶液的腐蚀,那么,也可以不在这些电极上形成保护层而将其直接放到酸性溶液中进行处理。由此,省去步骤S140,当然也可以省去步骤S160。
图2为按照本公开的又一实施例的制备CNT-TFT的方法流程示意图。同样结合图2和图3对本公开实施例的CNT-TFT制备方法进行详细说明。
进一步,步骤S210,提供经过清洗处理的基片。该步骤的实施具体可以参照以上步骤S110中描述的过程。
进一步,步骤S220,通过CNT溶液在基片上形成CNT薄膜层。该步骤的实施具体可以参照以上步骤S120中描述的过程。
进一步,步骤S230,至少将用于形成沟道的CNT薄膜层浸于酸性溶液中,然后取出并用水清洗。该步骤的实施具体可以参照以上步骤S150中描述的过程。另外,在该实施例中,由于在酸性溶液处理时尚未形成源电极330和漏电极340,因此也不需要形成以上图1实施例的步骤S140中所述的保护层。基于此,工艺过程得到简化。
进一步,步骤S240,通过构图工艺在基片上形成源电极和漏电极。该步骤的实施可以参照以上步骤S130中类似的过程。
至此,同样可以制备得到如图3所示实施例的CNT-TFT。
需要说明的是,相比于传统CNT-TFT的CNT薄膜层,在本公开实施例的用于形成沟道的CNT薄膜层350中,化学物质杂质大大减少,
CNT-TFT器件性能的均匀性得到良好改善。这是由于影响CNT-TFT器件性能的均匀性的化学物质杂质通过酸性溶液而处理去除。
图4示出了在未经过酸性溶液处理和经过酸性溶液处理的情况下分别得到的CNT-TFT的转移特性的对比示意图,具体地,图4(a)为在CNT薄膜层未经过酸性溶液处理的情况下得到的28个CNT-TFT的转移特性曲线,并且图4(b)为在CNT薄膜层经过酸性溶液处理的情况下得到的28个CNT-TFT的转移特性曲线。从图4(a)可以看到,转移特性曲线比较分散,这表明各个CNT-TFT器件之间的转移特性并不均匀。相反地,从图4(b)可以看到,28个CNT-TFT的转移特性曲线更趋于相似,这表明各个CNT-TFT器件之间的转移特性的均匀性得到明显改善。
将理解到,在以上图1和图2所示实施例中对CNT-TFT的CNT薄膜层进行酸性溶液处理的方法可以类推地应用到其他类型的CNT半导体器件的制备中,特别地通过溶液法制备的器件中。经过酸性溶液处理过的用于形成沟道的CNT层中的化学物质杂质被去除,尤其是用来形成导电通道的一个或多个碳纳米管的外壁的化学物质被去除,从而可以有效地改善半导体器件的性能均匀性。
以上例子主要说明了本公开各种实施例的CNT半导体器件的制备方法以及制备形成的CNT半导体器件。所述CNT半导体器件具体可以是晶体管、集成电路、显示基板、显示面板等半导体器件。尽管只对其中一些本公开的实施方式进行了描述,但是本领域普通技术人员应当了解,本公开可以在不偏离其主旨与范围内以许多其他的形式实施。因此,所展示的例子与实施方式被视为示意性的而非限制性的,在不脱离如所附各权利要求所定义的本公开精神及范围的情况下,本公开可能涵盖各种的修改与替换。
