- FIG. 6 and 7 are band diagrams in the case where the material of the two-dimensional material layer 1 is graphene and the semiconductor layer 4 is indium antimonide (InSb).
- FIG. 6 is a band diagram in a state where the Schottky barrier is formed.
- FIG. 7 is a band diagram in a state where the Schottky barrier is not formed.

- E C is the conduction band of the semiconductor layer 4.
- E V is the valence band of the semiconductor layer 4.
- the fermi level of the two-dimensional material layer 1 is larger than the lower limit of the valence band of the semiconductor layer 4.
- a Schottky barrier is formed between the two-dimensional material layer 1 and the semiconductor layer 4. Therefore, a diode characteristic is generated between the two-dimensional material layer 1 and the semiconductor layer 4.
- the electromagnetic wave detector 100 is configured to change the voltage difference between the first electrode 2a and the third electrode, the two-dimensional material layer 1 and the semiconductor layer are configured so that the optical carrier has energy exceeding the Schottky barrier. A voltage is applied to 4. As a result, the optical carrier reaches the semiconductor layer 4 from the two-dimensional material layer 1 over the Schottky barrier.
- the Fermi level of the two-dimensional material layer 1 is smaller than the lower limit of the valence band of the semiconductor layer 4 as shown in FIG. 7, a Schottky barrier is formed between the two-dimensional material layer 1 and the semiconductor layer 4. Not done. Therefore, no diode characteristic is generated between the two-dimensional material layer 1 and the semiconductor layer 4. When no diode characteristic is generated between the two-dimensional material layer 1 and the semiconductor layer 4, the dark current flowing through the two-dimensional material layer 1 becomes large. Therefore, even if a large detection signal is obtained by the optical gate effect described later, the SN ratio deteriorates.
- the Schottky barrier is small, the ratio of the dark current to the change in the bias voltage V1 becomes large, so that the operation as the electromagnetic wave detector 100 becomes unstable. That is, even when the bias voltage V1 changes slightly, the dark current becomes large and the SN ratio deteriorates.
- FIGS. 6 and 7 show band diagrams in the case where the optical carrier is an electron and the conductive type of the semiconductor layer 4 is a p-type, but the optical carrier and the conductive type are not limited thereto. That is, the optical carrier may be either an electron or a hole as long as a Schottky barrier is formed between the two-dimensional material layer 1 and the semiconductor layer 4. Further, as long as a Schottky barrier is formed between the two-dimensional material layer 1 and the semiconductor layer 4, the conductive type of the semiconductor layer 4 may be either n-type or p-type.

- Each configuration will be described in detail.
- the two-dimensional material layer 1 is, for example, a single layer of graphene.
- Graphene in a single layer is a monatomic layer of two-dimensional carbon crystals.
- the thickness of graphene in a single layer is, for example, 0.34 nm, which corresponds to one carbon atom.
- graphene has a plurality of carbon atoms arranged in each of a plurality of chains arranged in a hexagonal shape.
- the absorption rate of graphene is as low as 2.3%. Specifically, the absorption rate of white light of graphene is 2.3%.
- the white light is light in which light having a wavelength of visible light is evenly mixed.
- the two-dimensional material layer 1 may be a multilayer graphene in which a plurality of graphene layers are laminated.
- the orientation of the lattice vectors of each hexagonal lattice of graphene in the multilayer graphene may be the same or different.
- the orientations of the lattice vectors of the respective hexagonal lattices of graphene in the multilayer graphene may be completely the same.
- a band gap is formed in the two-dimensional material layer 1 by laminating two or more graphene layers. That is, the size of the band gap can be adjusted by changing the number of laminated graphene layers.
- the two-dimensional material layer 1 can have a wavelength selection effect of selecting an electromagnetic wave (detection wavelength) to be photoelectric conversion.
- the mobility in the channel region decreases.
- the number of graphene layers of the multilayer graphene is increased, the influence of carrier scattering from the substrate is suppressed, so that the noise of the electromagnetic wave detector 100 is reduced. Therefore, in the electromagnetic wave detector 100 having the two-dimensional material layer 1 in which the multilayer graphene is used, the light absorption is increased, so that the detection sensitivity of the electromagnetic wave is improved.
- the two-dimensional material layer 1 includes a region that functions as a channel region and a region that functions as a source / drain layer.
- the first portion 1a and the third portion 1c are regions that function as source / drain regions.
- the second portion 1b is a region that functions as a channel region.
- the material of the two-dimensional material layer 1 may be uniform or different in the region functioning as the channel region and the region functioning as the source / drain layer.
- the optical carrier is doped from the first electrode 2a to the two-dimensional material layer 1.
- the two-dimensional material layer 1 is graphene and the first electrode 2a is gold (Au)
- the optical carrier is a hole. Due to the difference between the work function of graphene and the work function of gold (Au), holes are doped in the third portion 1c in contact with the first electrode 2a.
- the electromagnetic wave detector 100 is driven in the electron conduction state in the state where the holes are doped in the third portion 1c, the mobility of the electrons flowing in the channel decreases due to the influence of the holes. Therefore, the contact resistance between the two-dimensional material layer 1 and the first electrode 2a increases.
- the amount of carriers (doped amount) injected from the first electrode 2a into the two-dimensional material layer 1 is large.

- the semiconductor layer 4 When the semiconductor layer 4 is irradiated with an electromagnetic wave having a wavelength having a sensitivity (electromagnetic wave having a detection wavelength), optical carriers are generated inside the semiconductor layer 4.
- the two-dimensional material layer 1 and the semiconductor layer 4 function as diodes. Therefore, the optical carriers generated in the region of the semiconductor layer 4 facing the opening OP are injected into the first portion 1a of the two-dimensional material layer 1.
- the magnitude of the current I changes as the optical carrier passes through the first portion 1a.
- the current component that causes a change in the magnitude of the current when irradiated with an electromagnetic wave is called a photocurrent.
- the above-mentioned optical gate effect is caused by the following process. Since the semiconductor layer 4 and the first insulating film 3a function as diodes, a depletion layer is formed at the interface between the semiconductor layer 4 and the first insulating film 3a by applying a voltage to the semiconductor layer 4. When the semiconductor layer 4 is irradiated with an electromagnetic wave having a detection wavelength, optical carriers are also generated in the depletion layer. The optical carriers generated in the depletion layer give an electric field effect to the third portion 1c of the two-dimensional material layer 1 via the first insulating film 3a. As a result, the resistance value of the two-dimensional material layer 1 changes, so that the current I flowing through the two-dimensional material layer 1 changes. That is, the electric field effect is generated by irradiating the semiconductor layer 4 with electromagnetic waves. The electric field effect changes the electrical properties of the two-dimensional material layer 1.
- the change in the current I is detected via the first electrode 2a electrically connected to the two-dimensional material layer 1. More specifically, the change in current I is detected by an ammeter (not shown) connected to a first power supply circuit (not shown) electrically connected to the first power supply. As a result, the electromagnetic wave detector 100 detects the electromagnetic wave radiated to the electromagnetic wave detector 100.

It may be detected by detecting the difference between the voltage of the first electromagnetic wave detector and the voltage of the second electromagnetic wave detector.
- the electromagnetic wave detector 100 includes a control electrode 2c. Therefore, the Fermi level of the two-dimensional material layer 1 can be changed by applying a voltage (control voltage V2) to the control electrode 2c.
- the Fermi level of the two-dimensional material layer 1 is unstable. Therefore, the Fermi level of the two-dimensional material layer 1 changes depending on the manufacturing environment and the operating environment of the electromagnetic wave detector 100. Changes due to the operating environment are, for example, doping from insulating films and electrodes and aging. Therefore, the Fermi level of the two-dimensional material layer 1 can change to energy in which a Schottky barrier is not formed between the two-dimensional material layer 1 and the semiconductor layer 4. In this case, the electromagnetic wave detector 100 does not operate properly.
- the Fermi level of the two-dimensional material layer 1 can change to an energy that cannot form a Schottky barrier even if it is an energy that can form a Schottky barrier at the time when the electromagnetic wave detector 100 is manufactured. Further, in the Schottky type electromagnetic wave detector in which the two-dimensional material layer is formed on the semiconductor layer, the Fermi level of the two-dimensional material layer does not change after the two-dimensional material layer is formed. Therefore, if the Fermi level of the two-dimensional material layer 1 is not the energy that can form the Schottky barrier, the Schottky barrier cannot be formed. From the above, it is necessary to change the Fermi level of the two-dimensional material layer 1 after the electromagnetic wave detector 100 is manufactured.
- the electromagnetic wave detector 100 includes the control electrode 2c. Therefore, even after the electromagnetic wave detector 100 is manufactured, the fermi level of the two-dimensional material layer 1 can be changed.
- the electromagnetic wave detector 100 includes a control electrode 2c. Therefore, the Fermi level of the two-dimensional material layer 1 can be changed to the energy at which a Schottky barrier is formed between the two-dimensional material layer 1 and the semiconductor layer 4. Therefore, a Schottky barrier can be formed between the two-dimensional material layer 1 and the semiconductor layer 4.
- the cutoff wavelength is a wavelength range in which the electromagnetic wave detector 100 can respond. Therefore, the cutoff wavelength can be controlled by applying the control voltage V2 to the two-dimensional material layer 1.
- the control electrode 2c sandwiches the second insulating film 3b with the two-dimensional material layer 1. Therefore, the control electrode 2c can be formed after the two-dimensional material layer 1 is formed. Therefore, the unevenness of the two-dimensional material layer 1 can be reduced as compared with the case where the two-dimensional material layer 1 is formed on the control electrode 2c after the control electrode 2c is formed. That is, the two-dimensional material layer 1 can be flattened. Therefore, the performance of the two-dimensional material layer 1 is improved. Further, after forming the two-dimensional material layer 1, the first electrode 2a, the second electrode 2b and the control electrode 2c can be formed at the same time. Therefore, the manufacturing process of the electromagnetic wave detector 100 can be reduced.
- the electromagnetic wave detector 100 is configured to change the voltage difference between the first electrode 2a and the second electrode 2b. Therefore, the bias voltage V1 can be applied to the two-dimensional material layer 1 and the semiconductor layer 4 so that the optical carriers cross the Schottky barrier. Therefore, the optical carrier can be injected from the semiconductor layer 4 into the two-dimensional material layer 1. Therefore, the detection sensitivity of the electromagnetic wave detector 100 can be improved.
- the electromagnetic wave detector 100 is configured to change the fermi level of the two-dimensional material layer 1 by applying a voltage to the control electrode 2c. Therefore, even after the electromagnetic wave detector 100 is manufactured, the fermi level of the two-dimensional material layer 1 can be changed.
- the control electrode 2c includes a plurality of control electrode portions 2c0. Therefore, by applying different control voltages to each of the plurality of control electrode portions 2c0, a potential gradient can be formed in the two-dimensional material layer 1. An internal electric field is formed in the two-dimensional material layer 1 by the gradient of the potential. Therefore, it is possible to improve the extraction efficiency of optical carriers generated by photoelectric conversion in the two-dimensional material layer 1 when irradiated with electromagnetic waves.
- the extraction efficiency is the efficiency at which the optical carrier moves from the semiconductor layer 4 to the two-dimensional material layer 1. As a result, the photocurrent flowing through the two-dimensional material layer 1 can be increased. Therefore, the sensitivity of the electromagnetic wave detector 100 can be improved.
- the two-dimensional material layer 1 contains any material selected from the group consisting of graphene, transition metal dicarbogenite, black phosphorus, silicene, graphene nanoribbons and borophenes. Therefore, the action and effect of the present embodiment can be surely obtained.
- the thickness of the two-dimensional material layer 1 is as thin as one atomic layer.
- the carrier mobility of single-layer graphene is higher than that of conventional semiconductor materials. Therefore, in the two-dimensional material layer 1, a large current change is generated with respect to a slight potential change as compared with the conventional semiconductor material. For example, the amount of current change due to the potential change applied to the two-dimensional material layer 1 due to the electric field change in the semiconductor layer 4 is larger than the amount of current change in a normal semiconductor.
- the electromagnetic wave detector 100 when calculated from the mobility and thickness of electrons in the two-dimensional material layer 1, the current change amount in the two-dimensional material layer 1 is several hundred times to several thousand times the current change amount in a normal semiconductor. It is about double. Therefore, the electromagnetic wave detector 100 according to the present embodiment can detect electromagnetic waves with higher sensitivity than the electromagnetic wave detector that detects only the optical carriers generated in the semiconductor layer 4.
- the electromagnetic wave detector 100 in addition to the photocurrent generated in the semiconductor layer 4 by light irradiation and the current associated with the optical gate effect, the light caused by the photoelectric conversion effect of the two-dimensional material layer 1 An electric current is also generated.
- the electromagnetic wave detector 100 can detect not only the current generated in the semiconductor layer 4 by the incident electromagnetic wave and the current associated with the optical gate effect, but also the optical current caused by the original photoelectric conversion effect of the two-dimensional material layer 1.
- the two-dimensional material layer 1 is electrically connected to the semiconductor layer 4 at the opening OP. Therefore, the two-dimensional material layer 1 and the semiconductor layer 4 function as diodes. Therefore, by applying the reverse bias to the two-dimensional material layer 1 and the semiconductor layer 4, the current I in the state where the light is not irradiated can be made zero. That is, by applying the reverse bias, the electromagnetic wave detector 100 can be turned off. As a result, it is possible to suppress the flow of dark current through the two-dimensional material layer 1, so that the sensitivity of the electromagnetic wave detector 100 can be improved.
- the current derived from the optical carrier injected into the two-dimensional material layer 1 is detected as the current I flowing through the electromagnetic wave detector 100.
- the current derived from the optical carrier injected into the two-dimensional material layer 1 is detected after the magnitude of the current changes due to the above-mentioned optical gate effect.
- the two-dimensional material layer 1 extends from the opening OP to the first insulating film 3a. Therefore, the two-dimensional material layer 1 is connected to the semiconductor layer 4 via the first insulating film 3a. Therefore, since the optical gate effect is generated in the two-dimensional material layer 1, the voltage of the two-dimensional material layer 1 changes.
- the voltage change of the two-dimensional material layer 1 is regarded as a pseudo application of a gate voltage to the two-dimensional material layer 1. Thereby, the conductivity of the two-dimensional material layer 1 can be modulated. Therefore, the photocurrent injected from the semiconductor layer 4 into the two-dimensional material layer 1 can be amplified.
- the optical gate effect does not directly enhance the quantum efficiency of the photoelectric conversion material, but increases the current change due to the incident of electromagnetic waves. Therefore, the quantum efficiency calculated equivalently from the differential current due to the incident of electromagnetic waves exceeds 100%, and when optimized, the equivalent quantum efficiency reaches about 1000% to 10000%. Therefore, the amount of change in the current I when the electromagnetic wave detector 100 according to the present embodiment is irradiated with the electromagnetic wave is the amount of change in the current when the electromagnetic wave is incident on the conventional electromagnetic wave detector in which the optical gate effect is not exhibited. Greater than. Therefore, the electromagnetic wave detector 100 according to the present embodiment has higher sensitivity than the conventional electromagnetic wave detector.
