紫外臭氧对二硒化钨晶体管的电学性能调控研究

Electrical performance modulation of WSe2 transistors by ultraviolet-ozone treatment

  • 摘要: 为实现对二硒化钨场效应晶体管(tungsten diselenide field-effect transistors, WSe2 FETs)电学性能的有效调控,采用了一种温和的紫外臭氧(ultraviolet-ozone, UVO)方法对机械剥离的WSe2薄片及其器件进行表面改性处理。与未处理及氧等离子体处理的样品相比,UVO处理后的WSe2在表面形貌和厚度方面无明显变化,表明该方法对材料结构具有较低的物理损伤性。开尔文探针力显微镜(Kelvin probe force microscope, KPFM)与电学测试结果表明,UVO处理可有效降低WSe2表面电势并提高其功函数,使晶体管阈值电压显著向零栅压方向偏移。得益于上述调控,器件载流子迁移率由1.37 cm2·V1·s−1显著提升至2.61 cm2·V1·s1。研究结果表明,温和的UVO表面改性方法可在保持材料结构完整性的前提下,有效改善二维WSe2 FETs的电学性能,为高性能二维电子器件的后处理工艺提供了新思路。

     

    Abstract: To achieve effective and controllable modulation of the electrical performance of tungsten diselenide field-effect transistors (WSe2 FETs), ultraviolet-ozone (UVO) treatment was employed to modify the surface of mechanically exfoliated WSe2 flakes and their corresponding devices. Compared with untreated samples and those subjected to oxygen plasma treatment, no obvious changes in surface morphology or material thickness were observed after UVO treatment, indicating that this method introduces negligible physical damage to WSe2. Results from Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) and electrical characterization indicate that UVO treatment effectively reduces the surface potential and increases the work function of WSe2, resulting in a pronounced shift of the transistor threshold voltage toward zero gate bias. Benefiting from these modifications, the carrier mobility of the devices is significantly enhanced from 1.37 cm2·V−1·s−1 to 2.61 cm2·V−1·s−1. These results demonstrate that mild UVO surface modification provides an effective and facile post-treatment strategy to improve the electrical performance of WSe2 FETs while preserving the structural integrity of the material, offering a novel approach for post-treatment processing of high-performance two-dimensional electronic devices.
