研究目的
To image and study spatial variations in carrier type and associated conductivity with nanometer spatial resolution in ambipolar tellurene field effect transistors using near-field scanning microwave microscopy.
研究成果
The research demonstrates that near-field scanning microwave microscopy can effectively image and study spatial variations in carrier type and conductivity in ambipolar tellurene FETs with nanometer resolution. It reveals that the global conductivity minimum results from the coexistence of p-type and n-type regions, not uniform neutrality, highlighting the importance of understanding local electronic properties for device development.
研究不足
The study is limited to tellurene devices; applicability to other materials may vary. Device encapsulation prevents the use of some probe methods. Spatial resolution is estimated at <60 nm, which may not capture all nanoscale variations. Hysteresis in devices requires careful measurement sequences for reproducibility.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses near-field scanning microwave microscopy (SMM) based on an atomic force microscope (AFM) to image local carrier type and conductivity in operando. Differential measurements are performed to determine carrier type. Finite element modeling (COMSOL
2：2) is used to simulate tip-sample admittance. Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Tellurene devices are fabricated from solution-grown tellurene films deposited on SiO2/Si substrates. Devices are encapsulated with HfO2 or Al2O3 using atomic layer deposition.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
AFM/SMM system (Keysight), vector network analyzer, IQ mixer (Analog Devices), COMSOL
4：2 software, tellurene crystals, SiO2 substrates, HfO2 or Al2O3 encapsulation materials. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Devices are mounted on an AFM scanner, wirebonded for electrical measurements. SMM images are acquired in contact mode at various backgate voltages. Differential signals are obtained by applying an AC tip bias and using lock-in detection.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Data is analyzed to produce maps of local carrier equivalence voltage. Simulations validate the microwave signal dependence on conductivity.
