研究目的
To develop a simple, non-disruptive and scalable van der Waals passivation approach to improve the performance and air stability of BP field-effect transistors (FETs).
研究成果
The van der Waals epitaxial growth of C8-BTBT thin films provides an effective approach to BP passivation, leading to high current density, high on-off ratio, and long-term environmental stability. This method is applicable to other unstable 2D materials, offering a pathway to explore their intrinsic properties and engineer interfacial modulation.
研究不足
The passivation effectiveness is limited by the potential existence of cracks in the C8-BTBT thin film, which may lead to oxidation after approximately 20 days. The study also notes the challenge of achieving scalability with some passivation methods.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed a van der Waals passivation approach using organic thin films (C8-BTBT) to protect BP against oxidation. The method selection was based on the need for a non-covalent, scalable passivation that preserves the intrinsic properties of BP.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Few-layer BP flakes were exfoliated on 300nm SiO2/Si substrate. The samples were characterized using AFM and Raman spectroscopy to monitor degradation and passivation effectiveness.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
AFM (Veeco Multimode 8), confocal micro-Raman system (Horiba LABHR), Titan scanning transmission electron microscopy, Agilent B2902A in Lakeshore probe-station.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
BP flakes were exfoliated and immediately encapsulated with C8-BTBT thin films via van der Waals epitaxy. Electrical measurements were conducted in vacuum conditions to assess performance and stability.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The study analyzed the electrical performance of BP FETs, including current density, mobility, and on/off ratio, and monitored degradation over time using AFM and Raman spectroscopy.
