研究目的
Investigating the total-ionizing-dose response of few-layer MoS2 transistors with ZrO2 or h-BN gate dielectrics under various bias conditions.
研究成果
Significant radiation-induced charge trapping is observed in all cases. For devices with ZrO2 dielectrics, greater threshold voltage shifts and peak transconductance degradation are observed for devices irradiated under negative and grounded top-gate bias than for positive top-gate bias irradiation. h-BN devices exhibit positive threshold voltage shifts under negative bias irradiation because boron vacancies and substitutional carbon (CB) in the h-BN serve as additional electron traps in these structures. Similar transconductance degradation is observed in both ZrO2 and h-BN passivated devices, as a result of both negative and positive charge trapping at the surface of the MoS2, and/or in nearby oxides.
研究不足
The study is limited to the effects of X-ray irradiation on MoS2 transistors with ZrO2 or h-BN gate dielectrics under various bias conditions. The findings may not be directly applicable to other types of radiation or materials.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves the preparation of dual gated few-layer MoS2 FETs with ZrO2 or h-BN as gate dielectrics and a buried SiO2 layer. X-ray irradiation was performed on these MoS2 transistors as a function of applied bias. Low-frequency noise measurements were performed as a function of temperature to provide insight into the nature and energy distribution of defects and radiation-induced charge trapping in these devices. Density functional theory calculations were used to explore the nature of the defects.
