Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This U.S. nonprovisional application claims priority under 35 U.S.C § 119 to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2022-0093176 filed on Jul. 27, 2022 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

BACKGROUND

Some embodiments of the present inventive concepts relate to a stack structure and a method of fabricating the same, and more particularly, to a stack structure including a two-dimensional material layer and a method of fabricating the same.

Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides have been researched and developed in various fields such as solar cells, photo-detectors, and light-emitting diodes because of their own chemical and physical properties as conductor and semiconductor materials.

Typically, in atomically thin two-dimensional materials, a reduction in thickness of a matter induces an increase in ratio of mass to surface of the matter increases, which results in an increase in surface area of the matter per unit mass. In addition, as the energy state of an electron reaches closer to that of a molecule, there appear physical properties completely different from those of a bulk material. An increase in surface area and an activation of the atomically thin two-dimensional materials, like the melting point thereof, influences a variation in physical properties and also influences a variation in optical and electrical properties by quantum effects, with the result that the atomically thin two-dimensional materials may be applied to novel optoelectronic materials.

Because the atomically thin two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides are applicable to biological markers, nonlinear optical materials, light-emitting devices, photo-sensors, catalysts, chemical sensors, and so forth, diverse methods have been attempted to more efficiently synthesize the transition metal dichalcogenides in the form of thin films.

The bubbler chamber 30 may include an empty space therein. The second supply line 26 may connect the growth chamber 12 and the bubbler chamber 30 to each other. The third supply line 28 may be connected to the bubbler chamber 30.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2A, the growth chamber 12 may be provided with a first two-dimensional material layer 1. The first two-dimensional material layer 1 may be provided on the second substrate 34 in the growth chamber 12.

The first two-dimensional material layer 1 may include a two-dimensional material including first transition metal atoms 101 and first chalcogen atoms 102. The first transition metal atom 101 may be, for example, a molybdenum (Mo) atom or a tungsten (W) atom. The first chalcogen atom 102 may be, for example, a sulfur (S) atom, a selenium (Se) atom, or a tellurium (Te) atom.

The first two-dimensional material layer 1 may have a planar structure that extends along a plane defined by a first direction D1 and a second direction D2. The first direction D1 and the second direction D2 may intersect each other. For example, the first direction D1 and the second direction D2 may be horizontal directions that are orthogonal to each other. A third direction D3 may intersect the first direction D1 and the second direction D2. For example, the third direction D3 may be a vertical direction perpendicular to the first direction D1 and the second direction D2.

The growth chamber 12 may be supplied with a hydrogen radical 103. The hydrogen radical 103 may be a hydrogen atom including an unpaired electron. The supply of the hydrogen radical 103 into the growth chamber 12 may include supplying a hydrogen gas through the first supply line 20 to the vaporization chamber 10, supplying a hydrogen gas from the vaporization chamber 10 through the connection line 22 to the growth chamber 12, and using the plasma generation device 14 to radicalize the hydrogen gas supplied into the growth chamber 12. The hydrogen gas may be radicalized by the plasma generation device 14, and thus the hydrogen radical 103 may be formed.

The growth chamber 12 may be supplied with a radicalized chalcogen precursor 104. The radicalized chalcogen precursor 104 may include an unpaired electron and have relatively large reactivity. The supply of the radicalized chalcogen precursor 104 into the growth chamber 12 may include providing a chalcogen precursor 2 onto the first substrate 32 in the vaporization chamber 10, using the second heater 18 to allow the chalcogen precursor 2 to be vaporized to form a chalcogen precursor gas, supplying the chalcogen precursor gas from the vaporization chamber 10 through the connection line 22 to the growth chamber 12, and using the plasma generation device 14 to radicalize the chalcogen precursor gas supplied into the growth chamber 12. The chalcogen precursor 2 may be solid.

The first supply line 20 may be further provided with a first carrier gas. The first carrier gas may help supply the growth chamber 12 with the hydrogen gas and the chalcogen precursor gas. The first carrier gas may be, for example, argon.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2B, the growth chamber 12 may be provided with a radicalized transition metal precursor 106. The radicalized transition metal precursor 106 may include an unpaired electron and have relatively large reactivity. The supply of the radicalized transition metal precursor 106 into the growth chamber 12 may include allowing a transition metal precursor 3 to be vaporized to form a transition metal precursor gas, supplying the transition metal precursor gas through the second supply line 26 to the growth chamber 12, and using the plasma generation device 14 to radicalize the transition metal precursor gas supplied into the growth chamber 12.

The transition metal precursor 3 may be liquid or solid. The liquid or solid transition metal precursor 3 may be vaporized in the bubbler chamber 30, and a second carrier gas supplied through the third supply line 28 may be used to supply the transition metal precursor 3 through the second supply line 26. The second carrier gas may be, for example, argon.

The hydrogen radicals 103 may cause defects 107 to form on the first two-dimensional material layer 1. The hydrogen radical 103 may react with the first chalcogen atom 102 of the first two-dimensional material layer 1, and thus the first chalcogen atom 102 may be separated from the first transition metal atom 101. The defect 107 may be formed at a location from which the first chalcogen atom 102 is separated. The separated first chalcogen atom 102 and the hydrogen radical 103 may be combined to form a hydrogen chalcogenide 105. The hydrogen chalcogenide 105 may be, for example, H₂S, H₂Se, or H₂Te.

Referring to FIG. 2C, the radicalized transition metal precursor 106 may react with the first two-dimensional material layer 1. The radicalized transition metal precursor 106 and the first two-dimensional material layer 1 may react with each other at a position of the defect 107 of the first two-dimensional material layer 1. A second transition metal atom 108 combined with the first transition metal atom 101 may be formed by the reaction between the radicalized transition metal precursor 106 and the first two-dimensional material layer 1.

When the second chalcogen atom 109 includes a selenium atom, for example, the chalcogen precursor 2 may be Se₈ and the radicalized chalcogen precursor 104 may be Se₆ or Se₇.

Referring to FIG. 2D, the combination of the second transition metal atom 108 and the second chalcogen atom 109 may be repeated due to the radicalized transition metal precursors 106 and the radicalized chalcogen precursors 104.

Referring to FIG. 2E, repetition of the combination of the second transition metal atom 108 and the second chalcogen atom 109 may induce an increase in size of a structure obtained by the combination of the second transition metal atoms 108 and the second chalcogen atoms 109. The structure, which is obtained by the combination of the second transition metal atoms 108 and the second chalcogen atoms 109, may grow along a plane defined by the first direction D1 and the second direction D2. An increase in size of the structure which is obtained by the combination of the second transition metal atoms 108 and the second chalcogen atoms 109, may cause a separation of the second transition metal atom 108 from the first transition metal atom 101 with which the second transition metal atom 108 is combined. The separation of the second transition metal atom 108 from the first transition metal atom 101 may form again the defect 107 on the first two-dimensional material layer 1.

Referring to FIG. 2F, the radicalized chalcogen precursor 104 may react with the first two-dimensional material layer 1 at the defect 107 of the first two-dimensional material layer 1. The second chalcogen atom 109 combined with the first transition metal atom 101 may be formed by the reaction between the radicalized chalcogen precursor 104 and the first two-dimensional material layer 1. The second chalcogen atom 109, which is combined with the first transition metal atom 101, may be disposed between the first transition metal atom 101 and the second transition metal atom 108.

The structures obtained by the combination of the second transition metal atoms 108 and the second chalcogen atoms 109 may be connected to each other, and a second two-dimensional material layer 4 may be formed which includes the second transition metal atoms 108 and the second chalcogen atoms 109. The formation of the second two-dimensional material layer 4 may form a stack structure including the second two-dimensional material layer 4 on the first two-dimensional material layer 1.

In a method of fabricating the stack structure according to some embodiments, as the plasma generation device 14 is used to form the second two-dimensional material layer 4 on the first two-dimensional material layer 1, the second two-dimensional material layer 4 may be formed to have the same crystal orientation as that of the first two-dimensional material layer 1.

In a method of fabricating the stack structure according to some embodiments, as the plasma generation device 14 is used to form the second two-dimensional material layer 4 on the first two-dimensional material layer 1, the second two-dimensional material layer 4 may be formed to have a large size on the first two-dimensional material layer 1.

FIG. 3A illustrates the crystal orientation of a stack structure according to some embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 3A, a stack structure according to some embodiments may have a single-crystalline structure in which a first two-dimensional material layer and a second two-dimensional material layer have the same crystal orientation. The first transition metal atom 101 and the second transition metal atom 108 may be the same transition metal, and the first chalcogen atom 102 and the second chalcogen atom 109 may be the same chalcogen. Therefore, no lattice mismatch may occur between the first two-dimensional material layer and the second two-dimensional material layer.

The first transition metal atoms 101 may overlap in the third direction D3 with corresponding second transition metal atoms 108. The first chalcogen atoms 102 may overlap in the third direction D3 with corresponding second chalcogen atoms 109. An interatomic distance between the first transition metal atoms 101 and the first chalcogen atoms 102 of the first two-dimensional material layer may be the same as that between the second transition metal atoms 108 and the second chalcogen atoms 109 of the second two-dimensional material layer.

A single first transition metal atom 101 may be arranged in one of a fourth direction D4, a fifth direction D5, and a sixth direction D6 with respect to its adjacent first transition metal atom 101. A single second transition metal atom 108 may be arranged in one of the fourth direction D4, the fifth direction D5, and the sixth direction D6 with respect to its adjacent second transition metal atom 108. The fourth direction D4, the fifth direction D5, and the sixth direction D6 may be directions parallel to a plane defined by the first direction D1 and the second direction D2. The fourth direction D4, the fifth direction D5, and the sixth direction D6 may intersect each other.

Referring to FIG. 3B, a stack structure according to some embodiments may have a single-crystalline structure in which a first two-dimensional material layer and a second two-dimensional material layer have the same crystal orientation. A first transition metal atom 101a and a second transition metal atom 108a may be different transition metals. Therefore, a lattice mismatch may occur between the first two-dimensional material layer and the second two-dimensional material layer.

One or more of the first transition metal atoms 101a may overlap in the third direction D3 with the second transition metal atoms 108a. One or more of first chalcogen atoms 102a may overlap in the third direction D3 with second chalcogen atoms 109a. A mismatch between the first two-dimensional material layer and the second two-dimensional material layer may cause the first transition metal atoms 101a to include a first transition metal atom 101a that does not overlap in the third direction D3 with the second transition metal atom 108a, and may cause the first chalcogen atoms 102a to include a first chalcogen atom 102a that does not overlap in the third direction D3 with the second chalcogen atom 109a.

An interatomic distance between the first transition metal atoms 101a and the first chalcogen atoms 102a of the first two-dimensional material layer may be different from that between the second transition metal atoms 108a and the second chalcogen atoms 109a of the second two-dimensional material layer. For example, the interatomic distance between the first transition metal atoms 101a and the first chalcogen atoms 102a may be less than that between the second transition metal atoms 108a and the second chalcogen atoms 109a.

A single first transition metal atom 101a may be arranged in the fourth direction D4 with respect to its adjacent first transition metal atom 101a. A single second transition metal atom 108a may be arranged in the fourth direction D4 with respect to its adjacent second transition metal atom 108a.

Even when the first transition metal atom 101a and the second transition metal atom 108a are different transition metals, the first transition metal atoms 101a and the second transition metal atoms 108a may be arranged in the same direction, and the first two-dimensional material layer and the second two-dimensional material layer may have the same crystal orientation.

FIG. 3C illustrates the crystal orientation of a stack structure according to a comparative example.

Referring to FIG. 3C, a stack structure according to a comparative example may be configured such that a first two-dimensional material layer and a second two-dimensional material layer have different crystal orientations.

A single second transition metal atom 108b may be arranged in one of a seventh direction D7, an eighth direction D8, and a ninth direction D9 with respect to its adjacent second transition metal atom 108b. The seventh direction D7, the eighth direction D8, and the ninth direction D9 may be parallel to a plane defined by the first direction D1 and the second direction D2. The fourth to ninth directions D4 to D9 may intersect each other. For example, the fourth to ninth directions D4 to D9 may be horizontal directions that intersect each other.

As discussed above, the first transition metal atoms 101b and the second transition metal atoms 108b may be arranged in different directions, and the first two-dimensional material layer and the second two-dimensional material layer may have different crystal orientations.
