  10. Nanotube transistors are commonly p-type ? “n-type” is required for CMOS-like operations. Channel and contact are not clearly separated. Short Channel Single Clean CNT 0 Please remember… Noejung Park, DKU

  11. S D Dielectric Gate Isd Isd Vg Vg p-type n-type 0 n-type or p-type Noejung Park, DKU

  12. Invertor Noejung Park, DKU

  13. (Q) Why p-type FET is so common ? (A) Metal electrode itself induces the Hole doping or lower Schottky barrier. 0 Question and Answer Noejung Park, DKU

  14. S D Dielectric Gate Where is the Metal-CNT interface ? Noejung Park, DKU

  15. {Al, Au }/CNT interface (10,0)CNT Al Au Park and Hong, Phys. Rev. B 74, 045408(2005). Noejung Park, DKU

  16. {Bare Al} vs. {oxidized Al} Park and Hong, Phys. Rev. B 74, 045408(2005). Noejung Park, DKU

  17. Oxidation Work function increase ~ 1 eV Park and Hong, Phys. Rev. B 74, 045408(2005). Noejung Park, DKU

  18. Al nanoparticles deposition  hole doping {▼Oxidized Aluminium} Right-shift of Ids-Vg Metal Metal Au Gate dielectric Gate B-K. Kim, JO Lee,N. Park Nanotechnology Noejung Park, DKU

  19. 0 Answer p-type n-type p-type Al Au Noejung Park, DKU

  20. 0 Answer • It’s not easy to fabricate the ‘n-type’-favorable contact !!! • “Charge-transfer doping” by metal electrode itself • Small work function metals are vulnerable to oxidations Noejung Park, DKU

  21. Experimental Success : Al sputtering with high vacuum n-type FET Hwangyou Oh, JH Kim, and N Park, Appl. Phys. Lett. Noejung Park, DKU

  22. Al deposition without oxidation could lead to n-type FET !!! H. Oh et al. and N. Park Appl. Phys. Lett. (2006) Noejung Park, DKU

  23. Then, Does “large work function metal” always lead to p-type ? 0 Question again… Noejung Park, DKU

  24. According to Leonard & Tersoff(00), Electrostatics tells that the “large work function metal” should always lead to p-type !!! 0 Suggestions by others  Widespread misunderstandings Noejung Park, DKU

  25. Please remember …………. Bulk Metal and very narrow semiconductor Noejung Park, DKU Lin et al, NanoLetters2004

  26. “Fermi level pinning”, a text book review Semiconductor Metal Schottky barrier for n-type semiconductor X Neamen, Semiconductor Physics and Devices Noejung Park, DKU

  27. Irrespective of the metal work function, the Fermi level is pinned to somewhere in the midgap ! Noejung Park, DKU

  28. 0 Common understanding of metal-CNT contact CNT or a very thin semiconductor Metal • Irrespective of the contact details • Practically No pinning • Schottky barrier = Noejung Park, DKU

  32. Strong pinning No pinning FSB FSB Ef Ef Noejung Park, DKU

  33. Effectively No pinning, irrespective of the interface coupling. • “Large work function metals” always leads to p-type FET. Noejung Park, DKU

  34. Strong Fermi level pinning at M-CNT interfaces in some cases. The “large work function metal” does not necessarily lead to p-type !!! 0 Our Suggestion Noejung Park, DKU

  35. Au/CNT, Ef pinning at the midgap Noejung Park, DKU

  36. Al/CNT, Ef pinning at the midgap Relaxed Latt=14.882Å, Intertube=7.9Å Noejung Park, DKU

  37. 1.0nm Ef Pinning throughout the whole CNT MIGS Noejung Park, DKU

  38. 0 Partial Summary • Strong M-C bonds formation induces the strong Fermi level pinning !!! • Not only the metal work function, but the effect of the local dipole at the interface is also significant !! Noejung Park, DKU

  39. The more interesting M-C interface. No chemical bond, but with a pressure Metal Metal Au Dielectric Gate Noejung Park, DKU

  46. 0 Partial Summary • A large work function metal could show an ambipolar or even n-type conduction behavior !! Noejung Park, DKU

  47. Au Au Au Gate dielectric Gate n-type FET with large work function metal Gold/CNT contact Pressure Heinze et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 2002 Derycke et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 2002 Noejung Park, DKU

  48. KRISS (Dr. Jinhee Kim) Noejung Park, DKU

  49. 0 Co/Au electrode • Some devices show p-type, some others show ambipolar or even n--type operations. • The difference should be attributed to the difference in M-CNT interfaces. Noejung Park, DKU

  50. Then, Why the p-type is so common ? 0 Come back to the Question Noejung Park, DKU
