Study Of Organic Monolayer Modified Metal Oxide Semiconductor Devices For High Temperature Applications

Abstract

We report fabrication and characteristics of an organic monolayer based Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) device. In place of SiO2 oxide layer in the MOS configuration, we used 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H- perfluorooctyl trichlorosilane (FOTS) self-assembled monolayer as a substitution. The MOS device was fabricated by simple steps like sputter deposition and dip coating method. The device was heat treated to different temperatures to understand its performance and efficiency for high temperature application. The MOS device was heated to 150{\deg} C, 350{\deg}C and 550{\deg}C and the energy band gap was found to be varied in the order 2.5 eV, 3.0 eV and 3.4eV respectively. For non-heated sample, the energy band gap is 3.4 eV. The results shows that the parameters like charge mobility ({\mu}), energy band gap, and resistance were found to be decreased after the heat treatment. The change in the energy band gap due to heat treatment has significantly influenced the I-V and the impedance characteristics. We observed that the MOS device started to conduct between 1V to 3V, further the device conduct till 20V. Impedance analysis show that device heated to 350 {\deg}C shows the low impedance but the impedance starts to increase for further heating up to 550{\deg}C. Using Multi Dielectric Energy Band Diagram Program (MEBDP) we studied the MOS structure and C-V characteristics and temperature dependent behavior of the devices from 100K to 600K. Our experimental work and simulation studies confirm that the FOTS SAM substituted MOS device could be used for high temperature applications. The experimental observations are well supported by the simulation results. This study shows that the FOTS organic monolayer are promising substitute for SiO2 oxide layer in the MOS and MOSFET which could be used high temperature applications.

Emergence of spin-orbit coupling among spin, atomic orbital, and Bloch dynamics in Janus double-transition-metal MXenes

We found a spin-orbit coupling to cause a simultaneous correlation among three degrees of freedom, the electronic spin, orbital, and Bloch dynamics in an investigation into the electronic structure of Janus double-transition-metal MXenes, Mo$_2$HfC$_2$OS and W$_2$HfC$_2$OS. In this paper, it is also revealed that the spin-orbit coupling causes a staggered spin configuration with a trigonal pattern around the $\Gamma$ point near the insulating gap. We developed a reduced Hamiltonian describing the electronic states and show that the spin-orbit coupling cannot be equated with conventional forms for a single electron in solids, LS, Rashba, and Dresselhaus couplings, even in the approximation under the low-energy and small wave number condition. Because of the intrinsic shape of the conduction band, a trigonally alternating spin-momentum locking emerges with the spin axis perpendicular to the layer plane. The theoretical analysis shows that these Janus materials can provide a platform for exploring the spin-related phenomena due to the trigonal spin-momentum locking other than Rashba and Dresselhaus types.

A substrate booster for P-type 2D ferromagnetic semiconductor

Spin transistors with its both charge and spin properties tuned via electrostatic gating are believed capable for widespread use, which however have proven challenging due to the extreme rareness of their physical base -- magnetic semiconductors. The latter are limited within very few systems including diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) and two-dimensional ferromagnetic semiconductors (2D-FMS), and known to suffer from inadequate gate-tunability of their electric and/or magnetic properties. Here, we show a substrate engineering paradigm by interfacing few-layered Cr$_{2}$Ge$_{2}$Te$_{6}$ (FL-CGT) with an antiferromagnetic insulator CrOCl. Owing to the subtle interfacial charge transfer couplings, CGT can be drastically turned from an ambipolar semiconductor into a high performance P-type semiconductor. When cooled below the Curie temperature, the ON-OFF ratio in such substrate-boosted FMS field-effect transistor (FET) reaches 10$^{5}$ with its coercive field $H_{c}$ of magnetic hysteresis loop tunable by a factor of more than 200$\%$, enabling {gate-assisted magnetic switching in the prototype semiconducting spin transistor architecture}. A crossover from critical power-law scaling to a dual power-law behaviour under heavy hole doping was further observed. Our findings {signify} an efficient interfacial charge transfer and electrically modulated magnetic anisotropy energy supported by calculations. This high performance P-type FMS-FET system suggests that active substrate-boosting paradigm might be a powerful path for the investigation of future gate-tunable spintronic devices.

In-plane magnetic field control of anomalous Hall response enabled by magnetic anisotropy engineering

Engineering magnetic anisotropy provides a powerful route to control magnetization orientation and unlock emerging functionalities in opto-spintronic and current-driven devices. Beyond its role in magnetization reversal, the effective anisotropy can strongly influence the magnetotransport response, offering an additional degree of freedom to tune new device functionalities. In this work, we report a magnetotransport study of a ferrimagnetic [Tb/Co]$_{\times 5}$ multilayer grown with a Tb thickness gradient, whose wedge-shaped tilts the uniaxial anisotropy axis slightly away from the film normal. Anomalous Hall resistivity measurements from 80 K to 300 K reveal a spin reorientation transition, while the angular dependence of the magnetotransport responses exposes the crucial role of the tilted anisotropy. A simplified macrospin model reproduces the full angular response across the transition and shows that the observed anomalous Hall effect when the in-plane magnetic field is applied originates from the tilt of the uniaxial anisotropy axis, which supplies a built-in symmetry-breaking mechanism, enabling in-plane field control over the out-of-plane anomalous Hall response, sign included. These findings establish tilted magnetic anisotropy as a promising route toward Hall effect-based sensor applications and highlight Tb/Co multilayers as a versatile platform for anisotropy-engineered spintronic devices.
