半导体表面化学修饰的分子电子学

Molecular Electronics by Chemical Modification of Semiconductor Surfaces

Ayelet Vilan, David Cahen

摘要:

在金属/半导体界面中插入分子单层提供了微小化学修饰如何影响电子器件的最有力表达之一。这个主题对技术也有直接的重要性,因为它可以帮助提高各种电子设备的效率,如太阳能电池,LED,传感器和未来可能的生物电子设备,这些设备主要基于非经典半导体材料(第1节)。审查涵盖的主要方面,使用化学控制对齐的能级在接口(第2节):钝化界面状态(第3节),插入分子偶极子在接口(第4节),诱导电荷重排和周围的接口(第5节)。设置阶段后,我们考虑了独特的电流-电压特性,导致跨金属/分子单层/半导体界面的运输。在这里,我们专注于一方面作为隧穿势垒的单层和另一方面由于其空间电荷区(第6节)而在半导体内的静电势垒之间的相互作用,以及不同的单层化学物质如何控制这些势垒中的每一个。第7节提供了实用的工具,以实验方式识别这两个障碍,并区分它们,之后第8节以总结和展望未来结束故事。虽然这篇评论关注的是混合半导体/分子效应(见参考文献10)。1,2关于这个主题的早期综述),与单层和接触的形成有关的问题,以及仅由分子主导的电荷传输,已经在其他地方进行了综述[3-6],包括我们最近[7]。

英文摘要:

Inserting molecular monolayers within metal / semiconductor interfaces provides one of the most powerful expressions of how minute chemical modifications can affect electronic devices. This topic also has direct importance for technology as it can help improve the efficiency of a variety of electronic devices such as solar cells, LEDs, sensors and possible future bioelectronic devices, which are based mostly on non-classical semiconducting materials (section 1). The review covers the main aspects of using chemistry to - control alignment of energy levels at interfaces (section 2): - passivate interface states (section 3), - insert molecular dipoles at interfaces (section 4), - induce charge rearrangement at and around interfaces (section 5). After setting the stage, we consider the unique current-voltage characteristics that result from transport across metal / molecular monolayer / semiconductor interfaces. Here we focus on the interplay between the monolayer as tunneling barrier on the one hand, and the electrostatic barrier within the semiconductor, due to its space-charge region (section 6), on the other hand, as well as how different monolayer chemistries control each of the these barriers. Section 7 provides practical tools to experimentally identify these two barriers, and distinguish between them, after which section 8 concludes the story with a summary and a view to the future. While this review is concerned with hybrid semiconductor / molecular effects (see Refs. 1,2 for earlier reviews on this topic), issues related to formation of monolayers and contacts, as well as charge transport that is solely dominated by molecules, have been reviewed elsewhere[3-6], including by us recently[7].
