Description

Graphene transistor, preparation method and use method thereof and self-driven electronic skin
Technical Field
The disclosure belongs to the field of semiconductor devices, and more particularly relates to a graphene transistor and a preparation method thereof, and a use method and a self-driven electronic skin of the graphene transistor.
Background
The electronic skin system is an electronic device or an electronic system which is manufactured by using a new material technology, a sensor technology and a micro-electro-mechanical processing technology and can simulate the functions of human skin such as protection, perception, regulation and the like. The main goals of electronic skin are:
1. the flexible film is flexible and can be tightly attached to a human body;
2. intelligence: signals (temperature, blood pressure and pulse) of human activities can be sensed with high sensitivity to obtain quantitative parameter information;
3. systematicness: can quickly respond to the change of the external environment and can make feedback.
In order to satisfy the high sensitivity and high resolution of the electronic skin detection environment and device integration, the research of Field Effect Transistor (FET) -based electronic skin is of great significance. The active matrix type electronic skin based on the transistor has the advantages of multi-parameter monitoring, high sensitivity, high resolution monitoring, high integration degree and the like, occupies a great position in the research and development of the electronic skin, and can accurately detect temperature, pressure, stress and multiple parameters.
However, in the transistor operation process, the gate and drain voltages need to be applied simultaneously, and although the optimized design of the active matrix has greatly reduced the operation energy consumption, due to the limitation of the traditional gate insulating layer material, the operation voltage of the active matrix electronic skin is mostly higher than 5V, and when the electronic skin is worn or even implanted into a human body, certain safety hazards and inconvenience exist.
Furthermore, because conventional wearable electronic skins rely on external power supplies, long wires are installed, limiting mobility applications. Therefore, the self-driven (without continuous power supply or intermittent charging) flexible electronic skin meets the important requirements of wearable portable monitoring of human activities, and the application of the flexible electronic skin can be greatly expanded. The conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy is generally achieved by piezoelectric and triboelectric, wherein piezoelectric nanogenerators are applied to transistors based on ionic gel dielectric layers, resulting in piezoelectric self-driven electronic skins, which have been successfully developed. However, the research of the electronic skin based on piezoelectric self-driving still has certain problems, firstly, the effective induction area of the electronic skin is concentrated on the nanometer generator part, and the array space cannot be fully utilized; secondly, the voltage provided by the nano-generator cannot be used to effectively regulate the carrier concentration of the channel. Therefore, the development of more efficient self-driven electronic skins is a next problem to be solved.

Detailed Description
For the purpose of promoting a better understanding of the objects, aspects and advantages of the present disclosure, reference is made to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
In 2012, a triboelectric nanogenerator was developed which can convert mechanical energy into electrical energy in view of the coupling effect of friction and electrostatic induction. The friction generator (TENG) utilizes two materials with different triboelectric polarities to contact with each other and generate triboelectric charges on the surface, and a potential difference is generated during separation, so that current output is formed on an external circuit.
Triboelectric generators can also be combined with conventional field effect transistors to obtain contact field effect transistors, on the basis of which triboelectronics have been developed. In a field effect transistor, the semiconductor layer conduction channel width and carrier concentration are controlled by an applied gate voltage to regulate the source-drain current. In triboelectronics, TENG replaces gate voltage to regulate the source-drain current of a device, and the mechanical energy of the external environment directly controls the source-drain current. Because the field effect transistor is used for the electronic skin, the human body activity monitoring with high sensitivity and high accuracy can be realized, the friction nanoelectronics combined by the friction generator and the transistor is applied to the electronic skin, new advantages of self-driving, accurate controllability and integration are added to the advantages of the field effect transistor, and the field effect transistor can be used for personal medical treatment and man-machine interaction. For example, a wearable self-driven bionic membrane based on friction nano generator driving has the advantages of light weight, low cost, easy preparation, multiple functions and the like.
In order to make up for the high energy consumption requirement of the current electronic skin on external voltage and provide a theoretical and practical basis for developing safe and reliable self-driven implantable devices in the future, the electric double layer transistor driven by the electrostatic potential generated by the friction nano generator and the basic logic device thereof are researched in the disclosure, and the self-driven electronic skin based on the triboelectronics is developed on the basis. Therefore, the electronic skin developed by the application has obvious innovation in the fields of human health treatment and human-computer interaction feedback.
Thus, as shown in fig. 1, the present disclosure proposes a graphene transistor comprising a substrate layer 101, an electrode layer, a graphene layer 105 and an ion gel dielectric layer 106, wherein: the electrode layer comprises a source electrode 103 and a drain electrode 102 which are formed on the same surface of the substrate layer and are independently distributed; the graphene layer 105 is positioned on the upper surfaces of the source electrode 103 and the drain electrode 102, and two side edges of the graphene layer are flush with the side edges of the source electrode 103 and the drain electrode 102 respectively; an ionic gel dielectric layer 106 is located on the upper surface of the graphene layer 105.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the electrode layer further includes a gate 104 disposed on the same side of the substrate layer 101 as the source 103 and the drain 102, wherein the source 103 is disposed between the drain 102 and the gate 104; while the ionic gel dielectric layer 106 is in contact with the upper surface of the gate 104. Therefore, the graphene transistor disclosed by the invention does not need an additional electrode, breaks through the vertical structure of the traditional graphene transistor, and realizes a gate-source drain-channel coplanar structure, so that the space utilization rate is high.
Based on the graphene transistor, the present disclosure also provides a method for manufacturing a graphene transistor, including the following steps: preparing an electrode layer on a substrate, and photoetching the electrode layer to form an independent source electrode and an independent drain electrode; transferring a pre-prepared graphene layer to the upper surfaces of the source electrode and the drain electrode, wherein the graphene layer is in contact with the source electrode and the drain electrode; and preparing an ionic gel dielectric layer on the graphene layer.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in the step of preparing the electrode layer on the substrate, the electrode layer is further formed with a gate by photolithography, and the source is located between the drain and the gate; in the step of preparing the ion gel dielectric layer on the graphene layer, the ion gel dielectric layer is also formed on the upper surface of the grid electrode and is integrated with the ion gel dielectric layer on the upper surface of the graphene layer.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the graphene layer covers the upper surfaces of the source and the drain, and preferably, two side edges of the graphene layer are flush with the side edges of the source and the drain, respectively, so that a good contact can be formed, and the performance of the graphene transistor is improved.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a protective coating, preferably a fluorine-containing coating, is further formed on the upper surface of the ionic gel dielectric layer, so that not only is the charge density increased by utilizing the strong electron-attracting ability of the fluorine-containing material, but also the output of frictional electricity generation is increased, and the durability of the ionic gel dielectric layer is improved, so that the ionic gel dielectric layer can meet the requirement of long-term use of electronic skin.
As shown in fig. 1, based on the graphene transistor, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, a self-driven electronic skin is further provided, which includes a friction generator, and the graphene transistor is described above, in which either of two friction layers of the friction generator is connected to the gate 104, and the self-driven electronic skin is friction-driven by two friction layers 201, 202 of the friction generator. Wherein, the thickness of two friction layers 201, 202 in the friction generator is about 300-1000 μm, and the length is about 2-5 cm. The self-driven electronic skin constructed by the method meets the main standards of the electronic skin: the flexible film is flexible and can be tightly attached to a human body; intelligence: signals (temperature, blood pressure and pulse) of human activities can be sensed with high sensitivity to obtain quantitative parameter information; systematicness: can quickly respond to the change of the external environment and can make feedback.
The self-driven electronic skin is friction-driven by two friction layers 201 and 202 of the friction generator, and other power supplies can be connected with the grid 104 to provide grid voltage for the graphene transistor. Alternatively, the gate voltage of the transistor is provided by rubbing the ionic gel layer or protective coating with a rubbing material of positive or negative rubbing polarity.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the substrate layer is a flexible material; preferably flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the host material of the electrode layer includes a metal or a semiconductor material, and the semiconductor material includes graphene.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the method for manufacturing a graphene transistor may further include a step of depositing a graphene layer on the upper surface of the copper foil, including: and putting the cleaned and dried copper foil into a vacuum quartz tube, introducing hydrogen into the vacuum quartz tube, heating at a high temperature for a period of time, introducing methane gas while introducing the hydrogen, reacting to generate graphene, and gradually depositing the graphene to the upper surface of the copper foil to obtain the graphene layer.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in a method of fabricating a graphene transistor, the step of fabricating an ionic gel dielectric layer on a graphene layer includes: mixing 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazoline bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide and polyethylene glycol diacrylate monomers with a mass ratio of 90:8:2 with a 2-hydroxy-2-methyl propyl phenyl ketone mixed solution and a photoinitiator 2-methyl propyl phenyl ketone to form an ionic gel liquid; and adding ionic gel liquid on the upper surface of the graphene layer, and forming an ionic gel dielectric layer after mask exposure under ultraviolet light.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the base layer has a thickness of about 5mm and a length of 1-3 cm; the thickness of the source, drain and gate (i.e. electrode layer) is about 40-100 nm; the thickness of the ionic gel dielectric layer is about 300-1000 μm, and the length is about 2-5 mm.
The method adopts transparent single-layer graphene with high toughness and excellent electrical property as a main material of a transistor, develops high-efficiency durable ionic gel suitable for triboelectronics, and selects and optimizes a corresponding friction material, so as to construct a graphene-based double-layer transistor (GFET) in the triboelectronics. In the present invention, a single graphene layer is preferably used as the graphene layer.
As shown in fig. 2(a) to 2(d), the specific working principle of the self-driven electronic skin is described in detail by taking the self-driven electronic skin including a contact-separation type friction generator (without being limited thereto, the friction generator can also be of any other type of structure), in which when dielectric layer materials with different triboelectric polarities (positive triboelectric electrode sequence material and negative triboelectric electrode sequence material) are in contact, opposite charges are respectively induced on the surfaces; due to the electrostatic balance, no charge flows and no influence is exerted on the transistor (see fig. 2(a) and 2 (c)). When the negative friction electrode material 201 is separated from the positive friction electrode material 202 by a small distance, the electrostatic attraction needs to be overcome to generate a potential difference. As shown in fig. 2(b), when positive rubbing electrode sequence material 202 is connected to grid 104, grid 104 induces negative charges in order to balance the negative charges on the surface of the positive rubbing electrode sequence material, and ionic gel dielectric layer 106 becomes an electric double layer. The interface of the gate 104/the ionic gel dielectric layer 106, and the interface of the ionic gel dielectric layer 106/the graphene layer 105 have negative and positive ions respectively arranged in a directional manner. Due to the negative ions oriented at the interface of the ionic gel dielectric layer 106/graphene layer 105, it is equivalent to providing a negative gate voltage to the graphene layer 105, resulting in a decrease in the fermi level of graphene. As shown in fig. 2(d), when the positive friction electrode material 201 is connected to the grid electrode 106, the grid electrode 104 induces a negative charge in order to balance the positive charges on the surface of the positive friction electrode material, and the ionic gel dielectric layer 106 becomes an electric double layer. The interface of the gate 104/the ionic gel dielectric layer 106, and the interface of the ionic gel dielectric layer 106/the graphene layer 105 have positive and negative ions respectively arranged in a directional manner.
