Hall sensors batch-fabricated on all-CVD h-BN/graphene/h-BN heterostructures.

ABSTRACT: The two-dimensional (2D) material graphene is highly promising for Hall sensors due to its potential of having high charge carrier mobility and low carrier concentration at room temperature. Here, we report the scalable batch-fabrication of magnetic Hall sensors on graphene encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) using commercially available large area CVD grown materials. The all-CVD grown h-BN/graphene/h-BN van der Waals heterostructures were prepared by layer transfer technique and Hall sensors were batch-fabricated with 1D edge metal contacts. The current-related Hall sensitivities up to 97 V/AT are measured at room temperature. The Hall sensors showed robust performance over the wafer scale with stable characteristics over six months in ambient environment. This work opens avenues for further development of growth and fabrication technologies of all-CVD 2D material heterostructures and allows further improvements in Hall sensor performance for practical applications.

Batch-fabricated high-performance graphene Hall elements.

Project description:Hall elements are by far the most widely used magnetic sensor. In general, the higher the mobility and the thinner the active region of the semiconductor used, the better the Hall device. While most common magnetic field sensors are Si-based Hall sensors, devices made from III-V compounds tend to favor over that based on Si. However these devices are more expensive and difficult to manufacture than Si, and hard to be integrated with signal-processing circuits for extending function and enforcing performance. In this article we show that graphene is intrinsically an ideal material for Hall elements which may harness the remarkable properties of graphene, i.e. extremely high carrier mobility and atomically thin active body, to create ideal magnetic sensors with high sensitivity, excellent linearity and remarkable thermal stability.

Growth of Graphene/h-BN Heterostructures on Recyclable Pt Foils by One-Batch Chemical Vapor Deposition.

Project description:High-quality large-area graphene/h-BN vertical heterostructures are promising building blocks for many viable applications such as energy harvesting/conversion, electronics and optoelectronics. Here, we successfully grew high-quality large-area graphene/h-BN vertical heterostructures on Pt foils by one-batch low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD). We obtained the high quality of about 200-µm-wide graphene/h-BN film having uniform layer thickness. Moreover, the obtained graphene/h-BN heterostructures exhibited field effect mobility of up to 7,200 cm2V-1s-1 at room temperature. These results suggest that such graphene/h-BN heterostructures on recyclable Pt foils grown by LPCVD are promising for high-performance graphene-based electronics.

Postsynthesis of h-BN/Graphene Heterostructures Inside a STEM.

Project description:Combinations of 2D materials with different physical properties can form heterostructures with modified electrical, mechanical, magnetic, and optical properties. The direct observation of a lateral heterostructure synthesis is reported by epitaxial in-plane graphene growth from the step-edge of hexagonal BN (h-BN) within a scanning transmission electron microscope chamber. Residual hydrocarbon in the chamber is the carbon source. The growth interface between h-BN and graphene is atomically identified as largely N-C bonds. This postgrowth method can form graphene nanoribbons connecting two h-BN domains with different twisting angles, as well as isolated carbon islands with arbitrary shapes embedded in the h-BN layer. The electronic properties of the vertically stacked h-BN/graphene heterostructures are investigated by electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS). Low-loss EELS analysis of the dielectric response suggests a robust coupling effect between the graphene and h-BN layers.

Broadband photodetection using one-step CVD-fabricated MoS2/MoO2 microflower/microfiber heterostructures.

Project description:Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has been combined so far with other photodetecting semiconductors as an enhancing agent owing to its optical and electronic properties. Existing approaches demonstrated MoS2-incorporated photodetector devices using complex and costly fabrication processes. Here, we report on simplified one-step on the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) based synthesis of a unique microfiber/microflower MoS2-based heterostructure formed by capturing MoO2 intermediate material during the CVD process. This particular morphology engenders a material chemical and electronic interplay exalting the heterostructure absorption up to ~ 98% over a large spectral range between 200 and 1500 nm. An arsenal of characterization methods were used to elucidate the properties of these novel heterostructures including Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectrometry, high-resolution transmission and scanning electron microscopies, and Kelvin probe force microscopy. Our findings revealed that the MoS2 and the MoO2 crystallize in the hexagonal and monoclinic lattices, respectively. The integration of the MoS2/MoO2 heterostructures into functional photodetectors revealed a strong photoresponse under both standard sun illumination AM1.5G and blue light excitation at 450 nm. Responsivity and detectivity values as high as 0.75 mA W-1 and 1.45 × 107 Jones, respectively, were obtained with the lowest light intensity of 20 mW cm-2 at only 1 V bias. These results demonstrate the high performances achieved by the unique MoS2/MoO2 heterostructure for broadband light harvesting and pave the way for their adoption in photodetection applications.

Graphene/h-BN Heterostructures for Vertical Architecture of RRAM Design.

Project description:The development of RRAM is one of the mainstreams for next generation non-volatile memories to replace the conventional charge-based flash memory. More importantly, the simpler structure of RRAM makes it feasible to be integrated into a passive crossbar array for high-density memory applications. By stacking up the crossbar arrays, the ultra-high density of 3D horizontal RRAM (3D-HRAM) can be realized. However, 3D-HRAM requires critical lithography and other process for every stacked layer, and this fabrication cost overhead increases linearly with the number of stacks. Here, it is demonstrated that the 2D material-based vertical RRAM structure composed of graphene plane electrode/multilayer h-BN insulating dielectric stacked layers, AlOx/TiOx resistive switching layer and ITO pillar electrode exhibits reliable device performance including forming-free, low power consumption (Pset = ~2 μW and Preset = ~0.2 μW), and large memory window (>300). The scanning transmission electron microscopy indicates that the thickness of multilayer h-BN is around 2 nm. Due to the ultrathin-insulating dielectric and naturally high thermal conductivity characteristics of h-BN, the vertical structure combining the graphene plane electrode with multilayer h-BN insulating dielectric can pave the way toward a new area of ultra high-density memory integration in the future.

Digital Biosensing by Foundry-Fabricated Graphene Sensors.

Project description:The prevailing philosophy in biological testing has been to focus on simple tests with easy to interpret information such as ELISA or lateral flow assays. At the same time, there has been a decades long understanding in device physics and nanotechnology that electrical approaches have the potential to drastically improve the quality, speed, and cost of biological testing provided that computational resources are available to analyze the resulting complex data. This concept can be conceived of as "the internet of biology" in the same way miniaturized electronic sensors have enabled "the internet of things." It is well established in the nanotechnology literature that techniques such as field effect biosensing are capable of rapid and flexible biological testing. Until now, access to this new technology has been limited to academic researchers focused on bioelectronic devices and their collaborators. Here we show that this capability is retained in an industrially manufactured device, opening access to this technology generally. Access to this type of production opens the door for rapid deployment of nanoelectronic sensors outside the research space. The low power and resource usage of these biosensors enables biotech engineers to gain immediate control over precise biological and environmental data.

Vibrational Properties of h-BN and h-BN-Graphene Heterostructures Probed by Inelastic Electron Tunneling Spectroscopy.

Project description:Inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy is a powerful technique for investigating lattice dynamics of nanoscale systems including graphene and small molecules, but establishing a stable tunnel junction is considered as a major hurdle in expanding the scope of tunneling experiments. Hexagonal boron nitride is a pivotal component in two-dimensional Van der Waals heterostructures as a high-quality insulating material due to its large energy gap and chemical-mechanical stability. Here we present planar graphene/h-BN-heterostructure tunneling devices utilizing thin h-BN as a tunneling insulator. With much improved h-BN-tunneling-junction stability, we are able to probe all possible phonon modes of h-BN and graphite/graphene at ? and K high symmetry points by inelastic tunneling spectroscopy. Additionally, we observe that low-frequency out-of-plane vibrations of h-BN and graphene lattices are significantly modified at heterostructure interfaces. Equipped with an external back gate, we can also detect high-order coupling phenomena between phonons and plasmons, demonstrating that h-BN-based tunneling device is a wonderful playground for investigating electron-phonon couplings in low-dimensional systems.

Cross-plane Thermoelectric and Thermionic Transport across Au/h-BN/Graphene Heterostructures.

Project description:The thermoelectric voltage generated at an atomically abrupt interface has not been studied exclusively because of the lack of established measurement tools and techniques. Atomically thin 2D materials provide an excellent platform for studying the thermoelectric transport at these interfaces. Here, we report a novel technique and device structure to probe the thermoelectric transport across Au/h-BN/graphene heterostructures. An indium tin oxide (ITO) transparent electrical heater is patterned on top of this heterostructure, enabling Raman spectroscopy and thermometry to be obtained from the graphene top electrode in situ under device operating conditions. Here, an AC voltage V(ω) is applied to the ITO heater and the thermoelectric voltage across the Au/h-BN/graphene heterostructure is measured at 2ω using a lock-in amplifier. We report the Seebeck coefficient for our thermoelectric structure to be -215 μV/K. The Au/graphene/h-BN heterostructures enable us to explore thermoelectric and thermal transport on nanometer length scales in a regime of extremely short length scales. The thermoelectric voltage generated at the graphene/h-BN interface is due to thermionic emission rather than bulk diffusive transport. As such, this should be thought of as an interfacial Seebeck coefficient rather than a Seebeck coefficient of the constituent materials.

Magnetic field detection limits for ultraclean graphene Hall sensors.

Project description:Solid-state magnetic field sensors are important for applications in commercial electronics and fundamental materials research. Most magnetic field sensors function in a limited range of temperature and magnetic field, but Hall sensors in principle operate over a broad range of these conditions. Here, we evaluate ultraclean graphene as a material platform for high-performance Hall sensors. We fabricate micrometer-scale devices from graphene encapsulated with hexagonal boron nitride and few-layer graphite. We optimize the magnetic field detection limit under different conditions. At 1 kHz for a 1 μm device, we estimate a detection limit of 700 nT Hz-1/2 at room temperature, 80 nT Hz-1/2 at 4.2 K, and 3 μT Hz-1/2 in 3 T background field at 4.2 K. Our devices perform similarly to the best Hall sensors reported in the literature at room temperature, outperform other Hall sensors at 4.2 K, and demonstrate high performance in a few-Tesla magnetic field at which the sensors exhibit the quantum Hall effect.

Highly Sensitive Hall Sensors Based on Chemical Vapor Deposition Graphene.

Project description:In this work, we demonstrate highly sensitive and scalable Hall sensors fabricated by adopting arrays of monolayer single-crystal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) graphene. The devices are based on graphene Hall bars with a carrier mobility of >12000 cm2 V-1 s-1 and a low residual carrier density of ∼1 × 1011 cm-2, showing Hall sensitivity higher than 5000 V A-1 T-1, which is a value previously only achieved when using exfoliated graphene encapsulated with flakes of hexagonal boron nitride. We also implement a facile and scalable polymeric encapsulation, allowing the performance of graphene Hall bars to be stabilized when measured in an ambient environment. We demonstrate that this capping method can reduce the degradation of electrical transport properties when the graphene devices are kept in air over 10 weeks. State-of-the-art performance of the realized devices, based on scalable synthesis and encapsulation, contributes to the proliferation of graphene-based Hall sensors.
