报告摘要
Semiconductor heterostructures are central for all modern electronic and optoelectronic devices. Traditional semiconductor heterostructures are typically created through a “chemical integration” approach with covalent bonds, and generally limited to the materials with highly similar lattice symmetry and lattice constants due to lattice/processing compatibility requirement. In contrast, van der Waals integration, where preformed materials are ‘physically assembled’ together through van der Waals interactions. The flexible “physical assembly” approach is not limited to materials that have similar lattice structures or require similar synthetic conditions. It can thus open up vast possibilities for damage-free integration of highly distinct materials beyond the traditional limits posed by lattice matching or process compatibility requirements.
In this talk, I will discuss van der Waals integration as a general material integration approach beyond 2D materials for creating diverse heterostructures with minimum integration-induced damage and interface states, enabling high-performing devices difficult to achieve with conventional ‘chemical integration’ approach. A particular highlight is the creation of van der Waals metal/semiconductor contacts free of interfacial disorder and Fermi level pinning, thus for the first time enabling experimental validation of the Schottky-Mott rule first proposed in 1930s.
