In this paper, we present for the first time a field-effect-transistor (FET) having a 10 nm thick tin sulfide (SnS) channel fabricated at the wafer scale with high reproducibility. SnS-based FETs are in on-state for increasing positive back-gate voltages up to 6 V, whereas the off-state is attained for negative back-gate voltages not exceeding -6 V, the on/off ratio being in the range 10-10depending on FET dimensions. The SnS FETs show a subthreshold slope (SS) below 60 mV/decade thanks to the in-plane ferroelectricity of SnS and attaining a minimum value SS = 21 mV/decade. Moreover, the low SS values can be explained by the existence of a negative value of the capacitance of the SnS thin film up to 10 GHz (for any DC bias voltage between 1 and 5 V), with the minimum value being -12.87 pF at 0.1 GHz.
在本文中,我们首次展示了一种场效应晶体管(FET),其具有在晶圆规模上以高重现性制造的10纳米厚硫化锡(SnS)沟道。基于SnS的FET在正向背栅电压增加至6 V时处于导通状态,而当负向背栅电压不超过 -6 V时达到关断状态,开/关比在10-10范围内,具体取决于FET尺寸。由于SnS的面内铁电性,SnS FET呈现出低于60 mV/十倍频程的亚阈值斜率(SS),并达到最小值SS = 21 mV/十倍频程。此外,低SS值可由SnS薄膜在高达10 GHz频率下(对于1至5 V之间的任何直流偏置电压)存在负电容值来解释,其在0.1 GHz时的最小值为 -12.87 pF。
