Deep Strain Engineering of Diamond for Semiconductor and Optoelectronics Applications

【Abstract】

Diamond, as an ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor, has shown immense potential in the fields of high-performance power electronics and optoelectronics in the recent years. Taking advantage of size effect and nanomechanical strategies, we showed that the single-crystalline diamond needles at the nanometer scale can have unexpected high flexural elasticity, with local elastic strain up to ~9%, approaching diamond’s theoretical elastic limit [1]. This discovery opens up the opportunity to modulate diamond’s semiconductor properties alternatively by "deep elastic strain engineering". To realize such strain-engineered device applications, we further microfabricated single-crystalline diamond microbridge arrays and have mechanically achieved sample-wide uniform, up to ~10 %, ultralarge elastic strains under uniaxial tensile loading [2]. This ultralarge strain significantly reduced the diamond bandgap by >2eV or convert diamond from indirect bandgap to direct bandgap semiconductor. Our works offer new insights and solutions for applying nanomechanics for diamond functional devices, which demonstrates great application potential of "deep strain engineering" for future microelectronics, optoelectronics, and quantum information technologies.

除了作为超硬材料，金刚石事实上也是一种优异的超宽禁带半导体材料，近年来在高性能功率电子和光电器件领域显示出巨大潜力。基于材料尺寸效应和独特的纳米力学策略，我们展示了纳米尺度的单晶金刚石针具有意想不到的高弯曲弹性，局部弹性拉伸应变可达到约9%，接近金刚石的理论弹性极限[1]。这一发现不仅挑战了金刚石的理论拉伸强度，也为通过纳米力学实现半导体深度应变工程开辟了一条新的道路。为了促进其应变器件应用，我们进一步通过微加工得到单晶金刚石的微纳阵列结构，通过原位单轴拉伸力学加载，首次实现了整体均匀、接近10%的全域弹性应变 [2]。通过理论计算和初步实验指出，这种超大弹性拉伸应变可显著降低了金刚石的带隙，甚至可以有望将金刚石从间接带隙转变为直接带隙半导体。这一系列的前沿交叉研究为纳米力学应用于金刚石等新型半导体功能器件的调控和研发提供了新的见解和解决方案，展示了“深度应变工程”在微电子、光电和量子信息技术中的巨大应用潜力。
