Functionalization of two-dimensional nanomaterials based on graphene / Fonctionnalisation de nano-matériaux bidimensionnels à base de graphène

Lin, Yu-Pu 18 September 2014 (has links)
Cette étude de la fonctionnalisation de graphène se base principalement sur la monocouche de graphène épitaxiée sur SiC. Les propriétés électroniques, structurales et les compositions chimiques du graphène fonctionnalisé sont étudiées. L'incorporation d'azote dans le graphène réalisée par les procédures à base de plasma montre un décalage de niveaux inoccupés du graphène vers EF , obtenue par les analyses spectroscopie de photoémission inverse en résolution angulaire. Ce dopage-n est attribué à la présence de graphitique-N. De plus, la configuration des espèces de N substitués dans le graphène peut être contrôlée efficacement par l'énergie, les espèces d'azote incidentes, et l'épaisseur du graphène de départ. L'hydrogénation de la couche tampon de graphène (BLG) à température variante sature les liaisons pendantes de Si de l'interface différemment, soit par la formation de nouvelles liaisons C-Si à température ambiente, soit par les hydrogènes intercalés. Le BLG devient fortement-isolant dans le premier cas, et devient une monocouche de graphène quasi-autoportante (QFSG) dans le second, permettant un nouveau concept de fabrication des dispositifs à base de graphène sur SiC. La réaction/couplage entre des molécules pi-conjugué et les graphène vierge ou fonctionnalisé est aussi étudiée. Les états inoccupés des molécules à base de perylene sont légèrement modiffiées sur le graphène dopé N à cause d'un renforcement de transfert de charge. Des réactions chimiques entre les molécules perylenes et le graphène sont observées aprés l'exposition aux électrons de basse énergie. En résumé, cette étude permettra une meilleure maîtrise des propriétés des matériaux 2D comme le graphène. / In order to promote 2D materials like graphene to their numerous applications, new methodsaltering their electronic and chemical properties have to be mastered. In this thesis, theprocesses of chemical doping and hydrogenation of monolayer graphene grown on SiC are investigated. Nitrogen atoms are successfully substituted in the graphene lattice using plasma-basedmethods. The bonding configurations of the incorporated N can be controlled via the nature and energy of exposing species and the thickness of the pristine graphene. An n-type doping, revealed by angle-resolved inverse photoemission spectroscopy (ARIPES), is found in most N-doped graphene and is assigned to the presence of graphitic-N. Hydrogenations of the buffer layer of graphene (BLG) on SiC at ambient or high temperatures saturate the remaining Si dangling bonds at BLG/SiC interface in two different ways, either by inducing additional C-Si bonds or by H intercalation. This results in 2D materials with distinct characters, an insulating, graphane-like H-BLG or a quasi-free-standing graphene, which may be used as a new concept for the engineering of graphene-based devices. The interactions between pi-conjugated molecules and the functionalized graphene are also investigated. The unoccupied states of molecules are altered by the presence of incorporated N, but the degradation of molecules due to low-energy electron exposure seems not enhanced by the doping nitrogen under the studied conditions. Nevertheless, the functionalization of graphene is demonstrated and its electronic and chemical properties are carefully studied, which should help to faster further applications employing functionalized graphene.

Benchmarking and chemical doping techniques for nanoscale graphene interconnects

Brenner, Kevin A. 18 March 2013 (has links)
The interconnect fabric that provides electrical connectivity to active devices is an essential component to modern semiconductor chips. As the dimensions of these devices are scaled to improve performance and keep pace with Moore's Law, the local Cu interconnects must scale in parallel. Intrinsic material properties of Cu result in spiking electrical resistivity with scaling and present a looming bottleneck to chip performance. In this thesis, we introduce graphene as a replacement material to Cu interconnects in support of future chip scaling. In particular we focus on experimentally establishing fundamental mechanisms of chemically doping graphene via the basal plane and edge passivation, with broad contributions that extend beyond the focus of local interconnects.

Ingénierie des propriétés optoélectroniques du graphène / Engineering of graphene optoelectronic properties

Arezki, Hakim 13 May 2016 (has links)
Ce travail s’est articulé autour de la modulation des propriétés électroniques du graphène. Un des objectifs visés étant la conception d’électrodes transparentes pour des applications photovoltaïques. Différentes techniques de dopage ont été utilisées pour la modulation du travail de sortie (WF) et de la mobilité électronique comme l’incorporation d’azote in-situ lors de la croissance, l’incorporation d’azote ex-situ par acide nitrique et acide aurique. Diverses techniques de caractérisation ont été employées notamment la microscopie à force atomique AFM/CPAFM, la spectroscopie Raman, la spectroscopie photoélectronique (XPS et UPS), les mesures de transport électrique par effet Hall et effet de champ. Ces techniques nous ont permis de déterminer l’homogénéité, la qualité cristalline, la variation de densité de charges électronique, la résistance électrique et la mobilité électronique des différents matériaux intrinsèques et dopés. Par ailleurs, nous avons montré qu’il était possible de moduler le travail de sortie du graphène CVD en déposant par PECVD du silicium amorphe dopé N ou P sans endommager le graphène. Cette approche présente un intérêt particulier pour la substitution de l’ITO par le graphène en tant qu’électrode transparente. Les mesures de transport électronique ont mis en évidence un transfert de charges à l’interface de l’hétérojonction graphène/silicium amorphe. Cette variation dépend non seulement du type du dopage du silicium amorphe mais aussi de la cristallinité de ce dernier, ainsi peut-on espérer réduire la résistivité d’une électrode pour cellule photovoltaïque. / This work was structured around the modulation of the electronic properties of graphene obtained via the CVD growth on copper substrate and/or the graphitization of the carbon atoms in the SiC substrate. One of the objectives was the design of electrodes (front or rear) for photovoltaic cells, among other applications. Different doping techniques have been implemented for modulating the work function (WF) and the electron mobility i.e. the incorporation of nitrogen in-situ during the growth, ex-situ incorporation by nitric acid and/or nano gold colloids (AuCl3). In this work, various characterization techniques were employed including atomic force microscopy (AFM), Raman spectroscopy, photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS and UPS), electrical transport measurements by Hall and field effect. These techniques have enabled us to determine the homogeneity , thecrystalline quality of the material, the carrier density, the electrical resistance and the electron mobility of different intrinsic and doped samples. Furthermore, we showed that it is possible to modulate the WF graphene by fabricating a heterostructure composed of PECVD amorphous silicon doped N or P deposited onto the graphene. This approach is of particular interest for replacement of ITO with graphene as transparent electrode. This result was confirmed by the study detailed spectra of the XPS and Raman vibrational states. The electronic transport measurements showed a charge transfer at the interface of the heterojunction graphene/amorphous silicon. The variation observed depends not only on the type of doping of the amorphous silicon but also on the crystallinity of the latter. This approach can readily be adapted to photovoltaic devices.

The impact of molecular weight, air exposure and molecular doping on the charge transport properties and electronic defects in dithienyldiketopyrrolopyrrole- thieno[3,2-b]thiophene copolymers

Di Pietro, Riccardo, Erdmann, Tim, Wang, Naixiang, Liu, Xuhai, Gräfe, David, Lenz, Johannes, Brandt, Josef, Kasemann, Daniel, Leo, Karl, Al-Hussein, Mahmoud, Gerasimov, Kirill L., Doblas, David, Ivanov, Dimitri A., Voit, Brigitte, Neher, Dieter, Kiriy, Anton 10 January 2020 (has links)
We performed an in-depth study of high molecular weight poly[3,6-(dithiophene-2-yl)-2,5-di(2-octyldodecyl)-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4-dione-alt-thieno[3,2-b]thiophene] P(DPP2OD-TT) synthesized through the Stille coupling polycondensation in order to understand the correlation between molecular weight, processing conditions and charge transport. We observed a rapid increase in its aggregation in solution with increasing molecular weight which strongly limits the solubility and processability for weight average molecular weights beyond 200 kg mol⁻¹. This results in severe limitation in the charge transport properties of the polymer. We further observe the presence of bulk electronic defects in all different polymer batches that severely limit the current flow and manifest themselves in organic field effect transistors as apparent charge density dependence of the mobility. These defects are passivated by exposure to an ambient atmosphere, as confirmed by an increase in current and mobility that is no more charge density dependent. This is further confirmed by the result of chemical doping using 2,2-(perfluoronaphthalene-2,6-diylidene)dimalononitrile, F₆TCNNQ, which leads to the filling of the trap states and a higher charge density independent mobility of up to 1 cm2 V⁻¹ s⁻¹.
