If a student studies the end-of-chapter questions (which are linked to the italicized words in each chapter), then they will be successful on the test bank questions.2Chapter 1Introduction to the Semiconductor Industry Die:管芯 defective:有缺陷的Development of an Industry•The roots of the electronic industry are based on the vacuum tube and early use of silicon for signal transmission prior to World War II. The first electronic computer, the ENIAC, wasdeveloped at the University of Pennsylvania during World War II.•William Shockley, John Bardeen and Walter Brattain invented the solid-state transistor at Bell Telephone Laboratories on December 16, 1947. The semiconductor industry grew rapidly in the 1950s to commercialize the new transistor technology, with many early pioneers working inSilicon Valley in Northern California.Circuit Integration•The first integrated circuit, or IC, was independently co-invented by Jack Kilby at Texas Instruments and Robert Noyce at Fairchild Semiconductor in 1959. An IC integrates multiple electronic components on one substrate of silicon.•Circuit integration eras are: small scale integration (SSI) with 2 - 50 components, medium scale integration (MSI) with 50 – 5k components, large scale integration (LSI) with 5k to 100kcomponents, very large scale integration (VLSI) with 100k to 1M components, and ultra large scale integration (ULSI) with > 1M components.1IC Fabrication•Chips (or die) are fabricated on a thin slice of silicon, known as a wafer (or substrate). Wafers are fabricated in a facility known as a wafer fab, or simply fab.•The five stages of IC fabrication are:Wafer preparation: silicon is purified and prepared into wafers.Wafer fabrication: microchips are fabricated in a wafer fab by either a merchant chip supplier, captive chip producer, fabless company or foundry.Wafer test: Each individual die is probed and electrically tested to sort for good or bad chips.Assembly and packaging: Each individual die is assembled into its electronic package.Final test: Each packaged IC undergoes final electrical test.•Key semiconductor trends are:Increase in chip performance through reduced critical dimensions (CD), more components per chip (Moore’s law, which predicts the doubling of components every 18-24 months) andreduced power consumption.Increase in chip reliability during usage.Reduction in chip price, with an estimated price reduction of 100 million times for the 50 years prior to 1996.The Electronic Era•The 1950s saw the development of many different types of transistor technology, and lead to the development of the silicon age.•The 1960s were an era of process development to begin the integration of ICs, with many new chip-manufacturing companies.•The 1970s were the era of medium-scale integration and saw increased competition in the industry, the development of the microprocessor and the development of equipment technology. •The 1980s introduced automation into the wafer fab and improvements in manufacturing efficiency and product quality.•The 1990s were the ULSI integration era with the volume production of a wide range of ICs with sub-micron geometries.Career paths•There are a wide range of career paths in semiconductor manufacturing, including technician, engineer and management.2Chapter 2 Characteristics of Semiconductor MaterialsAtomic Structure•The atomic model has three types of particles: neutral neutrons(不带电的中子), positively charged protons(带正电的质子)in the nucleus and negatively charged electrons(带负电的核外电子) that orbit the nucleus. Outermost electrons are in the valence shell, and influence the chemical and physical properties of the atom. Ions form when an atom gains or loses one or more electrons.The Periodic Table•The periodic table lists all known elements. The group number of the periodic table represents the number of valence shell electrons of the element. We are primarily concerned with group numbers IA through VIIIA.•Ionic bonds are formed when valence shell electrons are transferred from the atoms of one element to another. Unstable atoms (e.g., group VIIIA atoms because they lack one electron) easily form ionic bonds.•Covalent bonds have atoms of different elements that share valence shell electrons.3Classifying Materials•There are three difference classes of materials:ConductorsInsulatorsSemiconductors•Conductor materials have low resistance to current flow, such as copper. Insulators have high resistance to current flow. Capacitance is the storage of electrical charge on two conductive plates separated by a dielectric material. The quality of the insulation material between the plates is the dielectric constant. Semiconductor materials can function as either a conductor or insulator.Silicon•Silicon is an elemental semiconductor material because of four valence shell electrons. It occurs in nature as silica and is refined and purified to make wafers.•Pure silicon is intrinsic silicon. The silicon atoms bond together in covalent bonds, which defines many of silicon’s properties. Silicon atoms bond together in set, repeatable patterns, referred to asa crystal.•Germanium was the first semiconductor material used to make chips, but it was soon replaced by silicon. The reasons for this change are:Abundance of siliconHigher melting temperature for wider processing rangeWide temperature range during semiconductor usageNatural growth of silicon dioxide•Silicon dioxide (SiO2) is a high quality, stable electrical insulator material that also serves as a good chemical barrier to protect silicon from external contaminants. The ability to grow stable, thin SiO2 is fundamental to the fabrication of Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (MOS) devices. •Doping increases silicon conductivity by adding small amounts of other elements. Common dopant elements are from trivalent, p-type Group IIIA (boron) and pentavalent, n-type Group VA (phosphorus, arsenic and antimony).•It is the junction between the n-type and p-type doped regions (referred to as a pn junction) that permit silicon to function as a semiconductor.4Alternative Semiconductor Materials•The alternative semiconductor materials are primarily the compound semiconductors. They are formed from Group IIIA and Group VA (referred to as III-V compounds). An example is gallium arsenide (GaAs).•Some alternative semiconductors come from Group IIA and VIA, referred to as II-VI compounds. •GaAs is the most common III-V compound semiconductor material. GaAs ICs have greater electron mobility, and therefore are faster than ICs made with silicon. GaAs ICs also have higher radiation hardness than silicon, which is better for space and military applications. The primary disadvantage of GaAs is the lack of a natural oxide.5Chapter 3Device TechnologiesCircuit Types•There are two basic types of circuits: analog and digital. Analog circuits have electrical data that varies continuously over a range of voltage, current and power values. Digital circuits have operating signals that vary about two distinct voltage levels – a high and a low.Passive Component Structures•Passive components such as resistors and capacitors conduct electrical current regardless of how the component is connected. IC resistors are a passive component. They can have unwanted resistance known as parasitic resistance. IC capacitor structures can also have unintentional capacitanceActive Component Structures•Active components, such as diodes and transistors can be used to control the direction of current flow. PN junction diodes are formed when there is a region of n-type semiconductor adjacent to a region of p-type semiconductor. A difference in charge at the pn junction creates a depletion region that results in a barrier voltage that must be overcome before a diode can be operated. A bias voltage can be configured to have a reverse bias, with little or no conduction through the diode, or with a forward bias, which permits current flow.•The bipolar junction transistor (BJT) has three electrodes and two pn junctions. A BJT is configured as an npn or pnp transistor and biased for conduction mode. It is a current-amplifying device.6• A schottky diode is formed when metal is brought in contact with a lightly doped n-type semiconductor material. This diode is used in faster and more power efficient BJT circuits.•The field-effect transistor (FET), a voltage-amplifying device, is more compact and power efficient than BJT devices. A thin gate oxide located between the other two electrodes of the transistor insulates the gate on the MOSFET. There are two categories of MOSFETs, nMOS (n-channel) and pMOS (p-channel), each which is defined by its majority current carriers. There is a biasing scheme for operating each type of MOSFET in conduction mode.•For many years, nMOS transistors have been the choice of most IC manufacturers. CMOS, with both nMOS and pMOS transistors in the same IC, has been the most popular device technology since the early 1980s.•BiCMOS technology makes use of the best features of both CMOS and bipolar technology in the same IC device.•Another way to categorize FETs is in terms of enhancement mode and depletion mode. The major different is in the way the channels are doped: enhancement-mode channels are doped opposite in polarity to the source and drain regions, whereas depletion mode channels are doped the same as their respective source and drain regions.Latchup in CMOS Devices•Parasitic transistors can create a latchup condition(???????) in CMOS ICs that causes transistors to unintentionally(无心的) turn on. To control latchup, an epitaxial layer is grown on the wafer surface and an isolation barrier(隔离阻障)is placed between the transistors. An isolation layer can also be buried deep below the transistors.Integrated Circuit Productsz There are a wide range of semiconductor ICs found in electrical and electronic products. This includes the linear IC family, which operates primarily with anal3og circuit applications, and the digital IC family, which includes devices that operate with binary bits of data signals.7Chapter 4Silicon and Wafer Preparation8z Semiconductor-Grade Silicon•The highly refined silicon used for wafer fabrication is termed semiconductor-grade silicon (SGS), and sometimes referred to as electronic-grade silicon. The ultra-high purity of semiconductor-grade silicon is obtained from a multi-step process referred to as the Siemens process.Crystal Structure• A crystal is a solid material with an ordered, 3-dimensional pattern over a long range. This is different from an amorphous material that lacks a repetitive structure.•The unit cell is the most fundamental entity for the long-range order found in crystals. The silicon unit cell is a face-centered cubic diamond structure. Unit cells can be organized in a non-regular arrangement, known as a polycrystal. A monocrystal are neatly arranged unit cells.Crystal Orientation•The orientation of unit cells in a crystal is described by a set of numbers known as Miller indices.The most common crystal planes on a wafer are (100), (110), and (111). Wafers with a (100) crystal plane orientation are most common for MOS devices, whereas (111) is most common for bipolar devices.Monocrystal Silicon Growth•Silicon monocrystal ingots are grown with the Czochralski (CZ) method to achieve the correct crystal orientation and doping. A CZ crystal puller is used to grow the silicon ingots. Chunks of silicon are heated in a crucible in the furnace of the puller, while a perfect silicon crystal seed is used to start the new crystal structure.• A pull process serves to precisely replicate the seed structure. The main parameters during the ingot growth are pull rate and crystal rotation. More homogeneous crystals are achieved with a magnetic field around the silicon melt, known as magnetic CZ.•Dopant material is added to the melt to dope the silicon ingot to the desired electrical resistivity.Impurities are controlled during ingot growth. A float-zone crystal growth method is used toachieve high-purity silicon with lower oxygen content.•Large-diameter ingots are grown today, with a transition underway to produce 300-mm ingot diameters. There are cost benefits for larger diameter wafers, including more die produced on a single wafer.Crystal Defects in Silicon•Crystal defects are interruptions in the repetitive nature of the unit cell. Defect density is the number of defects per square centimeter of wafer surface.•Three general types of crystal defects are: 1) point defects, 2) dislocations, and 3) gross defects.Point defects are vacancies (or voids), interstitial (an atom located in a void) and Frenkel defects, where an atom leaves its lattice site and positions itself in a void. A form of dislocation is astacking fault, which is due to layer stacking errors. Oxygen-induced stacking faults are induced following thermal oxidation. Gross defects are related to the crystal structure (often occurring during crystal growth).Wafer Preparation•The cylindrical, single-crystal ingot undergoes a series of process steps to create wafers, including machining operations, chemical operations, surface polishing and quality checks.•The first wafer preparation steps are the shaping operations: end removal, diameter grinding, and wafer flat or notch. Once these are complete, the ingot undergoes wafer slicing, followed by wafer lapping to remove mechanical damage and an edge contour. Wafer etching is done to chemically remove damage and contamination, followed by polishing. The final steps are cleaning, wafer evaluation and packaging.Quality Measures•Wafer suppliers must produce wafers to stringent quality requirements, including: Physical dimensions: actual dimensions of the wafer (e.g., thickness, etc.).Flatness: linear thickness variation across the wafer.Microroughness: peaks and valleys found on the wafer surface.Oxygen content: excessive oxygen can affect mechanical and electrical properties.Crystal defects: must be minimized for optimum wafer quality.Particles: controlled to minimize yield loss during wafer fabrication.Bulk resistivity(电阻系数): uniform resistivity from doping during crystal growth is critical. Epitaxial Layer•An epitaxial layer (or epi layer) is grown on the wafer surface to achieve the same single crystal structure of the wafer with control over doping type of the epi layer. Epitaxy minimizes latch-up problems as device geometries continue to shrink.Chapter 5Chemicals in Semiconductor FabricationEquipment Service Chase Production BayChemical Supply Room Chemical Distribution Center Holding tank Chemical drumsProcess equipmentControl unit Pump Filter Raised and perforated floorElectronic control cablesSupply air ductDual-wall piping for leak confinement PumpFilterChemical control and leak detection Valve boxes for leak containment Exhaust air ductStates of Matter• Matter in the universe exists in 3 basic states (宇宙万物存在着三种基本形态): solid, liquid andgas. A fourth state is plasma.Properties of Materials• Material properties are the physical and chemical characteristics that describe its unique identity.• Different properties for chemicals in semiconductor manufacturing are: temperature, pressure andvacuum, condensation, vapor pressure, sublimation and deposition, density, surface tension, thermal expansion and stress.Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold a substance is relative to another substance. Pressure is the force exerted per unit area. Vacuum is the removal of gas molecules.Condensation is the process of changing a gas into a liquid. Vaporization is changing a liquidinto a gas.Vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by a vapor in a closed container at equilibrium.Sublimation is the process of changing a solid directly into a gas. Deposition is changing a gas into a solid.Density is the mass of a substance divided by its volume.Surface tension of a liquid is the energy required to increase the surface area of contact.Thermal expansion is the increase in an object’s dimension due to heating.Stress occurs when an object is exposed to a force.Process Chemicals•Semiconductor manufacturing requires extensive chemicals.• A chemical solution is a chemical mixture. The solvent is the component of the solution present in larger amount. The dissolved substances are the solutes.•Acids are solutions that contain hydrogen and dissociate in water to yield hydronium ions. A base is a substance that contains the OH chemical group and dissociates in water to yield the hydroxide ion, OH-.•The pH scale is used to assess the strength of a solution as an acid or base. The pH scale varies from 0 to 14, with 7 being the neutral point. Acids have pH below 7 and bases have pH values above 7.• A solvent is a substance capable of dissolving another substance to form a solution.• A bulk chemical distribution (BCD) system is often used to deliver liquid chemicals to the process tools. Some chemicals are not suitable for BCD and instead use point-of-use (POU) delivery, which means they are stored and used at the process station.•Gases are generally categorized as bulk gases or specialty gases. Bulk gases are the relatively simple gases to manufacture and are traditionally oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, helium and argon.The specialty gases, or process gases, are other important gases used in a wafer fab, and usually supplied in low volume.•Specialty gases are usually transported to the fab in metal cylinders.•The local gas distribution system requires a gas purge to flush out undesirable residual gas. Gas delivery systems have special piping and connections systems. A gas stick controls the incoming gas at the process tool.•Specialty gases may be classified as hydrides, fluorinated compounds or acid gases.Chapter 6Contamination Control in Wafer FabsIntroduction•Modern semiconductor manufacturing is performed in a cleanroom, isolated from the outside environment and contaminants.Types of contamination•Cleanroom contamination has five categories: particles, metallic impurities, organic contamination, native oxides and electrostatic discharge. Killer defects are those causes of failure where the chip fails during electrical test.Particles: objects that adhere to a wafer surface and cause yield loss. A particle is a killer defect if it is greater than one-half the minimum device feature size.Metallic impurities: the alkali metals found in common chemicals. Metallic ions are highly mobile and referred to as mobile ionic contaminants (MICs).Organic contamination: contains carbon, such as lubricants and bacteria.Native oxides: thin layer of oxide growth on the wafer surface due to exposure to air.Electrostatic discharge (ESD): uncontrolled transfer of static charge that can damage the microchip.Sources and Control of Contamination•The sources of contamination in a wafer fab are: air, humans, facility, water, process chemicals, process gases and production equipment.Air: class number designates the air quality inside a cleanroom by defining the particle size and density.Humans: a human is a particle generator. Humans wear a cleanroom garment and follow cleanroom protocol to minimize contamination.Facility: the layout is generally done as a ballroom (open space) or bay and chase design.Laminar airflow with air filtering is used to minimize particles. Electrostatic discharge iscontrolled by static-dissipative materials, grounding and air ionization.Ultrapure deiniozed (DI) water: Unacceptable contaminants are removed from DI water through filtration to maintain a resistivity of 18 megohm-cm. The zeta potential represents a charge on fine particles in water, which are trapped by a special filter. UV lamps are used for bacterial sterilization.Process chemicals: filtered to be free of contamination, either by particle filtration, microfiltration (membrane filter), ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis (or hyperfiltration).Process gases: filtered to achieve ultraclean gas.Production equipment: a significant source of particles in a fab.Workstation design: a common layout is bulkhead equipment, where the major equipment is located behind the production bay in the service chase. Wafer handling is done with robotic wafer handlers. A minienvironment is a localized environment where wafers are transferred on a pod and isolated from contamination.Wafer Wet Cleaning•The predominant wafer surface cleaning process is with wet chemistry. The industry standard wet-clean process is the RCA clean, consisting of standard clean 1 (SC-1) and standard clean 2 (SC-2).•SC-1 is a mixture of ammonium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide and DI water and capable of removing particles and organic materials. For particles, removal is primarily through oxidation of the particle or electric repulsion.•SC-2 is a mixture of hydrochloric acid, hydrogen peroxide and DI water and used to remove metals from the wafer surface.•RCA clean has been modified with diluted cleaning chemistries. The piranha cleaning mixture combines sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide to remove organic and metallic impurities. Many cleaning steps include an HF last step to remove native oxide.•Megasonics(兆声清洗) is widely used for wet cleaning. It has ultrasonic energy with frequencies near 1 MHz. Spray cleaning will spray wet-cleaning chemicals onto the wafer. Scrubbing is an effective method for removing particles from the wafer surface.•Wafer rinse is done with overflow rinse, dump rinse and spray rinse. Wafer drying is done with spin dryer or IPA(异丙醇) vapor dry (isopropyl alcohol).•Some alternatives to RCA clean are dry cleaning, such as with plasma-based cleaning, ozone and cryogenic aerosol cleaning.Chapter 7Metrology and Defect InspectionIC Metrology•In a wafer fab, metrology refers to the techniques and procedures for determining physical and electrical properties of the wafer.•In-process data has traditionally been collected on monitor wafers. Measurement equipment is either stand-alone or integrated.•Yield is the percent of good parts produced out of the total group of parts started. It is an indicator of the health of the fabrication process.Quality Measures•Semiconductor quality measures define the requirements for specific aspects of wafer fabrication to ensure acceptable device performance.•Film thickness is generally divided into the measurement of opaque film or transparent film. Sheet resistance measured with a four-point probe is a common method of measuring opaque films (e.g., metal film). A contour map shows sheet resistance deviations across the wafer surface.•Ellipsometry is a nondestructive, noncontact measurement technique for transparent films. It works based on linearly polarized light that reflects off the sample and is elliptically polarized.•Reflectometry is used to measure a film thickness based on how light reflects off the top and bottom surface of the film layer. X-ray and photoacoustic technology are also used to measure film thickness.•Film stress is measured by analyzing changes in the radius of curvature of the wafer. Variations in the refractive index are used to highlight contamination in the film.•Dopant concentration is traditionally measured with a four-point probe. The latest technology is the thermal-wave system, which measures the lattice damage in the implanted wafer after ion implantation. Another method for measuring dopant concentration is spreading resistance probe. •Brightfield detection is the traditional light source for microscope equipment. An optical microscope uses light reflection to detect surface defects. Darkfield detection examines light scattered off defects on the wafer surface. Light scattering uses darkfield detection to detectsurface particles by illuminating the surface with laser light and then using optical imaging.•Critical dimensions (CDs) are measured to achieve precise control over feature size dimensions.The scanning electron microscope is often used to measure CDs.•Conformal step coverage is measured with a surface profiler that has a stylus tip.•Overlay registration measures the ability to accurately print photoresist patterns over a previously etched pattern.•Capacitance-voltage (C-V) test is used to verify acceptable charge conditions and cleanliness at the gate structure in a MOS device.Analytical Equipment•The secondary-ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) is a method of eroding a wafer surface with accelerated ions in a magnetic field to analyze the surface material composition.•The atomic force microscope (AFM) is a surface profiler that scans a small, counterbalanced tip probe over the wafer to create a 3-D surface map.•Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) measures composition on the wafer surface by measuring the energy of the auger electrons. It identifies elements to a depth of about 2 nm. Another instrument used to identify surface chemical species is X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).•Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) uses a beam of electrons that is transmitted through a thin slice of the wafer. It is capable of quantifying very small features on a wafer, such as silicon crystal point defects.•Energy-dispersive spectrometer (EDX) is a widely used X-ray detection method for identifying elements. It is often used in conjunction with the SEM.• A focused ion beam (FIB) system is a destructive technique that focuses a beam of ions on the wafer to carve a thin cross section from any wafer area. This permits analysis of the wafermaterial.Chapter 8Gas Control in Process ChambersEtch process chambers••The process chamber is a controlled vacuum environment where intended chemical reactions take place under controlled conditions. Process chambers are often configured as a cluster tool. Vacuum•Vacuum ranges are low (rough) vacuum, medium vacuum, high vacuum and ultrahigh vacuum (UHV). When pressure is lowered in a vacuum, the mean free path(平均自由行程) increases, which is important for how gases flow through the system and for creating a plasma.Vacuum Pumps•Roughing pumps are used to achieve a low to medium vacuum and to exhaust a high vacuum pump. High vacuum pumps achieve a high to ultrahigh vacuum.•Roughing pumps are dry mechanical pumps or a blower pump (also referred to as a booster). Two common high vacuum pumps are a turbomolecular (turbo) pump and cryopump. The turbo pump is a reliable, clean pump that works on the principle of mechanical compression. The cryopump isa capture pump that removes gases from the process chamber by freezing them.。

Photothermal Response in Dual-Gated Bilayer GrapheneM.-H.Kim,1J.Yan,1,2R.J.Suess,3T.E.Murphy,3M.S.Fuhrer,1,4and H.D.Drew1,* 1Department of Physics,Center for Nanophysics and Advanced Materials,University of Maryland,College Park,Maryland20742,USA2Physics Department,University of Massachusetts,Amherst,Massachusetts01002,USA3Institute for Research in Electronics and Applied Physics,University of Maryland,College Park,Maryland20742,USA 4School of Physics,Monash University,3800Victoria,Australia(Received20February2013;published14June2013)The photovoltaic and bolometric photoresponse in gapped bilayer graphene was investigated by opticaland transport measurements.A pulse coincidence technique at1:5 m was used to measure the responsetimes as a function of temperature.The bolometric and photovoltaic response times were found to beidentical implying that the photovoltaic response is also governed by hot electron thermal relaxation.Response times of $100À20ps were found for temperatures from3–100K.Above10K,therelaxation time was observed to be ¼25Æ5ps,independent of temperature within noise.DOI:10.1103/PhysRevLett.110.247402PACS numbers:78.67.Wj,78.47.DÀ,78.56.ÀaThere is growing recognition that graphene has excep-tional potential as a new optoelectronic material,which has led to aflurry of recent research activity and rapid advances [1–3].Graphene’s unique massless band structure gives rise to direct transitions and strong(specific)coupling to light at all wavelengths[4],ultrafast response(from nanosecond to femtosecond)[4]room temperature operation for many applications.A photovoltaic response has been observed for visible light and we have recently observed both a photo-voltaic and bolometric response in bilayer graphene at THz frequencies[5].Diodelike rectification behavior is observed with contacts to dissimilar metals[1,2,5,6].However,the mechanism of the photovoltaic response has not been defin-itively identified.Both p-n junction physics,similar to conventional semiconductor photovoltaic sensors,and a thermoelectric mechanism remain viable possibilities.A photoconductive response was recently reported in biased graphene[7].In a recent study,we observed a hot electron bolometric response in gapped bilayer graphene,which highlighted the outstanding thermal properties of graphene [5].Therefore,understanding the role of hot electron effects in the photoresponse(pr)of graphene may be key to the development of graphene-based optoelectronic devices such as bolometers and photovoltaic sensors[8].Excited electrons in graphene thermalize quickly on the femtosecond time scale[9,10]by electron-electron scatter-ing[11].These hot electrons transfer their thermal energy to the graphene lattice by the emission of phonons on a much longer time scale because of the weak electron-phonon interaction[11–14].The thermal relaxation of hot electrons by optical phonons in graphene or in the substrate[10,15–19]and by acoustic phonons[5,20]has received much recent attention.The optical phonon cool-ing occurs on the picosecond time scale.Acoustic phonon assisted cooling with nanosecond to subnanosecond time scales is dominant for longer times and/or lower tempera-tures or pulse radiation energy[5,17,20].Hot electrons can be utilized for bolometric and photo-voltaic photoresponse detection[5,8,21].The bolometric response makes use of the temperature dependence of the resistivity,which is significant in gapped bilayer graphene. On the other hand,the hot electrons can also give rise to a photothermoelectric response.Diffusion of heat and car-riers to the contacts produces a thermoelectric response.A competing mechanism for photovoltaic response is charge separation by the built-in electricfields at metal-graphene junctions due to proximity doping[1,2].Delineating the relative importance of these two mechanisms in graphene photovoltaic devices is an important topic in graphene photodetector research.In this Letter,we use electrical transport and optical photoresponse measurements to characterize the bolomet-ric and photovoltaic response of a dual-gated bilayer gra-phene device.The temperature-dependent resistance of the device allows a bolometric response which is characterized both optically and with ac transport measurements[5].We find that light also generates a voltage across the sample with zero bias current.We compare this photovoltaic response with the well-characterized bolometric signal in the same device as functions of dual-gate voltages and temperature.In particular,pulse coincidence measure-ments reveal that the photovoltage has the same tempera-ture and gate-dependent relaxation time as the bolometric response,demonstrating that diffusive hot carrier relaxa-tion in graphene underlies the observed photo voltage of the device.The bilayer graphene device we studied was fabricated by mechanical exfoliation of natural graphite on a resistive silicon wafer(200 cm)which was ion implanted with boron to provide a highly conducting but transparent back gate.A300nm thick SiO2layer was then grown by dryoxidation on the silicon wafer.A micrograph of the device is shown in the Fig.1(a)inset,and a schematic device geometry is shown in the Fig.1(b)inset.A thin Nichrome film was used as a semitransparent top gate.Details of the device structure and the gating scheme can be found in Ref.[5].The dual-gated structure allows for independent tuning of carrier density and band gap of the bilayer gra-phene device.In this work,we gated the device for a small band gap which diminishes the bolometric response mak-ing the photovoltaic response more evident.Figure 1(a)shows the device resistance R at 7.3K as a function of back gate (bg)voltage V bg at various top gate (tg)voltages V tg .A broad resistance peak appears near V bg ¼10V independent of V tg and is attributed to the part of the bilayer device that is not gated by the top gate [22].The other sharper peak shifts with V tg and is attributed to the charge neutral point of the dual-gated region of the device.At low temperatures and moderate bias currents the photoresponse is dominated by the bolometric response.Because of disorder,the resistance has a power law depen-dence (R $T À0:06),which is weaker than the dependence reported earlier for a device with a larger band gap [5].The photovoltaic (pv)response V pv shown in Fig.1(b)was measured with bias current I dc ¼0.Near V bg ¼10V where R has a broad peak V pv doesn’t depend on V tg ,and V pv crosses zero at V bg %15V .This behavior is similar to that observed in photothermoelectric results reported ingraphene [8,16,23].For V bg >20V ,V pv depends on both V tg and V bg ,and reaches its maximum at the maximum R .The photothermoelectric response requires some asymme-try in the sample,such as contacts with dissimilar metal or size,nonuniform heating,or inhomogeneous doping.The asymmetries in our device are inadvertent and the thermal voltages are much smaller than expected for a device optimized for photothermal response.We note that the bias voltages used for our bolometric signals were in the mV range,much smaller than the gate voltages and too small for significant photocurrent generation as reported by Freitag et al.[7].To measure the response times of these signals,we used a pulse coincidence technique.The photoresponse was studied at 1:56 m with a pulsed laser with a 65fs pulse width and 100MHz repetition rate.Pulses from two fiber lasers (Menlo Systems)are locked together with a tunable time separation at a repetition rate near 100MHz,which allows pulse coincidence measurements with precise time delays from a few ps to 10ns without a mechanical delay line.To avoid parasitics the optical signals are then chopped at 1kHz and the average photovoltage is mea-sured with a lock-in amplifier.The absorption of 1:56 m radiation in the graphene was estimated to be 1.2%by considering effects due to the silicon substrate and the Nichrome top gate [5].The graphene absorbs an average power of 0.37nW from the pump and probe pulses and generates a temperature rise ÁT .From the estimated heat capacity of the graphene (discussed later)we estimate the peak ÁT to be 10K at T 0¼10K and 0.5K at room temperature.We also note that,at the low laser pulse energies of these experiments,the carrier densities are not changed significantly.The dependence of the photoresponse with pulse time delay for different bias currents is shown in Fig.2(a)under conditions that the device is gated to its charge neutral point.We find that the total photoresponse can be described as V pr ðI dc Þ¼V b ðI dc ÞþV pv allowing a separation of the photovoltaic and bolometric contributions.The bolometric signal given by V b ¼I dc ÁR was reported earlier [5].It is seen in the figure that this bolometric response is dominant except near I dc ¼0,where the response is purely photovoltaic.These pulse time delay data allow a measurement of the response time of the two components of the photores-ponse.For long pulse delay times,t d ,average probe-pulse induced photo voltage,V pr is independent of t d .When the delay is short (t d < ),however,the magnitude of V pr is reduced due to the nonlinear radiation power dependence of the response so that the photo voltage V pr ðt d Þdisplays a peak or dip at t d ¼0.The magnitude of this peak or dip increases with the nonlinear power dependence of V pr .Figure 2(b)shows V pv and V b ðI dc Þnormalized to the response at a longer time delay for several different I dc .All of the normalized V b for different I dc collapse to onecurveFIG.1(color online).Photovoltaic response and resistance

optical micrograph of the bilayer graphene device.Scale bar,10 m .Inset in (b)shows schematic of device geometry and electric-field-effect gating.because the small Joule heating I 2dc R does not significantly raise the electron temperature.Surprisingly,the widths of both bolometric and photovoltaic dips near zero time delay are seen to be the same to within the experimental error.The time constants determined by the half widths at half maximum of the dips are 0:12Æ0:01ns .This demon-strates that both V pv and V b ðI dc Þhave the same response times.Similar results are observed at different gating con-ditions and temperatures.Since the bolometric response is clearly thermal as was demonstrated earlier [5],these data imply that the photovoltaic response is also thermal in nature.To gain further insight into the nature of the photovoltaic response,we measured its gate voltage dependence.Figure 3shows the back gate voltage dependence of photo voltage at T ¼15K with V tg ¼0and I dc ¼0.As can be seen from the data in Fig.1(a),the top gate does not gate the entire device.To obtain uniform gating we control only the back gate voltage with zero top gate voltage.Figures 3(a)and 3(b)display the photovoltaic response below and above the maximum V pv observed at around V bg ¼25V .The peak or dip structure is associated with the sign of V pv ,and its depth or height depends on the nonlinear power dependence of V pv .Both sign and power nonlinearity depend on back gate voltage.For example,at V bg ¼15:5V the response V pv ðt d Þis independent of t d indicating that V pv is linear with radiation power.As the power nonlinearity of V pv grows above or below V bg ¼15:5V ,the dip or peak of V pv appears and grows.Remarkably,however,all of the pump-probe data have the same ¼25ps Æ5ps .The gate-independent time constant shows that the photovoltaic response is thermal at all gate voltages,not only at the gate voltage of maximum R [as shown in Fig.2(b)]where it could be directly compared with the bolometric response.This observation demonstrates that the photovoltaic response time in bilayer graphene does not depend significantly on gating conditions.Figure 4exhibits the temperature dependence of the photoresponse time obtained from the pulse coincidence technique in the temperature range 3–87K and at several different dual-gate voltages.Again,the response time for different gate voltages are seen to coincide within error.The time constant is found to decrease from $80ps at 3K to $20ps at 80K.Above T $10K , is seen to be nearly temperature independent to within experimental error.The thermal relaxation rate due to acoustic phonon emission is given by the ratio of the electronic heat ca-pacity C to thermal conductance G .The thermal conduc-tance was obtained using transport measurements as described in Ref.[5].Optical phonons for graphene and the substrate can also provide cooling of the electrons [17].Although we cannot rule these processes out,they are activated,and we expect them to be suppressed far below the acoustic phonon effects at the temperature of our experiments.For T <8K ,the transport measurements give G

is the Bloch-Gru¨neisen temperature given by k B T BG %2hv s k F [14].Assuming a sound velocity v s ¼2:6Â104m =s [24]and a disorder-induced charge density of n rms $1012cm À2[25],we estimate T BG $70K .Although our sample is nominally charge neutral at R max ,it is widely accepted that disorder creates electron-hole puddles [26],and thus,the effective T BG is nonzero at all gate voltages.Transport measurements show thatthe Bloch-Gru¨neisen regime behavior occurs for T <0:2T BG $14K [24].The behavior of G and C above T $0:2T BG may be complicated by disorder-induced supercollision cooling [20,27]and/or the nonparabolic band structure of gapped bilayer graphene [4]which leads to small Fermi energies.We measured G ¼0:91ÂT 1:04nW =K for T >8K ,which is reasonable in view of these considerations.On the other hand,diffusion cooling of hot electrons also produces a nearly linear T dependent thermal conductance.Diffusion cooling provides a thermal conductance k ¼ÃT=R g ,by the Wiedemann-Franz law,where ü2k 2B =3e 2is the Lorenz number,and R g is the resistance.At the peak resistance for our sample,k ¼3:4Â10À12ÂT 1:0W =K ,which is two orders of magnitude smaller than the electron-phonon conductance.We conclude that acous-tic phonon mediated cooling of hot electrons is dominant in our devices.We note,however,that the thermoelectric and photo-thermovoltaic signals are a consequence of diffusion.For asymmetric contacts the thermal diffusion and charge flow at the two contacts differs leading to a net potential differ-ence.The diffusion length ¼ðk=G Þ1=2is estimated to be 0:5 m at 10K which is much smaller than the sample size of 5 m so that the sample temperature rise and response time is dominated by the thermal conductance to thelattice,which greatly reduces the thermoelectric signals in these large area,low conductance samples.At low temperatures (k B T < ,where is the local Fermi energy in the graphene and k B is the Boltzmann constant)the electronic specific heat is C ¼ T ,where ¼ð 2=3Þv ðE F Þk 2B ,where v ðE F Þis the density of states for bilayer graphene.In the parabolic band approximation of (ungapped)graphene v ðE F Þ% 1=ð @2v 2F Þ,where the interlayer coupling 1¼390meV [28],v F ¼1Â106m =s is the monolayer graphene Fermi velocity.For our sample area of 25 m 2this gives ¼2:6Â10À20J =K 2.Thus,the thermal response time of our bilayer sample can be estimated ¼C=G %29ps independent of temperature for T >8K which is in rea-sonable agreement with the measured shown in Fig.4.In summary,we have reported photovoltaic response time measurements on gapped bilayer graphene.The devices show both bolometric and photovoltaic responses,which were separated by their bias current dependence.The iden-tical response time constants observed for the bolometric and photovoltaic responses as a function of gate voltages and temperature implies that both effects are governed by the same intrinsic hot electron-phonon thermal relaxation process.The observed response times of 10–100ps indicate that hot electron relaxation occurs through acoustic phonon emission.These observations support the growing realiza-tion that graphene has great promise for fast sensitive photo detectors over a wide spectral range and they highlight the hot carrier nature of the optical response.The authors thank A.B.Sushkov,G.S.Jenkins,and
