Silicon nanomembranes, also called SiNMs, Si thin sheets or films, are a great platform to study surface sciences, since the bulk is diminished and the surface-to-volume ratio is large. In a single crystalline material, atoms on the surface experience different forces, electric fields, thermodynamic surroundings, etc., than those within the bulk. Therefore, unique structural, mechanical, electronic, optical, and many other properties associated with surfaces overweigh bulk effects; novel phenomena emerge. In particular, electronic features of Si are of significance due to the extensive use of Si in integrated circuit devices and biochemical sensor technologies. As a result, especially with the size of transistors quickly decreasing nowadays, the exploration of electronic characteristics of Si surfaces become much more significant. This is also interesting as a topic within the area of fundamental surface science.

520 $a Silicon nanomembranes, also called SiNMs, Si thin sheets or films, are a great platform to study surface sciences, since the bulk is diminished and the surface-to-volume ratio is large. In a single crystalline material, atoms on the surface experience different forces, electric fields, thermodynamic surroundings, etc., than those within the bulk. Therefore, unique structural, mechanical, electronic, optical, and many other properties associated with surfaces overweigh bulk effects; novel phenomena emerge. In particular, electronic features of Si are of significance due to the extensive use of Si in integrated circuit devices and biochemical sensor technologies. As a result, especially with the size of transistors quickly decreasing nowadays, the exploration of electronic characteristics of Si surfaces become much more significant. This is also interesting as a topic within the area of fundamental surface science.
520 $a Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) provides a new structure for studying charge transport in the SiNM, which is monocrystalline and sits on top of the SOI wafer. I use SOI based SiNMs with two surface orientations: Si (001) and Si (111). The former is pervasive in industrial applications while the latter has interesting metallic surface states when 7x7 reconstruction occurs on a clean surface. My goal is to measure/infer the sheet conductance in the true surface layer with different surface situations, and to further investigate the surface band structure and how carriers distribute and move accordingly.
520 $a The biggest challenge is to eliminate interferences, e.g., bulk effects. The following are two solutions. 1) The thickness of the used SiNMs spans 40 nm to 500 nm, with a nominal doping level of 1015 cm -3 in our experiment. A straightforward calculation of areal dopant density indicates that charge carriers from the extrinsic doping are 1&sim;2 orders of magnitude fewer than the trap states at the interface between the buried oxide in SOI and the top SiNM, meaning that moderate doping is irrelevant and the SiNM acts like an intrinsic one. 2) The back gate that is applied to the measured sample is an innovative design among myriad analogous studies. It enables the tuning of the Fermi level (EF) throughout the SiNMs and makes it possible for a membrane to reach its most depleted status, thus efficiently removing the bulk conduction path.
520 $a The four-probe van der Pauw measurements of film conductance are taken inside an ultrahigh vacuum chamber, where the surface condition remains stable and controllable. On Si (111) 7x7 surfaces, we find from the independence of conductance on membrane thickness that we are measuring the surface transport only. The sheet conductance is high, as it is on the microS/&square;scale, which supports the 7x7 surface having metallicity in lateral charge transport, a point which has been debated extensively. Nevertheless, weak semiconductor behavior is still present. For hydrogenated Si (001), which is obtained after hydrogen fluoric acid (HF) treatment, surface Fermi level is found around mid-bandgap based on temperature dependent measurements. No surface Fermi level pinning to closely below the conduction band minimum exists in my HF treated Si (001) NMs.
