  • 二硒化铂(PtSe2)因带隙可调、高载流子迁移率与环境稳定性,被视为后摩尔时代高性能微电子器件的核心候选材料。然而,PtSe2表面动力学过程复杂,且Pt基氧化/卤化反应产物呈非挥发性,使得高分辨图案化难以同时实现无残留与低界面损伤,成为制约器件高密度集成的关键瓶颈。本文结合实验表征与密度泛函理论(DFT)计算,提出一种创新的“氧化介导物理溅射”(Oxidation-Mediated Physical Sputtering,OMPS)方法。该方法从物理机制上突破了传统原子层刻蚀(ALE)对产物挥发性的依赖,通过解耦“晶格氧化重构”与“物理溅射去除”两个过程,有效克服了非挥发性残留难以去除难题。首先通过氧化处理调控表面键合特性以诱导晶格软化,将原本化学惰性的PtSe2晶格结构原位重构为结构亚稳定的“牺牲氧化层”,进而利用低能Ar离子溅射实现低损伤、高选择性的物理去除。基于OMPS,实现了PtSe2的纳米图案化,最小线宽约20 nm,且兼具原子级洁净界面以及优异的光刻胶兼容性。该创新方法为处理“非挥发性刻蚀产物”这一难题提供了一种有效的解决思路,也为PtSe2等二维半导体器件的高密度集成奠定了坚实的工艺基础。

    Platinum diselenide (PtSe2) is regarded as a core candidate material for high-performance microelectronic devices in the post-Moore era due to its tunable bandgap, high carrier mobility, and environmental stability. However, the complex surface dynamic processes of PtSe2, particularly the non-volatility of Pt-based oxidation/halogenation products, poses a significant challenge. Achieving high-resolution patterning that is simultaneously residue-free and causes low interface damage remains a critical bottleneck restricting high-density integration. In this study, combining experimental characterization with Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations, we report an innovative Oxidation-Mediated Physical Sputtering (OMPS) strategy. This strategy overcomes the dependence of traditional Atomic Layer Etching (ALE) on product volatility by decoupling the processes of lattice oxidation reconstruction and physical sputtering removal. Specifically, we modulate surface bonding characteristics via oxidation to induce lattice softening, thereby in-situ reconstructing the chemically inert PtSe2 lattice structure into a structurally metastable sacrificial oxide layer. Subsequently, low-energy Ar ion sputtering is applied to achieve low-damage, highly selective physical removal. Based on OMPS, we achieved high-resolution nanopatterning of PtSe2 with a minimum linewidth of approximately 20 nm, featuring atomically clean interfaces and excellent compatibility with photoresists. The proposed innovative strategy offers a viable solution to the long-standing hurdle of non-volatile etching byproducts and lays a solid process foundation for the scalable and high-density integration of PtSe2 and other two-dimensional materials.
