Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for forming a semiconductor device having a lateral semiconductor heterojunction involves forming a first metal chalcogenide layer of the lateral semiconductor heterojunction adjacent to a first metal electrode on a substrate. The first metal chalcogenide layer includes a same metal as the first metal electrode and at least some of the first metal chalcogenide layer includes metal from the first metal electrode. A second metal chalcogenide layer of the lateral semiconductor heterojunction is formed adjacent to the first metal chalcogenide layer. A second metal electrode is formed adjacent to the second metal chalcogenide layer. The second metal chalcogenide layer includes a same metal as the second metal electrode.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A diode, comprising: a substrate; a first electrode arranged on the substrate and comprising a first metal; a second electrode arranged on the substrate and comprising a second metal; a lateral semiconductor heterojunction on the substrate between the first and second electrodes, wherein the lateral semiconductor heterojunction comprises laterally arranged first and second layers, and wherein the first layer includes the first metal and the second layer includes the second metal, wherein a portion of the first layer covers a portion of a top surface of the first electrode. 2. The diode of claim 1 , wherein the first electrode directly adjoins the substrate without any intervening material of the first or second layer. 3. The diode of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the first metal in the first layer includes the first metal from the first electrode. 4. The diode of claim 1 , wherein the heterojunction includes an atomically sharp interface between the first and second layers. 5. The diode of claim 1 , wherein the first and second layers are metal chalcogenide layers. 6. The diode of claim 5 , wherein the first or second metal chalcogenide layer is formed from a metal selected from a group consisting of tungsten oxide, tungsten trioxide, tungsten oxytetrachloride, tungsten hexacarbonyl, molybdenum oxide, molybdenum trioxide, molybdenum chloride, molybdenum hexcarbonyl, bismuth telluride, bismuth selenide, bismuth oxide selenium, indium selenide, and gallium selenium; and a chalcogen selected from a group consisting of selenium, hydrogen selenium, sulfide, hydrogen sulfide, dimethyl selenium, dimethyl diselenide, dimethyl sulfide, and dimethyl disulfide.
