鉴于实验上最新合成的二维半导体材料WSi2N4(WSN)和二维金属材料MoSH(MSH), 构建了金属-半导体MSH/WSN肖特基结. 在实际的金属-半导体接触应用中, 肖特基势垒的存在严重降低了器件的性能. 因此, 获得较小的肖特基势垒甚至是欧姆接触至关重要. 本文使用第一性原理计算研究了在外电场和双轴应变作用下MSH/WSN肖特基结势垒的变化. 计算结果表明, 外电场和双轴应变均可以有效地调控MSH/WSN肖特基结势垒. 正向外电场能实现MSH/WSN肖特基结p型与n型肖特基接触之间的动态转化, 而负向外电场可实现MSH/WSN肖特基结向欧姆接触的转化. 此外, 较大的双轴应变可实现MSH/WSN肖特基结p型与n型肖特基接触的相互转化. 此项工作为基于WSN半导体的肖特基功能器件及场效应晶体管提供理论指导.In view of the newly synthesized two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor material WSi2N4 (WSN) and the 2D metal material MoSH (MSH), a metal-semiconductor MSH/WSN Schottky-junction is constructed in this work. In practical applications of metal-semiconductor contact, the presence of the Schottky barrier degrades the device performance severely. Therefore, it is crucial to obtain a smaller Schottky barrier height or even an Ohmic contact. Here, the first-principles calculations are used to investigate the variation of the Schottky barrier in MSH/WSN Schottky-junction under an external electric field and a biaxial strain. The results show that both external electric field and biaxial strain can effectively modulate the Schottky barrier of the MSH/WSN Schottky-junction. The dynamic switching between the p-type Schottky contact and the n-type Schottky contact can be achieved under the action of positive external electric field in the MSH/WSN Schottky-junction. Under the action of negative external electric field, the MSH/WSN Schottky-junction can be modulated to realize the transition from the Schottky contact to the Ohmic contact. The large biaxial strain can also induce the MSH/WSN Schottky-junction to realize the transition between the p-type Schottky contact and the n-type Schottky contact. This work may provide theoretical guidance for the WSN semiconductor based Schottky functional devices and field-effect transistors.
