| Abstract: |
Black phosphorus(b-P) is a new member of 2D materials for field effect transistor(FET) application due to its atomic monolayer structure and high electron/hole mobility. The FET application requires the knowledge of b-P interface with high-k oxide and metal electrodes. In this work, the band offsets for gate insulators such as HfO2 on black phosphorus (b-P) are calculated using density functional theory(DFT). It is confirmed that HfO2 can provide good band alignment for both conduction and valence band. The Schottky barrier heights(SBH) are also calculated for the monolayer and bulk using the supercell model, for the perfect interface with no defects in the b-P. A strong p-type Fermi level pinning has been observed due to strong metal-P bonding. |
