 최신의 반도체 CMOS 기술에서 트랜지스터 소자의 소형화에 따라 소자의 크기가 나노미터 수준으로 줄어들면서 트랜지스터의 소스/드레인 컨택 저항이 소자의 동작전류 개선에 큰 걸림돌로 작용하고 있다. 때문에 CMOS 기술의 지속적인 발전을 위해서는 반도체 소자의 컨택 저항 감소에 대한 연구가 필수적이다. 기존 기술에서는 실리사이드 (silicide) 와 같은 합금형 (alloyed) 컨택을 통해 소자의 컨택 저항을 개선해왔으나, 이는 최신의 finFET 소자에 적용하기에는 여러가지 문제점을 지닌다. 그러므로 비합금형(non-alloyed) 컨택 기술이 차세대 CMOS 기술을 위해 개발되어야 한다. 비합금형 컨택 기술의 개발을 위해서는 반도체의 전기적 컨택의 쇼트키 장벽(Schottky barrier height)을 낮추는 것이 필수적인데, 많은 반도체 물질에서 페르미 레벨 피닝(Fermi-level pinning)이라는 현상으로 인해 반도체 컨택의 쇼트키 장벽을 조절하는 것이 쉽지 않다. 즉, 비합금형 컨택 기술의 개발을 위해서는 반도체의 전기적 컨택의 쇼트키 장벽을 조절하는 기술의 개발이 선행되어야 한다.

본 논문에서는 차세대 반도체 나노소자를 위해 매우 유망한 두 반도체 물질인 저마늄(germanium)과 MoS₂(molybdenum disulfide)의 전기적 컨택에서 쇼트키 장벽을 효과적으로 조절하기 위해 개발된 다양한 기술들을 소개하고자 한다. 페르미 레벨 피닝 현상의 완화와 계면 전기 쌍극자(interface dipole)의 형성을 통해 조절 가능한 쇼트키 장벽의 범위가 큰 폭으로 증가하였고, 페르미 레벨 피닝 현상의 완화를 위해 수 나노미터 수준의 중간층 삽입 및 계면 처리 공정을 개발하였다. 저마늄의 경우 컨택 저항 개선을 위한 전자 쇼트키 장벽의 감소와 비합금형 컨택 구조의 최적화 연구를 중점적으로 수행하였고, MoS₂ 의 경우 MoS₂ 기반 반도체 소자의 다양한 응용을 위해 쇼트키 장벽의 조절 기술을 개발하였다.
