Heterogeneous Integration of Flipped Oxide Heterostructure Membranes for Nanoelectronics

ABSTRACT Freestanding complex oxide membranes enable the release and transfer of epitaxial films, offering new design freedoms for next‐generation electronics. While the LaAlO 3 /SrTiO 3 (LAO/STO) heterostructure exhibits remarkable tunable conductivity at its interface, the active interface remains buried beneath the substrate, limiting access to this functionality. Here, we demonstrate how the LAO/STO heterostructure, in membrane form, can be flipped and precisely positioned on silicon and other platforms using polymer‐free micromanipulation. The transferred membranes preserve atomically smooth surfaces, high crystallinity, and key electronic properties. Through the 44‐nm insulating STO layer, ultra‐low‐voltage electron‐beam lithography (ULV‐EBL) writes conductive nanostructures at the now‐accessible STO/LAO interface, offering the potential to function as programmable local gates that modulate charge carriers in the underlying silicon. The platform establishes a general strategy for integrating complex oxide heterostructures with semiconductors, quantum materials, and flexible substrates, enabling new architectures for reprogrammable nanoelectronic devices.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Freestanding complex oxide membranes enable the release and transfer of epitaxial films, offering new design freedoms for next‐generation electronics. While the LaAlO 3 /SrTiO 3 (LAO/STO) heterostructure exhibits remarkable tunable conductivity at its interface, the active interface remains buried beneath the substrate, limiting access to this functionality. Here, we demonstrate how the LAO/STO heterostructure, in membrane form, can be flipped and precisely positioned on silicon and other platforms using polymer‐free micromanipulation. The transferred membranes preserve atomically smooth surfaces, high crystallinity, and key electronic properties. Through the 44‐nm insulating STO layer, ultra‐low‐voltage electron‐beam lithography (ULV‐EBL) writes conductive nanostructures at the now‐accessible STO/LAO interface, offering the potential to function as programmable local gates that modulate charge carriers in the underlying silicon. The platform establishes a general strategy for integrating complex oxide heterostructures with semiconductors, quantum materials, and flexible substrates, enabling new architectures for reprogrammable nanoelectronic devices.
