Abstract:
Polarized light detection can effectively identify the difference between the polarization information on the target and the background, which is of great significance for detection in complex natural environments and/or extreme weather. Generally, polarized light detection inevitably relies on anisotropic structures of photodetector devices, while organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites are ideal for anisotropic patterning due to their simple and efficient preparation by solution method. Compared to patterned thin films, patterned arrays of aligned one-dimensional (1D) perovskite nanowires (PNWAs) have fewer grain boundaries and lower defect densities, making them well suited for high-performance polarization-sensitive photodetectors. Here, we fabricated PNWAs crystallographically aligned with variable line widths and alignment densities employing CD-ROM and DVD-ROM grating pattern template-confined growth (TCG) methods. The photodetectors constructed from MAPbI3 PNWAs achieved responsivity of 35.01 A/W, detectivity of 6.85 × 1013 Jones, and fast response with a rise time of 172 μs and fall time of 114 μs. They were successfully applied to high-performance polarization detection with a polarization ratio of 1.81, potentially applicable in polarized light detection systems.Keywords:

A Schottky UV photodetector based on graphene/ZnO:Al nanorod-array-film (AZNF) structure has been fabricated. Different from the previously reported graphene/ZnO photodetectors, this photodetector has a stable Schottky barrier which does not disappear under UV light. Thus, the UV photodetector can work as a high-performance self-powered device. The key to improve the stability of the Schottky barrier is a two-step surface treatment process. As a result, the self-powered photodetector exhibits a UV-to-visible rejection ratio of about 1 × 102, a responsivity of 0.039 A W1-, a short rise time of 37 μs, and a decay time of 330 μs. Furthermore, the photodetector is able to keep the responsivity under low light conditions. In comparison with the previously reported graphene/ZnO UV photodetectors, the photodetector exhibits a higher responsivity at zero bias and a faster response speed. This study provides a potential way to fabricate high-performance self-powered UV photodetectors.

To increase the responsivity is one of the vital issues for a photodetector. By employing ZnO as a representative material of ultraviolet photodetectors and Si as a representative material of visible photodetectors, an impact ionization process, in which additional carriers can be generated in an insulating layer at a relatively large electric field, has been employed to increase the responsivity of a semiconductor photodetector. It is found that the responsivity of the photodetectors can be enhanced by tens of times via this impact ionization process. The results reported in this paper provide a general route to enhance the responsivity of a photodetector, thus may represent a step towards high-performance photodetectors.

Herein, a high‐performance room‐temperature extended‐wavelength InAs‐based barrier‐type photodetector that operates in the 1.5–3.5 μm wavelength range is presented. The experimental results show that the uncooled photodetector exhibits a peak responsivity of 1.47 A W −1 at 3 μm and a peak detectivity as high as 1.6 × 10 10 cm Hz 1/2 W −1 at zero bias, which is 3–10 times higher than that of available commercial InAs photodetectors. The external quantum efficiency at the peak responsivity is ≈63%. The nature of the detector's extended spectral response is investigated using numerical computation analyses, which indicate that such improvement is primarily contributed by the InAsSbP window layer.

Herein, a new heterostructured ultraviolet metal–semiconductor–metal photodetector based on Mg 0.67 Ni 0.33 O thin film and SrTiO 3 is reported. The metal–semiconductor–metal photodetector comprises a 22 nm epilayer of Mg 0.67 Ni 0.33 O grown on SrTiO 3 (111) substrate by molecular beam epitaxy. A comparison of responsivities of the Mg 0.67 Ni 0.33 O–SrTiO 3 photodetector and reference SrTiO 3 photodetector shows that the heterostructured detector has close to an order of magnitude enhanced responsivity in the deep‐ultraviolet region. The responsivity of the Mg 0.67 Ni 0.33 –SrTiO 3 ‐based photodetector at 320 nm is 415 mA W −1 , with dark current lower than 40 pA at a bias of 10 V. The rise and fall times of Mg 0.67 Ni 0.33 O–SrTiO 3 photodetector are 10.7 and 8.6 ms, respectively, with the rise time more than two orders of magnitude shorter than the reference SrTiO 3 photodetector.

This work reports on quantum dots (QDs) in perovskite photodetectors showing high optoelectronic performance via quantum-dot-assisted charge transmission. The self-powered broad-band photodetector constructed with SnS QDs in FAPb0.5Sn0.5I3 perovskite can capture incoming optical signals directly at zero bias. The QDs-in-perovskite photodetector exhibits a high sensitivity in the wavelength range from 300 to 1000 nm. Its responsivity at 850 nm reaches 521.7 mA W–1, and a high specific detectivity of 2.57 × 1012 jones can be achieved, which is well beyond the level of previous self-powered broad-band photodetectors. The capability of quantum-dot-in-perovskite photodetectors as data receivers has been further demonstrated in a visible-light communication application.

The rising demand for optoelectronic devices to be operable in adverse environments necessitates the sensing of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Here, a self‐driven, highly sensitive, fast responding GaN nanoflower based UV photodetector is reported. By developing unique structures, the light absorption increases efficiently and a maximum responsivity of 10.5 A W −1 is achieved at 1 V bias. The reported responsivity is the highest among the GaN UV photodetectors on Si substrates and commercially available Si‐based UV photodetectors. Under self‐driven condition, the photodetector exhibits very low dark current (≈nA) with a very high responsivity (132 mA W −1 ) and detectivity (2.4 × 10 10 Jones). A remarkably high light‐to‐dark current ratio of ≈260 signifies extremely high photodetection gain compared to planar GaN‐based photodetectors. The self‐driven and biased photodetector device yields highly stable rise and decay time response. A model based on band theory elucidates the origin of self‐driven photodetectors. Implementation of the innovative growth design structures assures an exceptionally high sensitivity toward UV signal, which is capable of substituting the existing technology of UV photodetectors. High responsivity and detectivity from devices based on the GaN nanoflower‐like structure with the advantage of high surface/volume ratio can have numerous applications in fabrication of nanoscale optoelectronic high performance devices such as self‐driven UV photodetectors.

Metal-semiconductor-metal structured ultraviolet (UV) photodetector has been fabricated from zinc oxide films. The responsivity of the photodetector can reach 26 000 A/W at 8 V bias, which is the highest value ever reported for a semiconductor ultraviolet photodetector. The origin of the high responsivity has been attributed to the carrier-trapping process occurred in the metal-semiconductor interface, which has been confirmed by the asymmetric barrier height at the two sides of the metal-semiconductor interdigital electrodes. The results reported in this paper provide a way to high responsivity UV photodetectors, which thus may address a step toward future applications of UV photodetectors.

Photoresponsivity is a fundamental parameter used to quantify the ability of photoelectric conversion of a photodetector device. High-responsivity photodetectors are essential for numerous optoelectronic applications. Due to the strong light-matter interactions and the high carrier mobility, two-dimensional (2D) materials are promising candidates for the next-generation photodetectors. However, poor light absorption, lack of photoconductive gain, and the interfacial recombination lead to the relatively low responsivity of 2D photodetectors. The photogating effect, which extends the lifetime of photoexcited carriers, provides a simple approach to enhance responsivity in photodetector devices. Here, the O2 plasma treatment introduced surface traps on the SnS2 surface, leading to a gate-tunable photogating effect in SnS2/MoS2 heterojunctions. The heterojunction device exhibits an ultrahigh responsibility of up to 28 A/W. Moreover, the photodetector possesses a wide spectral photoresponse spanning from 300 to 1100 nm and a high specific detectivity (D*) of 4 × 1011 Jones under a 532 nm laser at VDS = 1 V. These results demonstrate that O2 plasma treatment is an efficient and simple avenue to achieve photogating effects, which can be employed to enhance the performance of van der Waals heterostructure photodetector devices and make them suitable for future integration into advanced electronic and optoelectronic systems.
