Enhanced responsivity and detectivity of fast WSe₂ phototransistor using electrostatically tunable in-plane lateral p-n homojunction.

ABSTRACT: Layered transition metal dichalcogenides have shown tremendous potential for photodetection due to their non-zero direct bandgaps, high light absorption coefficients and carrier mobilities, and ability to form atomically sharp and defect-free heterointerfaces. A critical and fundamental bottleneck in the realization of high performance detectors is their trap-dependent photoresponse that trades off responsivity with speed. This work demonstrates a facile method of attenuating this trade-off by nearly 2x through integration of a lateral, in-plane, electrostatically tunable p-n homojunction with a conventional WSe₂ phototransistor. The tunable p-n junction allows modulation of the photocarrier population and width of the conducting channel independently from the phototransistor. Increased illumination current with the lateral p-n junction helps achieve responsivity enhancement upto 2.4x at nearly the same switching speed (14-16 µs) over a wide range of laser power (300 pW-33 nW). The added benefit of reduced dark current enhances specific detectivity (D*) by nearly 25x to yield a maximum measured flicker noise-limited D* of 1.1×10¹² Jones. High responsivity of 170 A/W at 300 pW laser power along with the ability to detect sub-1 pW laser switching are demonstrated.

Gate-Tunable Magnetism via Resonant Se-Vacancy Levels in WSe2.

Project description:The confined defects in 2D van der Waals (vdW)-layered semiconductors can be easily tailored using charge doping, strain, or an electric field. Nevertheless, gate-tunable magnetic order via intrinsic defects has been rarely observed to date. Herein, a gate-tunable magnetic order via resonant Se vacancies in WSe2 is demonstrated. The Se-vacancy states are probed via photocurrent measurements with gating to convert unoccupied states to partially occupied states associated with photo-excited carrier recombination. The magneto-photoresistance hysteresis is modulated by gating, which is consistent with the density functional calculations. The two energy levels associated with Se vacancies split with increasing laser power, owing to the robust Coulomb interaction and strong spin-orbit coupling. The findings offer a new approach for controlling the magnetic properties of defects in optoelectronic and spintronic devices using vdW-layered semiconductors.

Ultrasensitive all-2D MoS2 phototransistors enabled by an out-of-plane MoS2 PN homojunction.

Project description:Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide-based photodetectors have demonstrated potential for the next generation of 2-dimensional optoelectronics. However, to date, their sensitivity has not been superior to that of other technologies. Here we report an ultrasensitive two-dimensional photodetector employing an in-plane phototransistor with an out-of-plane vertical MoS2 p-n junction as a sensitizing scheme. The vertical built-in field is introduced for the first time in the transport channel of MoS2 phototransistors by facile chemical surface doping, which separates the photo-excited carriers efficiently and produces a photoconductive gain of >105 electrons per photon, external quantum efficiency greater than 10%, responsivity of 7?×?104?A?W-1, and a time response on the order of tens of ms. This taken together with a very low noise power density yields a record sensitivity with specific detectivity [Formula: see text] of 3.5?×?1014 Jones in the visible and a broadband response up to 1000?nm.Photodetectors based on 2D transition metal dichalcogenides exhibit ever increasingly competitive performance, yet not superior to that of alternative technologies. Here, the authors devise a MoS2-based phototransistor with an out-of-plane junction, yielding a record detectivity combined with broadband response.

High-Responsivity Multilayer MoSe2 Phototransistors with Fast Response Time.

Project description:There is a great interest in phototransistors based on transition metal dichalcogenides because of their interesting optoelectronic properties. However, most emphasis has been put on MoS2 and little attention has been given to MoSe2, which has higher optical absorbance. Here, we present a compelling case for multilayer MoSe2 phototransistors fabricated in a bottom-gate thin-film transistor configuration on SiO2/Si substrates. Under 650-nm-laser, our MoSe2 phototransistor exhibited the best performance among MoSe2 phototransistors in literature, including the highest responsivity (1.4?×?105 AW-1), the highest specific detectivity (5.5?×?1013 jones), and the fastest response time (1.7?ms). We also present a qualitative model to describe the device operation based on the combination of photoconductive and photogating effects. These results demonstrate the feasibility of achieving high performance in multilayer MoSe2 phototransistors, suggesting the possibility of further enhancement in the performance of MoSe2 phototransistors with proper device engineering.

A vertical WSe2-MoSe2 p-n heterostructure with tunable gate rectification.

Project description:Here, we report the synthesis of a vertical MoSe2/WSe2 p-n heterostructure using a sputtering-CVD method. Unlike the conventional CVD method, this method produced a continuous MoSe2/WSe2 p-n heterostructure. WSe2 and MoSe2 back-gated field effect transistors (FETs) exhibited good gate modulation behavior, and high hole and electron mobilities of ∼2.2 and ∼15.1 cm2 V-1 s-1, respectively. The fabricated vertical MoSe2/WSe2 p-n diode showed rectifying I-V behavior with back-gate tunability. The rectification ratio of the diode was increased with increasing gate voltage, and was increased from ∼18 to ∼1600 as the gate bias increased from -40 V to +40 V. This is attributed to the fact that the barrier height between p-WSe2 and n-MoSe2 is modulated due to the back-gate bias. The rectification ratio is higher than the previously reported values for the TMDC p-n heterostructure grown by CVD.

Ultrahigh Responsivity and Detectivity Graphene-Perovskite Hybrid Phototransistors by Sequential Vapor Deposition.

Project description:In this work, graphene-methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) perovskite hybrid phototransistors fabricated by sequential vapor deposition are demonstrated. Ultrahigh responsivity of 1.73 × 107 A W-1 and detectivity of 2 × 1015 Jones are achieved, with extremely high effective quantum efficiencies of about 108% in the visible range (450-700 nm). This excellent performance is attributed to the ultra-flat perovskite films grown by vapor deposition on the graphene sheets. The hybrid structure of graphene covered with uniform perovskite has high exciton separation ability under light exposure, and thus efficiently generates photocurrents. This paper presents photoluminescence (PL) images along with statistical analysis used to study the photo-induced exciton behavior. Both uniform and dramatic PL intensity quenching has been observed over entire measured regions, consistently demonstrating excellent exciton separation in the devices.

Band-like transport in small-molecule thin films toward high mobility and ultrahigh detectivity phototransistor arrays.

Project description:With the fast development of organic electronics, organic semiconductors have been extensively studied for various optoelectronic applications, among which organic phototransistors recently emerged as one of the most promising light signal detectors. However, it is still a big challenge to endow organic phototransistors with both high mobility and high light-sensitivity because the low mobility of most organic photoresponsive materials limits the efficiency of transporting and collecting charge carriers. We herein report band-like charge transport in vacuum-deposited small-molecule thin films for organic phototransistor arrays which can be operated at very low dark currents (~10-12?A). Both high mobility and excellent optical figures of merit including photosensitivity, photoresponsivity and detectivity are achieved, wherein, unprecedentedly, a detectivity greater than 1017?cm?Hz1/2?W-1 is obtained. All these key parameters are superior to state-of-the-art organic phototransistors, implying a great potential in optoelectronic applications.

Aluminum Plasmonics Enriched Ultraviolet GaN Photodetector with Ultrahigh Responsivity, Detectivity, and Broad Bandwidth.

Project description:Plasmonics have been well investigated on photodetectors, particularly in IR and visible regimes. However, for a wide range of ultraviolet (UV) applications, plasmonics remain unavailable mainly because of the constrained optical properties of applicable plasmonic materials in the UV regime. Therefore, an epitaxial single-crystalline aluminum (Al) film, an abundant metal with high plasma frequency and low intrinsic loss is fabricated, on a wide bandgap semiconductive gallium nitride (GaN) to form a UV photodetector. By deliberately designing a periodic nanohole array in this Al film, localized surface plasmon resonance and extraordinary transmission are enabled; hence, the maximum responsivity (670 A W-1) and highest detectivity (1.48 × 1015 cm Hz1/2 W-1) is obtained at the resonance wavelength of 355 nm. In addition, owing to coupling among nanoholes, the bandwidth expands substantially, encompassing the entire UV range. Finally, a Schottky contact is formed between the single-crystalline Al nanohole array and the GaN substrate, resulting in a fast temporal response with a rise time of 51 ms and a fall time of 197 ms. To the best knowledge, the presented detectivity is the highest compared with those of other reported GaN photodetectors.

Interface-Induced WSe2 In-plane Homojunction for High-Performance Photodetection.

Project description:2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have been extensively attractive for nano-electronics and nano-optoelectronics due to their unique properties. Especially, WSe2, having bipolar carrier transport ability and sizable bandgap, is a promising candidate for future photodetectors. Here, we report an in-plane WSe2 homojunction formed by the interface gate of the substrate. In this architecture, an insulated h-BN flake was used to make only part of WSe2 flake contact substrate directly. Finally, the structures of WSe2/substrate and WSe2/h-BN/substrate construct an in-plane homojunction. Interestingly, the device can operate in both photovoltaic and photoconductive modes at different biases. As a result, a responsivity of 1.07 A W-1 with a superior detectivity of over 1012 jones and a fast response time of 106 μs are obtained simultaneously. Compared with previously reported methods adopted by chemical doping or electrostatic gating with extra bias voltages, our design provides a more facile and efficient way for the development of high-performance WSe2-based photodetectors.

Ultrahigh Responsivity-Bandwidth Product in a Compact InP Nanopillar Phototransistor Directly Grown on Silicon.

Project description:Highly sensitive and fast photodetectors can enable low power, high bandwidth on-chip optical interconnects for silicon integrated electronics. III-V compound semiconductor direct-bandgap materials with high absorption coefficients are particularly promising for photodetection in energy-efficient optical links because of the potential to scale down the absorber size, and the resulting capacitance and dark current, while maintaining high quantum efficiency. We demonstrate a compact bipolar junction phototransistor with a high current gain (53.6), bandwidth (7 GHz) and responsivity (9.5 A/W) using a single crystalline indium phosphide nanopillar directly grown on a silicon substrate. Transistor gain is obtained at sub-picowatt optical power and collector bias close to the CMOS line voltage. The quantum efficiency-bandwidth product of 105 GHz is the highest for photodetectors on silicon. The bipolar junction phototransistor combines the receiver front end circuit and absorber into a monolithic integrated device, eliminating the wire capacitance between the detector and first amplifier stage.
