Fast-Response Metal-Semiconductor-Metal Junction Ultraviolet Photodetector Based on ZnS:Mn Nanorod Networks via a Cost-Effective Method.

ABSTRACT: In this work, Mn2+-doped ZnS nanorods were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method. The morphology, structure, and composition of the as-prepared samples were investigated. The temperature-dependent photoluminescence of ZnS:Mn nanorods was analyzed, and the corresponding activation energies were calculated by using a simple two-step rate equation. Mn2+-related orange emission (4T1 → 6A1) demonstrates high stability and is comparatively less affected by the temperature variations than the defect-related emission. A metal-semiconductor-metal junction ultraviolet photodetector based on the nanorod networks has been fabricated by a cost-effective method. The device exhibits visible blindness, superior ultraviolet photodetection with a responsivity of 1.62 A/W, and significantly fast photodetection response with the rise and decay times of 12 and 25 ms, respectively.

Van der Waals metal-semiconductor junction: Weak Fermi level pinning enables effective tuning of Schottky barrier.

Project description:Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have shown great potential for electronic and optoelectronic applications. However, their development is limited by a large Schottky barrier (SB) at the metal-semiconductor junction (MSJ), which is difficult to tune by using conventional metals because of the effect of strong Fermi level pinning (FLP). We show that this problem can be overcome by using 2D metals, which are bounded with 2D semiconductors through van der Waals (vdW) interactions. This success relies on a weak FLP at the vdW MSJ, which is attributed to the suppression of metal-induced gap states. Consequently, the SB becomes tunable and can vanish with proper 2D metals (for example, H-NbS2). This work not only offers new insights into the fundamental properties of heterojunctions but also uncovers the great potential of 2D metals for device applications.

Effective Mn-Doping in AgInS₂/ZnS Core/Shell Nanocrystals for Dual Photoluminescent Peaks.

Project description:We developed the effective Mn-doping procedure for AgInS₂(AIS)/ZnS core/shell nanocrystals (NCs) to exhibit dual photoluminescence (PL) peaks. Although the AIS/ZnS core/shell NCs showed solely a single PL peak at ~530 nm, incorporation of a small amount of Mn as a dopant within the AIS/ZnS NCs resulted in the simultaneous emergence of dual PL peaks at ~500 nm (green PL) arising from AIS/ZnS NCs and ~600 nm (orange PL) from the Mn dopants. Furthermore, we succeeded in significantly increasing the absolute PL quantum yield value of dual emissive AIS/ZnS NCs incorporated with Mn dopants from 10% to 34% after surface passivation with another ZnS shell for the formation of core/shell/shell structures.

Stable Organic Radical for Enhancing Metal-Monolayer-Semiconductor Junction Performance.

Project description:The preparation of monolayers based on an organic radical and its diamagnetic counterpart has been pursued on hydrogen-terminated silicon surfaces. The functional monolayers have been investigated as solid-state metal/monolayer/semiconductor (MmS) junctions showing a characteristic diode behavior which is tuned by the electronic characteristics of the organic molecule. The eutectic gallium-indium liquid metal is used as a top electrode to perform the transport measurements and the results clearly indicate that the SOMO-SUMO molecular orbitals impact the device performance. The junction incorporating the radical shows an almost two orders of magnitude higher rectification ratio (R(|J1V/J-1V|) = 104.04) in comparison with the nonradical one (R(|J1V/J-1V|) = 102.30). The high stability of the fabricated MmS allows the system to be interrogated under irradiation, evidencing that at the wavelength where the photon energy is close to the band gap of the radical there is a clear enhancement of the photoresponse. This is translated into an increase of the photosensitivity (Sph) value from 68.7 to 269.0 mA/W for the nonradical and radical based systems, respectively.

Highly-Sensitive Thin Film THz Detector Based on Edge Metal-Semiconductor-Metal Junction.

Project description:Terahertz (THz) detectors have been extensively studied for various applications such as security, wireless communication, and medical imaging. In case of metal-insulator-metal (MIM) tunnel junction THz detector, a small junction area is desirable because the detector response time can be shortened by reducing it. An edge metal-semiconductor-metal (EMSM) junction has been developed with a small junction area controlled precisely by the thicknesses of metal and semiconductor films. The voltage response of the EMSM THz detector shows the clear dependence on the polarization angle of incident THz wave and the responsivity is found to be very high (~2,169 V/W) at 0.4?THz without any antenna and signal amplifier. The EMSM junction structure can be a new and efficient way of fabricating the nonlinear device THz detector with high cut-off frequency relying on extremely small junction area.

On-Chip Monolithically Integrated Ultraviolet Low-Threshold Plasmonic Metal-Semiconductor Heterojunction Nanolasers.

Project description:The metal-semiconductor heterojunction is imperative for the realization of electrically driven nanolasers for chip-level platforms. Progress in developing such nanolasers has hitherto rarely been realized, however, because of their complexity in heterojunction fabrication and the need to use noble metals that are incompatible with microelectronic manufacturing. Most plasmonic nanolasers lase either above a high threshold (101 -103 MW cm-2 ) or at a cryogenic temperature, and lasing is possible only after they are removed from the substrate to avoid the large ohmic loss and the low modal reflectivity, making monolithic fabrication impossible. Here, for the first time, record-low-threshold, room-temperature ultraviolet (UV) lasing of plasmon-coupled core-shell nanowires that are directly grown on silicon is demonstrated. The naturally formed core-shell metal-semiconductor heterostructure of the nanowires leads to a 100-fold improvement in growth density over previous results. This unprecedentedly high nanowire density creates intense plasmonic resonance, which is outcoupled to the resonant Fabry-Pérot microcavity. By boosting the emission strength by a factor of 100, the hybrid photonic-plasmonic system successfully facilitates a record-low laser threshold of 12 kW cm-2 with a spontaneous emission coupling factor as high as ≈0.32 in the 340-360 nm range. Such architecture is simple and cost-competitive for future UV sources in silicon integration.

Wide-spectrum polarization-sensitive and fast-response photodetector based on 2D group IV-VI semiconductor tin selenide.

Project description:Tin selenide (SnSe) has attracted considerable interest recently on account of its low-symmetry lattice structure, great compatibility with key semiconductor technology, and remarkable electrical and optical performance. SnSe-based polarization-sensitive photodetectors show promising application prospects because of their fast response and excellent photoelectric performance. Here, an in-plane anisotropic SnSe nanosheet was synthesized and reported in detail by applying angle-resolved polarized Raman spectroscopy (ARPRS), polarization-resolved optical microscopy(PROM), angle-resolved optical absorption spectroscopy (AROAS), and other crystal structure characterization methods. Moreover, SnSe crystals exhibit superior polarization detection performance with a high anisotropic photocurrent ratio (2.31 at 1064 nm) due to the structure formed by the Van der Waals superposition of covalently bonded atomic layers. Furthermore, SnSe-based photodetectors have high responsivity (9.27 A/W), high detectivity (4.08 × 1010 Jones), and fast response (in the order of nanoseconds). These results suggest a new method for fabricating 2D fast-response polarization-sensitive photodetectors in the future.

Fast Semiconductor-Metal Bidirectional Transition by Flame Chemical Vapor Deposition.

Project description:A simple yet powerful flame chemical vapor deposition technique is proposed that allows free control of the surface morphology, microstructure, and composition of existing materials with regard to various functionalities within a short process time (in seconds) at room temperature and atmospheric pressure as per the requirement. Since the heat energy is directly transferred to the material surface, the redox periodically converges to the energy dynamic equilibrium depending on the energy injection time; therefore, bidirectional transition between the semiconductor/metal is optionally available. To demonstrate this, a variety of Sn-based particles were created on preformed SnO2 nanowires, and this has been interpreted as a new mechanism for the response and response times of gas-sensing, which are representative indicators of the most surface-sensitive applications and show one-to-one correspondence between theoretical and experimental results. The detailed technologies derived herein are clearly influential in both research and industry.

Here we demonstrated an improved photodetector based on solution-processing organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite CH3NH3PbI3-xClx layer decorated with CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots. The CH3NH3PbI3-xClx-CsPbBr3 photodetector was operated in a visible light region, which appeared high responsivity (R = 0.39 A/W), detectivity (D* = 5.43 × 109 Jones), carrier mobility (?p = 172?cm2?V-1 s-1 and ?n = 216?cm2?V-1 s-1), and fast response (rise time 121??s and fall time 107??s). The CH3NH3PbI3-xClx-CsPbBr3 heterostructure is anticipated to find comprehensive applications in future high-performance photoelectronic devices.

An Internal-Electrostatic-Field-Boosted Self-Powered Ultraviolet Photodetector.

Project description:Self-powered photodetectors are of significance for the development of low-energy-consumption and environment-friendly Internet of Things. The performance of semiconductor-based self-powered photodetectors is limited by the low quality of junctions. Here, a novel strategy was proposed for developing high-performance self-powered photodetectors with boosted electrostatic potential. The proposed self-powered ultraviolet (UV) photodetector consisted of an indium tin oxide and titanium dioxide (ITO/TiO2) heterojunction and an electret film (poly tetra fluoroethylene, PTFE). The PTFE layer introduces a built-in electrostatic field to highly enhance the photovoltaic effect, and its high internal resistance greatly reduces the dark current, and thus remarkable performances were achieved. The self-powered UV photodetector with PTFE demonstrated an extremely high on-off ratio of 2.49 × 105, a responsivity of 76.87 mA/W, a response rise time of 7.44 ms, and a decay time of 3.75 ms. Furthermore, the device exhibited exceptional stability from room temperature to 70 °C. Compared with the conventional ITO/TiO2 heterojunction without the PTFE layer, the photoresponse of the detector improved by 442-fold, and the light-dark ratio was increased by 8.40 × 105 times. In addition, the detector is simple, easy to fabricate, and low cost. Therefore, it can be used on a large scale. The electrostatic modulation effect is universal for various types of semiconductor junctions and is expected to inspire more innovative applications in optoelectronic and microelectronic devices.
