Show Abstract
Infrared photodetectors based on traditional thin-film semiconductors such as InGaAs, InSb, HgCdTe, Si BIB, and QWIP as well as novel type-II superlattice exhibit highly sensitive detection capability. However, these devices always need to work at low temperature, resulting in an additional large and expensive cooling system. Recently, two dimensional (2D) materials and their van der Waals heterostructures have attracted tremendous attention owing to their optoelectronic tunability and potential optoelectronic applications. Nevertheless, as a photoconductive detector, the signal-to-noise ratio could be very low without the suppression of dark current. Meanwhile, the performance of the photodetectors, which are based on 2D materials and layered van der Waals Heterostructures, including phototransistors, photoconductors with photogating, and photodiodes, is strongly affected by surface/interface and in-plane trap states resulting in the restricted electron-hole separation efficiency and low speed, and intrinsic ultrathin absorption thickness for 2D photodetectors suffers the low quantum efficiency.
Here we report the progress on novel uncooled infrared photodetectors based on 2D materials and their van der Waals heterostructures manipulated by localized fields. We fully exploit the detection ability of 2D materials and their van der Waals heterostructures by introducing localized-field, including ferroelectric filed, vertical heterojunction field, p-n junction photovoltaic field and so forth. With a strong induced localized-field, high performance infrared photodetectors based on Graphene, TMDs, Pd (Pt) Se, Black phosphorus, Black arsenic-phosphorus etc. may lead to a disruptive revolution in prospective low dimensional electronic/optoelectronic devices. Our study opens a new avenue for the controllable fabrication of built-in localized-field in 2D devices, which is a prominent challenge in low dimensional material researches.
