The study demonstrates a simple and controlled fabrication method of graphene quantum dot (GQD)-based single-electron transistors (SETs) for photon detectors. The GQD-SETs fabricated enable photon detection with 410 nm excitation due to the photoluminescence emission capability of GQDs.
Single-electron transistors (SETs) represent a new generation of electronic devices with high charge sensitivity, high switching speed, and low power consumption. Here a simple and controlled fabrication of graphene quantum dot (GQD)-based SETs for photon detectors has been demonstrated. The plasma-synthesized GQDs exhibit stable photoluminescence and are successfully used as the Coulomb islands between heteroepitaxial spherical-gold/platinum (HS-Au/Pt) nanogap electrodes. The as-fabricated GQD-SETs enable photon detection with 410 nm excitation owing to the ability of GQDs to generate photoluminescence emission.
