Synthesis and Deposition of Silver Nanowires on Porous Silicon as an Ultraviolet Light Photodetector

Anas A. M. Alqanoo et al.

Summary: The applications of silver nanowires (AgNWs) depend on their purity and morphology. In this study, the morphological changes of AgNWs during growth were tracked to determine the optimal reaction time and temperature. UV-Vis absorption spectra were used to investigate the relationship between reaction time and temperature. An equation was developed to calculate reaction time at any given reaction temperature. The average diameter of the AgNWs was found to be temperature-dependent, with the minimum value observed at a reaction temperature of 150°C. A purification technique was conducted to remove by-products, and an AgNWs-based porous Si device was fabricated and showed high sensitivity and detectivity.

Ultrabroadband Imaging Based on Wafer-Scale Tellurene

Jianting Lu et al.

Summary: High-resolution imaging is crucial for intelligent technologies and is important for extracting and storing high-sensitivity information. However, the development of ultrabroadband imaging is hindered by the incompatibility between non-silicon optoelectronic materials and traditional integrated circuits, as well as the lack of competent photosensitive semiconductors in the infrared region. In this study, wafer-scale tellurene photoelectric functional units are monolithically integrated through room-temperature pulsed-laser deposition. The tellurene photodetectors demonstrate wide-spectrum photoresponse and unprecedented photosensitivity, enabling the realization of ultrabroadband imager and high-resolution photoelectric imaging.

Anti-ambipolar and polarization-resolved behavior in MoTe2 channel sensitized with low-symmetric CrOCl

Sina Li et al.

Summary: Researchers have designed a vdW heterojunction device using low-symmetric CrOCl, which exhibits stable anti-ambipolar behavior and polarization-sensitive photodetection. The anti-ambipolar transport behavior in a MoTe2 channel is observed due to the gate-tunable band bending and charge transfer at the MoTe2/CrOCl interface. The device shows good photodetection performance with a responsivity of 1.05 A/W and a temporal response of 970 μs. With the anisotropic CrOCl as a photosensitizing layer, the device achieves polarization-sensitive photodetection with a photocurrent dichroic ratio of up to 6. This work provides a valid device model and design strategy for versatile optoelectronics, including anti-ambipolar transistors and polarimetric photodetectors.

Ballistic two-dimensional InSe transistors

Jianfeng Jiang et al.

Summary: The IRDS predicts that the scaling of silicon-based MOSFETs will stop at 12 nm and the ultimate supply voltage will not decrease to less than 0.6 V. Two-dimensional indium selenide (InSe) has been explored as a potential channel material for further miniaturization of electronic devices, but no 2D semiconductor-based FETs have shown better performance than silicon FETs. In this study, a FET with 2D InSe as the channel material is reported, operating at 0.5 V with record high transconductance and surpassing the performance of silicon FETs. Yttrium-doping-induced phase-transition method is developed for making ohmic contacts with InSe and the InSe FET is scaled down to 10 nm in channel length. Low subthreshold swing and drain-induced barrier lowering are achieved in the InSe FETs, as well as low contact resistance and smaller energy-delay product than predicted for silicon.

Summary: This study reports the optoelectronic characterization of few-layer ReSe2 field effect transistors at different pressures. The devices exhibit a dominant n-type behavior with low Schottky barrier and significant hysteresis. The conductance and mobility of the devices are affected by air pressure, increasing with lower pressure due to the desorption of electronegative air molecules. The photoresponse of the device changes from positive photoconductivity at higher pressure to negative photoconductivity at lower pressure, which can be explained by the desorption of molecules and the defect trapping of photogenerated carriers.

High-responsivity PtSe2 photodetector enhanced by photogating effect

Yajie Yang et al.

Summary: A high-responsivity PtSe2 photodetector (5x10(4) A/W) was achieved through the photogating effect induced by hole-trapping states attributed to Se vacancies. Additionally, a gate-tunable transition between positive and negative photoconductances was observed under light illumination. Theoretical calculations based on the Boltzmann transport theory were used to explain the carrier transport of PtSe2, taking into account the contributions of charged impurity, acoustic phonon, and polar optical phonon scattering.
