Multilayer MoS2 photodetector with broad spectral range and multiband response - EurekAlert
As a typical two-dimensional material, MoS<sub>2</sub> exhibits unique optical and electrical properties due to its atomic thickness in the vertical dimension, making it a research hotspot in the field of optoelectronic detection. The performance of MoS<sub>2</sub> devices highly depends on their material characteristics, device structures, and fabrication techniques. Therefore, the photodetection characteristics of MoS<sub>2</sub> devices may be determined by various physical effects, which contribute to the development of wideband MoS<sub>2</sub>-based photodetectors. A research team from the school of Electronic Science and Engineering of Southeast University has developed wideband MoS<sub>2</sub> photodetector, covering a range from 410 to 1550 nm. Through a series of electrical and optoelectronic experiments, the paper reveals the working mechanism of the multi-band optical response of the MoS<sub>2</sub> device. Meanwhile, the paper found that the performance of this MoS<sub>2</sub> detector device is closely related to its preparation process engineering through comparative experiments, and under the optimal process, the device has maximum responsivity of 33.75 A W<sup>−1</sup>, and the corresponding detectivity of 6.1×10<sup>11</sup> cm Hz<sup>1/2</sup> W<sup>−1</sup> under the light illumination of 480 nm wavelength.
