Visible to short wavelength infrared In2Se3-nanoflake photodetector gated by a ferroelectric polymer

摘要

Photodetectors based on two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides have been studied extensively in recent years. However, the detective spectral ranges, dark current and response time are still unsatisfactory, even under high gate and source-drain bias. In this work, the photodetectors of In2Se3 have been fabricated on a ferroelectric field effect transistor structure. Based on this structure, high performance photodetectors have been achieved with a broad photoresponse spectrum (visible to 1550 nm) and quick response (200 mu s). Most importantly, with the intrinsic huge electric field derived from the polarization of ferroelectric polymer (P(VDF-TrFE)) gating, a low dark current of the photodetector can be achieved without additional gate bias. These studies present a crucial step for further practical applications for 2D semiconductors.
