Vertical junction photodetectors based on reduced graphene oxide/silicon Schottky diodes.

چکیده
Reduced graphene oxide (RGO) has been employed as an electrode for a series of vertically structured photodetectors. Compared with mechanically exfoliated or chemical vapor deposited graphene, RGO possesses more oxygen containing groups and defects, which are proved to be favorable to enhance the performance of photodetectors. As a matter of fact, RGO with different reduction levels can be readily obtained by varying the annealing temperature. The synthesis procedures for the RGO material are suitable for large scale production and its performance can be effectively improved by functionalization or element doping. For RGO-based devices, the Schottky junction properties and photoelectric conversion have been investigated, primarily by analyzing their current-voltage characteristics. Subsequently, the ON/OFF ratio, responsivity and detectivity of the photodetectors were closely examined, proving that the RGO material could be effectively utilized as the electrode material; also, their relationship with the RGO reduction levels has also been explored. By analyzing the response/recovery speed of the RGO-based photodetectors, we have studied the effects of oxygen-containing functional groups and crystalline defects on the photoelectric conversion.
