Abstract
Emerging colloidal quantum dot (cQD) photodetectors currently challenge established state-of-the-art infrared photodetectors in response speed, spectral tunability, simplicity of solution processable fabrication, and integration onto curved or flexible substrates. Hybrid phototransistors based on 2D materials and cQDs, in particular, are promising due to their inherent photogain, enabling direct photosignal enhancement. The photogain is sensitive to both measurement conditions and photodetector geometry. This makes the cross-comparison of devices reported in the literature rather involved. Here, the effect of device length L and width W scaling to subwavelength dimensions (sizes down to 500 nm) on the photoresponse of graphene-PbS cQD phototransistors was experimentally investigated. Photogain and responsivity were found to scale with 1/LW, whereas the photocurrent and specific detectivity were independent of geometrical parameters. The measurements were performed under scaled bias voltage conditions for comparable currents. Contact effects were found to limit the photoresponse for devices with L < 3 μm. The relation of gate voltage, bias current, light intensity, and frequency on the photoresponse was investigated in detail, and a photogating efficiency to assess the cQD-graphene interface is presented. In particular, the specific detectivity values in the range between 10⁸ and 10⁹ Jones (wavelength of 1550 nm, frequency 6 Hz, room temperature) were found to be limited by the charge transfer across the photoactive interface.
