Graphene/SOI-based self-powered Schottky barrier photodiode array

Abstract

We have fabricated 4-element Graphene/Silicon on Insulator (SOI) based Schottky barrier photodiode array ()PDA and investigated its optoelectronic device performance. In our device design, monolayer graphene is utilized as common electrode on lithographically defined linear array of n-type Si channels on SOI substrate. As revealed by wavelength resolved photocurrent spectroscopy measurements, each element in the PDA structure exhibited a maximum spectral responsivity comparable to that of commercially available photodiodes operating under self-powered operational mode. Time-dependent photocurrent spectroscopy measurements showed excellent photocurrent reversibility of the device. The study presented here is expected to offer exciting opportunities in terms of high value-added graphene/Si based PDA device applications such as multi-wavelength light measurement, level metering, high-speed photometry, position/motion detection, and more.
