Silicon (100) surface passivation-driven tuning of Ag film crystallinity and its impact on the performance of Ag/n-Si mid-infrared Schottky photodetector

The utilization of metal/semiconductor Schottky devices for plasmonic harvesting of hot carriers holds immense potential in the field of sub-bandgap photodetection. In this work, we explore a surface passivation scheme using air plasma exposure to modify the Si (100) surface and subsequently the cry...
