Enhanced Photodetection Range from Visible to Shortwave Infrared Light by ReSe<sub>2</sub>/MoTe<sub>2</sub> van der Waals Heterostructure

Type II vertical heterojunction is a good solution for long-wavelength light detection. Here, we report a rhenium selenide/molybdenum telluride (n-ReSe<sub>2</sub>/p-MoTe<sub>2</sub>) photodetector for high-performance photodetection in the broadband spectral range of 405–200...

description Type II vertical heterojunction is a good solution for long-wavelength light detection. Here, we report a rhenium selenide/molybdenum telluride (n-ReSe<sub>2</sub>/p-MoTe<sub>2</sub>) photodetector for high-performance photodetection in the broadband spectral range of 405–2000 nm. Due to the low Schottky barrier contact of the ReSe<sub>2</sub>/MoTe<sub>2</sub> heterojunction, the rectification ratio (RR) of ~10<sup>2</sup> at ±5 V is realized. Besides, the photodetector can obtain maximum responsivity (R = 1.05 A/W) and specific detectivity (D* = 6.66 × 10<sup>11</sup> Jones) under the illumination of 655 nm incident light. When the incident wavelength is 1550–2000 nm, a photocurrent is generated due to the interlayer transition of carriers. This compact system can provide an opportunity to realize broadband infrared photodetection.
