Abstract
TexSe1–x shortwave infrared (SWIR) photodetectors show promise for monolithic integration with readout integrated circuits (ROIC), making it a potential alternative to conventional expensive SWIR photodetectors. However, challenges such as a high dark current density and insufficient detection performance hinder their application in large-scale monolithic integration. Herein, we develop a ZnO/TexSe1–x heterojunction photodiode and synergistically address the interfacial elemental diffusion and dangling bonds via inserting a well-selected 0.3 nm amorphous TeO2 interfacial layer. The optimized device achieves a reduced dark current density of −3.5 × 10–5 A cm–2 at −10 mV, a broad response from 300 to 1700 nm, a room-temperature detectivity exceeding 2.03 × 1011 Jones, and a 3 dB bandwidth of 173 kHz. Furthermore, for the first time, we monolithically integrate the TexSe1–x photodiodes on ROIC (64 × 64 pixels) with the largest-scale array among all TexSe1–x-based detectors. Finally, we demonstrate its applications in transmission imaging and substance identification.
