Recent Research Progresses in 2D Nanomaterial-based Photodetectors

Abstract

*공동 제1저자 (*Co-first author) Abstacts Atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, including transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), graphene, boron nitride, and black phosphorus, have opened up new opportunities for the next generation optoelectronics owing to their unique properties such as high absorbance coefficient, high carrier mobility, tunable band gap, strong light-matter interaction, and flexibility. In this review, photodetectors based on 2D nanomaterials are classified with respect to critical element technology (e.g., active channel, contact, interface, and passivation). We discuss key ideas for improving the performance of the 2D photodetectors. In addition, figure-of-merits (responsivity, detectivity, response speed, and wavelength spectrum range) are compared to evaluate the performance of diverse 2D photodetectors. In order to achieve highly reliable 2D photodetectors, in-depth studies on material synthesis, device structure, and integration process are still essential. We hope that this review article is able to render the inspiration for the breakthrough of the 2D photodetector research field.
