High Photoresponse Black Phosphorus TFTs Capping with Transparent Hexagonal Boron Nitride.

ABSTRACT: Black phosphorus (BP), a single elemental two-dimensional (2D) material with a sizable band gap, meets several critical material requirements in the development of future nanoelectronic applications. This work reports the ambipolar characteristics of few-layer BP, induced using 2D transparent hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) capping. The 2D h-BN capping have several advantages over conventional Al2O3 capping in flexible and transparent 2D device applications. The h-BN capping technique was used to achieve an electron mobility in the BP devices of 73 cm2V-1s-1, thereby demonstrating n-type behavior. The ambipolar BP devices exhibited ultrafast photodetector behavior with a very high photoresponsivity of 1980 mA/W over the ultraviolet (UV), visible, and infrared (IR) spectral ranges. The h-BN capping process offers a feasible approach to fabricating n-type behavior BP semiconductors and high photoresponse BP photodetectors.
