Enhanced Photodetection Range from Visible to Shortwave Infrared Light by ReSe₂/MoTe₂ van der Waals Heterostructure.

ABSTRACT: Type II vertical heterojunction is a good solution for long-wavelength light detection. Here, we report a rhenium selenide/molybdenum telluride (n-ReSe₂/p-MoTe₂) photodetector for high-performance photodetection in the broadband spectral range of 405-2000 nm. Due to the low Schottky barrier contact of the ReSe₂/MoTe₂ heterojunction, the rectification ratio (RR) of ~10² at ±5 V is realized. Besides, the photodetector can obtain maximum responsivity (R = 1.05 A/W) and specific detectivity (D* = 6.66 × 10¹¹ 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 t
