초록
Graphene is recognized as a promising material for silicon photonics, since it has a wide optical-window that entirely covers the optical communication wavelength region (1.3~1.6-µm) and extremely high-carrier mobility that makes it possible to fabricate the highspeed photodetectors. However, the maximum absorbance of monolayer graphene is only 2.3%, which limits the photoresponse characteristics of graphene photodetectors. As a result, a low photoresponsivity of graphene photodetector is a critical issue limiting the use of graphene photodetectors in the optical communications field. In this paper, we investigated effects of optically-modulated metalgraphene contact on the photoresponsivity of graphene photodetectors. The optical modulation of the contact resistance mainly determined the photoresponse characteristics of graphene photodetectors. The Ni-contact graphene photodetector which has a characteristic of the significant optical modulation of metal-graphene contact showed a higher photoresponsivity than the Pd-contact device. This work will provide a way to improve the photoresponse characteristics of graphene-based photodetector and contribute to the development of high-speed/high-responsivity graphene photodetector.
Abstract
Graphene is recognized as a promising material for silicon photonics, since it has a wide optical-window that entirely covers the optical communication wavelength region (1.3~1.6-µm) and extremely high-carrier mobility that makes it possible to fabricate the highspeed photodetectors. However, the maximum absorbance of monolayer graphene is only 2.3%, which limits the photoresponse characteristics of graphene photodetectors. As a result, a low photoresponsivity of graphene photodetector is a critical issue limiting the use of graphene photodetectors in the optical communications field. In this paper, we investigated effects of optically-modulated metalgraphene contact on the photoresponsivity of graphene photodetectors. The optical modulation of the contact resistance mainly determined the photoresponse characteristics of graphene photodetectors. The Ni-contact graphene photodetector which has a characteristic of the significant optical modulation of metal-graphene contact showed a higher photoresponsivity than the Pd-contact device. This work will provide a way to improve the photoresponse characteristics of graphene-based photodetector and contribute to the development of high-speed/high-responsivity graphene photodetector.
