    Enhancing the Photo-Response Characteristics of Graphene/N-si Based Schottky Barrier Photodiodes by Increasing the Number of Graphene Layers
    (AVS, 2022) Fidan, Mehmet; Ünverdi, Özhan; Çelebi, Cem
    The impact of the number of graphene layers on the spectral responsivity and response speed of graphene/n-type Si (Gr/n-Si)-based Schottky barrier photodiodes is investigated. Gr/n-Si photodiode devices are fabricated by transferring chemical vapor deposition-grown graphene layers one by one on n-Si substrates, reaching up to three graphene layers. The devices show a clear rectifying Schottky character and have a maximum responsivity at a peak wavelength of 905 nm. Wavelength-resolved and time-dependent photocurrent measurements demonstrated that both spectral responsivity and response speed are enhanced as the number of graphene layers is increased from 1 to 3 on n-Si substrates. For example, the spectral responsivity and the response speed of the fabricated device were found to be improved by about 15% (e.g., from 0.65 to 0.75 AW-1) and 50% (e.g., 14 to 7 μs), respectively, when three graphene layers are used as the hole-collecting cathode electrode. The experimentally obtained results showed that the device parameters, such as spectral responsivity and response speed of Gr/n-Si Schottky barrier photodiodes, can be boosted simply by increasing the number of graphene layers on n-Si substrates.

    Light-Induced Modification of the Schottky Barrier Height in Graphene/Si Based Near-Infrared Photodiodes
    (Elsevier, 2022) Fidan, Mehmet; Dönmez, Gülçin; Yanılmaz, Alper; Ünverdi, Özhan; Çelebi, Cem
    The impact of light on the Schottky barrier height (SBH) in p-type graphene/n-type Si (p-Gr/n-Si) based near-infrared photodiodes is investigated. Hall effect and optoelectronic transport measurements carried out under illumination of 905 nm wavelength light showed that zero-bias SBH in such photodiodes can be effectively tuned in a range between 0.7 and 0.9 eV consistent with the variation in their open-circuit voltage. Shockley-Read-Hall model, which considers the charge recombination through mid-gap and interface states at the p-Gr/n-Si heterojunction, is used to explain the experimentally observed nonlinear dependence of SBH on the incident light. Light induced tunability of SBH at the graphene/semiconductor heterojunction is of great importance especially for the development of new generation optically driven devices in which graphene acts as a functioning element.
