Abstract

Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) and graphene hybrid photodetectors were demonstrated in the middle- and long-wavelength infrared (MWIR and LWIR, respectively) regions. Graphene transistors were prepared using Si substrates with an SiO2 layer and source and drain electrodes. Single-layer graphene fabricated by chemical vapor deposition was transferred onto the substrates to form a channel; the GNR was formed on this channel by solution dispersion. The formation of graphene and the GNR was confirmed by position mapping of the Raman spectra. The photoresponse was measured in the MWIR and LWIR regions, and was found to be drastically enhanced for devices with the GNR when compared with those without it. Although the devices without the GNR could not respond at temperatures higher than 15 K, those with the GNR could be operated at temperatures up to 150 K. This was attributed to photogating by the GNR layers that absorbed the MWIR and LWIR radiation, leading to a significant temperature change. These results can potentially contribute toward developing high-performance and broadband IR graphene-based photodetectors.
