Abstract

In this letter, bipolar phototransistors based on wide bandgap organic-inorganic semiconductor bilayer structure are designed for broadband optical detection. Through purposeful material selection and band matching, the energy level difference of heterojunction interface is obtained to promote photo-induced charge separation and realize optical detection from ultraviolet to near-infrared. Via the suppression of dark current by field effect regulation, the phototransistors demonstrate high normalized detectivity (1014 - 1015 jones). The diversity of organic semiconductor materials provides a wide range of choices to realize broadband detection by the band matching with inorganic semiconductor materials.
