  • Abstract

    High performance photodetectors play important roles in the development of innovative technologies in many fields, including medicine, display and imaging, military, optical communication, environment monitoring, security check, scientific research and industrial processing control. Graphene, the most fascinating two-dimensional material, has demonstrated promising applications in various types of photodetectors from terahertz to ultraviolet, due to its ultrahigh carrier mobility and light absorption in broad wavelength range. Graphene field effect transistors are recognized as a type of excellent transducers for photodetection thanks to the inherent amplification function of the transistors, the feasibility of miniaturization and the unique properties of graphene. In this review, we will introduce the applications of graphene transistors as photodetectors in different wavelength ranges including terahertz, infrared, visible, and ultraviolet, focusing on the device design, physics and photosensitive performance. Since the device properties are closely related to the quality of graphene, the devices based on graphene prepared with different methods will be addressed separately with a view to demonstrating more clearly their advantages and shortcomings in practical applications. It is expected that highly sensitive photodetectors based on graphene transistors will find important applications in many emerging areas especially flexible, wearable, printable or transparent electronics and high frequency communications.

    • In all nanodevices, zigzag carbon nanotubes (ZCNTs) and armchair-edge graphene nanoribbons (A-GNRs) serve as carbon-based channels for CNT- and GNR-based (T)FETs, as shown in left and right figures, respectively [ 41 , 42 ]. It is worth indicating that coaxial gate configurations (left figures) and double gate configurations (right figures) have been adopted for CNT- and GNR-based devices, respectively [ 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ]. Note that our study encompasses FET and tunnel FET modes. Additionally, the DL-TFET is not a combination of the Schottky barrier and tunnel FETs because it lacks a Schottky junction between the electrically doped source and the CNT/GNR [ 46 ]. Figure 1 a,b present lengthwise cut views of the conventional Gate-All-Around (GAA) CNT(T)FET and Double Gate (DG) GNR(T)FET, respectively. These devices feature SiO 2 gate dielectrics and n-i-n or p-i-n chemical doping profiles [ 45 , 47 ]. The control gate covers the intrinsic channel region for both devices. Figure 1 c,d showcase the proposed vacuum gate dielectric doping-free CNT(T)FET and GNR(T)FET, respectively. As their names suggest, these devices operate under dielectric-less [ 27 , 28 , 29 ] and doping-free [ 46 ] paradigms. Electrostatic control is utilized to achieve the doping profile necessary for FET and TFET operation via electrical source and drain doping gates. Figure 1 e,f offer lengthwise cut views of the two proposed vacuum devices, revealing the absence of a bulk dielectric material around the channel, which is entirely controlled electrostatically, while 2D dielectrics can conceptually be adopted to cover the carbon channels forming metal-vacuum-2D dielectric-carbon structure, which is beneficial than MOS structure for radiation hardness. Notably, the CNT- and GNR-based vacuum devices are fully reconfigurable and can operate as FETs, TFETs, or BTBT FETs depending on applied biasing conditions (doping and control). Figure 1 g,h present cross-sectional views perpendicular to the carbon-based channel. In the case of the CNTFET, even the inner environment of the CNT is considered a vacuum, which offers benefits in terms of immunity against radiation effects. Table 1 provides details of the proposed designs, encompassing configuration, structure, and physical, dimensional, and electrical parameters of the vacuum nanodevices. It is important to note that this information and parameters are nominal, and any changes for parametric investigation’s sake will be explicitly highlighted.

    • Thin film transistors (TFTs) have been produced by rf magnetron sputtering at room temperature, using non conventional oxide materials like amorphous indium-zinc-oxide (IZO) semiconductor; for the channel as well as for the drain and source regions. The obtained TFTs operate in the enhancement mode with threshold voltages of 2.4 V, saturation mobility of 22.7 cm(2)/Vs, gate voltage swing of 0.44 V/dec and an ON/OFF current ratio of 7x10(7). The high performances presented by these TFTs associated to a high electron mobility, at least two orders of magnitude higher than that of conventional amorphous silicon TFTs and a love threshold voltage, opens new doors for applications in flexible. wearable, disposable portable electronics as well as battery-powered
