Abstract:

In this paper, we report the optoelectronic properties of multi-layered GeS nanosheets (~28 nm thick)-based field-effect transistors (called GeS-FETs). The multi-layered GeS-FETs exhibit remarkably high photoresponsivity of Rλ~206 AW-1 under illumination of 1.5 μW/cm2 at =633 nm, Vg=0 V and Vds=10 V. The obtained Rλ~206 AW-1 is excellent as compared with a GeS nanoribbonbased and the other family members of group IV-VI-based photodetectors in the two-dimensional (2D) realm, such as GeSe and SnS2. The gate-dependent photoresponsivity of GeS-FETs was further measured to be able to reach Rλ~655 AW-1 operated at Vg=-80 V. Moreover, the multi-layered GeS photodetector holds high external quantum efficiency (EQE~4.0�?104%) and specific detectivity (D*~2.35�?1013 Jones). The measured D* is comparable to those of the advanced commercial Si- and InGaAs-based photodiodes. The GeS photodetector also shows an excellent long-term photoswitching stability with a response time of ~7 ms over a long period of operation (>1 h). These extraordinary properties of high photocurrent generation, broad spectral range, fast response and long-term stability make the GeS-FET photodetector a highly qualified candidate for future optoelectronic applications.
