Abstract

(Figure Presented) A highly sensitive single-walled carbon nanotube/C60-based infrared phototransistor is fabricated with a responsivity of 97.5 A W-1 and detectivity of 1.17 × 109 Jones at 1 kHz under a source/drain bias of -0.5 V. The much improved performance is enabled by this unique device architecture that enables a high photoconductive gain of ≈104 with a response time of several milliseconds.
