Innovative strategy enhances performance of P-i-N photodetectors in 2D materials, suggesting a simpler construction method.

The study aims to develop high-performance P-i-N photodetectors using self-oxidized HfS2 for improved optoelectronic properties.
Utilized controlled self-limiting surface oxidation to create HfO X as an insulating interlayer.
Fabricated P-i-N structures combining HfS2, HfO X, and WSe2 to minimize dark current and enhance speed.
Analyzed the impact of the insulating layer on the device performance.
Compared performance metrics before and after introducing HfO X.
Dark current significantly reduced due to the high potential barrier created by HfO X.
Light switching ratio improved dramatically from 22 to 10^5.
Responsivity increased from 0.034 A/W to 0.245 A/W, demonstrating enhanced light detection capability.
