Abstract

The effects of triphenylphosphine (PPh3 )-based n-doping and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) insertion on a tungsten diselenide (WSe2 ) photodetector are systematically studied, and a very high performance WSe2 /h-BN heterostucture-based photodetector is demonstrated with a record photoresponsivity (1.27 × 10(6) A W(-1) ) and temporal photoresponse (rise time: 2.8 ms, decay time: 20.8 ms) under 520 nm wavelength and 5 pW power laser illumination.

Keywords: PPh3; WSe2; nondegenerate doping; photodetectors; type-converted FET.
