Abstract

The wafer-scale single-crystal GaN film was transferred from a commercial bulk GaN wafer onto a Si (100) substrate by combining ion-cut and surface-activated bonding. Well-defined, uniformly thick, and large-scale wafer size ReS2 multilayers were grown on the GaN substrate. Finally, ReS2 photodetectors were fabricated on GaN and sapphire substrates, respectively, and their performances were compared. Due to the polarization effect of GaN, the ReS2/GaN photodetector showed better performance. The ReS2/GaN photodetector has a responsivity of 40.12 A/W, while ReS2/sapphire has a responsivity of 0.17 A/W. In addition, the ReS2/GaN photodetector properties have reached an excellent reasonable level, including a photoconductive gain of 447.30, noise-equivalent power of 1.80 × 10-14 W/Hz1/2, and detectivity of 1.21 × 1010 Jones. This study expands the way to enhance the performance of ReS2 photodetectors.
