We study the effect of temperature and light on the I-V and C-V characteristics of a graphene/silicon Schottky diode. The device exhibits a reverse-bias photocurrent exceeding the forward current and achieves a photoresponsivity as high as 2.5 A / W . We show that the enhanced photocurrent is due to photo-generated carriers injected in the graphene/Si junction from the parasitic graphene/SiO₂/Si capacitor connected in parallel to the diode. The same mechanism can occur with thermally generated carriers, which contribute to the high leakage current often observed in graphene/Si junctions.
我们研究了温度和光照对石墨烯/硅肖特基二极管的电流-电压(I-V)和电容-电压(C-V)特性的影响。该器件呈现出反向偏置光电流超过正向电流的现象,并实现了高达2.5 A / W的光响应度。我们表明,增强的光电流是由于从与二极管并联连接的寄生石墨烯/二氧化硅/硅电容器注入到石墨烯/硅结中的光生载流子所致。热生载流子也会发生同样的机制,这导致了在石墨烯/硅结中经常观察到的高漏电流。
