We report on gallium-selenium alloy (GaSe 9 ) thin films simultaneously functioning as both blocking layer and active layer on poly(3-hexylthiophene-2, 5-diyl) (P3HT)-based organic photodiodes in order to enhance device performance. In addition to improved transport of the photogenerated charge carriers, GaSe 9 films also contribute to light absorption on a different wavelength interval than that of P3HT. Three different devices are compared: ITO/GaSe 9 /Al, ITO/P3HT/Al and ITO/P3HT/GaSe 9 /Al, with the last one presenting a lower dark current density (0.90 μA cm −2 ), higher ON/OFF current ratio (61) and fastest response under AM 1.5 light irradiance. The observed responsivity is 7.3 mA W −1 and is almost linearly dependent on irradiance in the range 0.6-60 W m −2 . A maximum external quantum efficiency of 135% and specific detectivity of 16.7 × 10 11 Jones at 390 nm incident light wavelength are obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
