Two-dimensional (2D) materials are promising for future electronic and optoelectronic devices. In particular, 2D material-based photodetectors have been widely studied because of their excellent photodetection performance. Owing to its excellent electrical and optical characteristics, 2D indium selenide (α-In2Se3) is a good candidate for photodetection applications. In addition, α-In2Se3 samples, including atom-thick α-In2Se3 layers, present ferroelectric properties. Herein, we report the fabrication and electrical and optoelectronic properties of multilayered graphene (Gr)/α-In2Se3/Gr-based ferroelectric semiconductor eld-effect transistors (FeS-FETs). Furthermore, we discuss the physical mechanisms affecting electronic and optoelectronic transport in the Gr/α-In2Se3/Gr heterostructure. Large hysteresis was observed in the transfer characteristic curves and it was attributed to the ferroelectric polarization of MTL α-In2Se3 and carrier trapping-detrapping effects. The optoelectronic performance of the fabricated FeS-FETs depended on the ferroelectric properties of α-In2Se3 and can be easily tuned to achieve the maximum photoresponsivity and speci c detectivity of 10 AW-1 and 4.4 × 1012 cmHz1/2W-1, respectively.

Herein, we report the fabrication of a novel heterojunction field-effect transistor (HJFET) based on two-dimensional graphene (Gr), molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2), and black phosphorus (BP) that is shielded using hexagonal boron nitride to prevent device degradation. We perform electrical and optoelectronic characterizations of Gr/n-MoSe2 and Gr/n-MoSe2/p-BP heterojunctions. Heterojunction n-MoSe2/p-BP exhibits a potential barrier at the interface, which allows the use of BP as a top-gate contact to adjust the electrical and optoelectronic performances of the Gr/n-MoSe2 heterojunction. In the absence of a gate voltage, the Gr/n-MoSe2 and Gr/n-MoSe2/p-BP heterojunctions indicate photoresponsivity (Rλ) and specific detectivity (D*) of 1.77 AW−1 and 1.4 × 1010 cmHz1/2W−1, and 0.8 AW−1 and 0.3 × 1010 cmHz1/2W−1, respectively. The Gr/n-MoSe2 junction field-effect transistor with p-BP as gate contact demonstrates the best optoelectronic performance with high stability in terms of photoresponsivity Rλmax = 3.37 AW−1 and specific detectivity D*max = 3.16 × 1010 cmHz1/2W−1, rendering it extremely promising for photodetection applications.

2D transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs) and dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are promising candidates for next‐generation electronic devices and sensors. Herein, the fabrication and characterizations of back‐gated Si/SiO2/GaSe‐based (GaSe: gallium selenide) metal–oxide–semiconductor field‐effect transistors (MOSFETs) and top‐gated Gr/h‐BN/GaSe‐based (h‐BN: hexagonal boron nitride) metal–insulator–semiconductor field‐effect transistors (MISFETs) with a common active layer (GaSe) are reported. The morphological, electrical, and optoelectronic properties are investigated, and the device is found to exhibit p‐type behavior with good electrical tunability. At a laser power of 1.147 μW, the device exhibits a photoresponsivity of 90 mA W−1, ION/IOFF ratios exceeding 104, and long decay times. These promising experimental results can promote the application of GaSe‐based MISFETs in multifunctional electronic devices.
