Intrinsic photocurrent characteristics of graphene photodetectors passivated with Al2O3

Abstract

The intrinsic photo-response of chemical vapor deposited (CVD) graphene photodetectors were investigated after eliminating the influence of photodesorption using an atomic layer deposited (ALD) Al2O3 passivation layer. A general model describing the intrinsic photocurrent generation in a graphene is developed using the relationship between the device dimensions and the level of intrinsic photocurrent under UV illumination.
