Publication Access status: Metadata only , Graphene-Based Optoelectronic Mixer Device for Time-of-Flight Distance Measurements for Enhanced 3D Imaging ApplicationsA large and growing number of applications benefit from innovative and powerful 3D image sensors. Graphene photodetectors can achieve 3D sensing functionalities by intrinsic optoelectronic frequency mixing due to the nonlinear output characteristics of the sensor. In first proof of principle distance measurement demonstrations, we achieve modulation frequencies of 3.1 MHz, signal-to-noise ratios of ∼40 dB, distance detection up to at least 1 m, and a mean accuracy of 25.6 mm. The scalable More than Moore detector approach enables geometrical fill factors close to 100% and can easily complement powerful functionalities by simple back-end integration on top of CMOS electronics.Source Type:Article - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Access status: Metadata only , High Responsivity and Ultra-Low Detection Limits in Nonlinear a-Si:H p-i-n Photodiodes Enabled by PhotogatingPhotodetectors operating at the wavelength in the visible spectrum are key components in high-performance optoelectronic systems. In this work, massive nonlinearities in amorphous silicon p-i-n photodiodes enabled by the photogating are presented, resulting in responsivities up to 744 mA/W at blue wavelengths. The detectors exhibit significant responsivity gains at optical modulation frequencies exceeding MHz and a more than 60-fold enhanced spectral response compared to the non-gated state. The detection limits down to 10.4 nW/mm 2 and mean signal-to-noise ratio enhancements of 8.5 dB are demonstrated by illuminating the sensor with an additional 6.6 µW/mm 2 red wavelength. Electro-optical simulations verify photocarrier modulation due to defect-induced field screening to be the origin of such high responsivity gains. The experimental results validate the theory and enable the development of commercially viable and complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) compatible high responsivity photodetectors operating in the visible range for low-light level imaging and detection.Source Type:Article6 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Access status: Metadata only , Interlayer Affected Diamond Electrochemistry(2024); ; ; ; Diamond electrochemistry is primarily influenced by quantities of sp 3 ‐carbon, surface terminations, and crystalline structure. In this work, a new dimension is introduced by investigating the effect of using substrate‐interlayers for diamond growth. Boron and nitrogen co‐doped nanocrystalline diamond (BNDD) films are grown on Si substrate without and with Ti and Ta as interlayers, named BNDD/Si, BNDD/Ti/Si, and BNDD/Ta/Ti/Si, respectively. After detailed characterization using microscopies, spectroscopies, electrochemical techniques, and density functional theory simulations, the relationship of composition, interfacial structure, charge transport, and electrochemical properties of the interface between diamond and metal is investigated. The BNDD/Ta/Ti/Si electrodes exhibit faster electron transfer processes than the other two diamond electrodes. The interlayer thus determines the intrinsic activity and reaction kinetics. The reduction in their barrier widths can be attributed to the formation of TaC, which facilitates carrier tunneling, and simultaneously increases the concentration of electrically active defects. As a case study, the BNDD/Ta/Ti/Si electrode is further employed to assemble a redox‐electrolyte‐based supercapacitor device with enhanced performance. In summary, the study not only sheds light on the intricate relationship between interlayer composition, charge transfer, and electrochemical performance but also demonstrates the potential of tailored interlayer design to unlock new capabilities in diamond‐based electrochemical devices.Source Type:Article5
