Fabrication of a Graphene/ZnO based p-n junction device and its ultraviolet photoresponse properties

초록

Graphene with a zero-bandgap energy is easily doped using a chemical dopant, and a shift upwards or downwards in the Fermi level is generated. Moreover, the integration of inorganic material into the doped graphene changes the physical and chemical properties of the material. For this purpose, we successfully fabricated a p-n junction device by depositing an n-typed ZnO layer on p-doped graphene and studied the ultraviolet (UV) photoresponse properties under a photocurrent (UV light on) and a dark current (UV light off). Two devices, lateral and vertical, were developed by alternating the thickness of the ZnO layer, and the photoresponse mechanisms were described on the basis of the contact potential difference.
