Sumario:Semiconductor physics: Energy saving flexible broadband hybrid photodetector Energy efficient and flexible alternative photodetector that detects both visible and invisible light comes closer to real life than ever. A group of researchers from China has developed an organic-inorganic hybrid photodetector that outperforms conventional inorganic like Si and InGaAs-based photodetectors in at least two aspects: broader detection spectral range and much lower dark current. Thanks to the structural flexibility of two hybrid photosensitive materials, methyl-ammonium lead halide and lead phthalocyanine, the team engineered the large area sub-micron thick photodetector with porous structures, which is the key to reducing the standby power consumption by more than 30 times compared to the best InGaAs and Si-based photodetectors. More importantly, the hybrid photodetector needs no additional apparatus or power to cool it for continuous operation, in contrast to the InGaAs photodetector.
