Abstract

Herein, a broadband photodetector (BPD) is constructed with consistent and stable detection abilities for deep ultraviolet to near-infrared spectral range. The BPD integrates the GaN template with a hybrid organic semiconductor, PM6:Y6, via the spin-coating process, and is fabricated in the form of asymmetric metal–semiconductor–metal structure. Under an optimal voltage, the device shows consistent photoresponse within 254 to 850 nm, featuring high responsivity (10 to 60 A/W), photo-to-dark-current ratio over 10³, and fast response time. These results show the potential of such organic/GaN heterojunctions as a simple and effective strategy to build BPDs for a reliable photo-sensing application in the future.
