GRAPHENE PHOTOCONDUCTORS FABRICATED ON THE SUBSTRATES WITH DIFFERENT RESISTIVITY

In this paper, the results of the initial work on determining the photoelectric properties of graphene detector operating in a photoconductive mode are presented. Graphene is considered as a material for uncooled fast detectors. The investigation has been done by electrical and optical characterization. Two values of substrate resistivity have been used in the project - below 1 Omega cm and higher than 1.6 k Omega cm. Measurements of detectors response to short, strong light pulses were conducted. Presented studies show that the use of high resistivity substrates is necessary to prevent capacitive shorting of the signal to the substrate, causing signal losses and increasing response time.
