Embedded Integration of Sb₂Se₃ Film by Low-Temperature Plasma-Assisted Chemical Vapor Reaction with Polycrystalline Si Transistor for High-Performance Flexible Visible-to-Near-Infrared Photodetector

Flexible optoelectronics have garnered considerable interest for applications such as optical communication, motion capture, biosignal detection, and night vision. Transition-metal dichalcogenides are widely used as flexible photodetectors owing to their outstanding electrical and optical properties and high flexibility. Herein, a two-dimensional (2D) Sb2Se3 film-based one transistor–one resistor (1T1R) flexible photodetector with high photosensing current and detection ranges from visible to near-infrared was developed. The flexible 1T1R was fabricated using an efficient field-effect transistor platform with the 2D Sb2Se3 film directly deposited on the sensing region using a low-temperature plasma-assisted chemical vapor reaction. The photodetector could achieve a maximum Iphoto/Idark of 15,000 under white light with a power density of 26 mW/cm2, in which the photodetector showed quick rising and falling response times of 0.16 and 0.28 s, respectively. The 2D Sb2Se3 film exhibits broadband absorption in the visible and IR regions, yielding an excellent photoresponse under laser illumination with different wavelengths. To investigate the flexibility and stability of the 1T1R photodetector, the photoresponses were measured under different bending cycles and curvatures, which maintained its functions and exhibited high stability under convex and concave bending at a curvature radius of 20 mm.
