Description
Summary:Narrowband photodetectors (PD) established in the near-infrared (NIR) wavelength range are highly required in a variety of applications including high-quality bioimaging. In this simulation study, we propose a filter-less narrowband PD based on the architecture of perovskite/organic heterojunction. The most decisive part of the photodetector is the hierarchical configuration of a larger bandgap perovskite material with a thicker film followed by a lower bandgap organic material with a narrower layer. The design of the structure is carried out by TCAD numerical simulations. Our structure is based on an experimentally validated wideband organic PD, which is modified by invoking an additional perovskite layer having a tunable bandgap. The main detector device comprises of ITO/perovskite (CsyFA1−yPb(IxBr1−x)3)/organic blend (PBDTTT-c:C60-PCBM)/PEDOT:PSS/Al. The simulation results show that the proposed heterojunction PD achieves satisfactory performance when the thickness of perovskite and organic layers are 2.5 µm and 500 nm, respectively. The designed photodetector achieves a narrow spectral response at 730 nm with a full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of 33 nm in the detector, while having a responsivity of about 0.12 A/W at zero bias. The presented heterojunction perovskite/organic PD can efficiently detect light in the wavelength range of 700 to 900 nm. These simulation results can be employed to drive the development of filter-less narrowband NIR heterojunction PD.
