Abstract
Silicon microsphere photodiodes constitute optoelectronic devices able to provide resonance-enhanced photocurrent not only in the visible but also in the near infrared range by virtue of their associated Mie resonances. They are synthesized by means of a bottom-up process that allows obtaining thousand of devices in a single batch. The microspheres have revealed an internal structural configuration that strongly influences the photocurrent response, thus providing an additional degree of freedom for tuning the properties of the photodiodes. Here, devices with a particular internal configuration consisting of a high porous core, a much less porous surrounding layer and a thin non-porous shell, have been studied. They yield comb like peaked photocurrent spectra that have been fitted to a Mie type model. In addition, net energy conversion at 1500 nm has been demonstrated.
