Abstract

Photoelectric detectors are the central part of modern photodetection systems with numerous commercial and scientific applications. p-Type semiconductor materials play important roles in optoelectronic devices. Photodetectors based on p-type semiconductor materials have attracted a great deal of attention in recent years because of their unique properties. Here, a comprehensive summary of the recent progress mainly on photodetectors based on inorganic p-type semiconductor materials is presented. Various structures, including photoconductors, phototransistors, homojunctions, heterojunctions, p-i-n junctions, and metal-semiconductor junctions of photodetectors based on inorganic p-type semiconductor materials, are discussed and summarized. Perspectives and an outlook, highlighting the promising future directions of this research field, are also given.
