Abstract
AbstractNear‐infrared (NIR) photodetectors can be fabricated for various applications, such as imaging, military tracking, and medical diagnosis. However, achieving miniaturization and high responsivity for NIR photodetector arrays is still a challenge. In this study, a high‐density NIR photodetector array with a micro/nano chalcogenide and silver nanoparticle heterostructure is achieved using a low‐cost printing strategy. The Ag/Ge2Sb2Te5(GST)/Ag heterostructure is fabricated using a template‐assisted sequential printing strategy. At an absorption wavelength of λ = 980 nm, the NIR photodetector has a high light responsivity of 6.7 × 104 A W−1 owing to the high crystallinity of the GST microwire and refined GST/Ag heterointerface during the printing process. In addition, the sensing pixel interval can be reduced to 25 µm, corresponding to the highest resolution of NIR photodetectors achieved thus far (resolution: 1.0 × 103 dpi). In addition, the NIR photodetector printed on soft substrates exhibits flexibility. Thus, a simple and effective strategy for the fabrication of NIR photodetectors is demonstrated, and precise flexible infrared sensing is achieved.
