Abstract
2D Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2 ) is a promising candidate material for high-speed and flexible optoelectronic devices, but only with low photoresponsivity. Here, a large enhancement of photocurrent response is obtained by coupling few-layer MoS2 with Au plasmonic nanostructure arrays. Au nanoparticles or nanoplates placed onto few-layer MoS2 surface can enhance the local optical field in the MoS2 layer, due to the localized surface plasmon (LSP) resonance. After depositing 4 nm thick Au nanoparticles sparsely onto few-layer MoS2 phototransistors, a doubled increase in the photocurrent response is observed. The photocurrent of few-layer MoS2 phototransistors exhibits a threefold enhancement with periodic Au nanoarrays. The simulated optical field distribution confirms that light can be trapped and enhanced near the Au nanoplates. These findings offer an avenue for practical applications of high performance MoS2 -based optoelectronic devices or systems in the future.
