A novel infrared photodetector based on two-dimensional platinum diselendide

Shayan Parhizkar and colleagues have demonstrated an integrated infrared-photodetector on a silicon waveguide using two-dimensional platinum diselendide (PtSe2).

The photodetector has been integrated directly by conformal growth at 400°C on a silicon waveguide. It shows good sensitivity far into the infrared-wavelength range, and it outperform of PtSe2-photodetectors based on standard 2D-layer transfer.   
 
The work is the result of the collaboration between AMO GmbH, RWTH Aachen University, Bundeswehr University Munich, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, and Black Semiconductor.
