    Both high speed and efficiency of photoelectric conversion are essential for photodetectors. As an

    emerging layered metal dichalcogenide (LMD), tin disulfide owns intrinsic faster photodetection

    ability than most other LMDs but poor light absorption and low photoelectric conversion efficiency.

    We develop an efficient method to enhance its performance by constructing a SnS2-copper indium

    sulfide hybrid structure. As a result, the responsivity reaches 630 A/W, six times stronger than pristine

    SnS2 and much higher than most other LMDs photodetectors. Additionally, the photocurrents are

    enhanced by more than 1 order of magnitude. Our work may open up a pathway to improve the

    performance of photodetectors based on LMDs. VC 2016 AIP Publishing LLC.[http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4939442]

    Earth-abundant layered metal dichalcogenides (LMDs)

    with general formula MX2 (M¼Mo, W, Sn, Ti, Zr, Hf, Nb,Ta, and X¼S, Se) have attracted a great deal of attentionover the past decade.1–3 The nature of suitable band-gaps and

    monolayer-stability enable them ideal candidates for applica-

    tion in photodetection, which require high performance in

    terms of speed and efficiency of photoelectric conversion.

    Motivated by those targets, a great number of photodetectors

    based on LMDs, such as MoS2 and WSe2, have been fabri-

    cated.4–7 However, a few of them can meet both. As an impor-

    tant member of LMDs, tin disulfide (SnS2) has attracted

    increasing attention recently. Field effect transistors (FETs)

    based on exfoliated SnS2 Nanosheets (NSs) show high on/off

    ratio� 106 and mobility up to 230 cm2 V�1 s�1 at room tem-perature.8–10 Monolayer to few-layer SnS2 NSs have been

    synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on carbon

    fiber, mica, and silicon substrates.11–13 SnS2 NSs especially

    can behave similar to ultrafast photodetectors with the rising

    time� 5 ls,14 which is at least an order of magnitude fasterthan those based on MoS2, WS2, GaTe, and many other lay-

    ered materials,6,15,16 indicating its great superiority as ultra-

    sensitive photodetectors. However, its responsivity is limited

    to 8.8 mA/W. Recently, we synthesized thin SnS2 NSs on car-

    bon fibers though a CVD method and verified its potential in

    fast and sensitive phototransistors.11 But the indirect bandgap

    nature of SnS2 may hinder the photoelectric conversion effi-

    ciency from meeting a higher standard. Thus, it is of great

    value to explore a strategy that improves the light absorption

    of SnS2 photodetectors.

    On the other hand, 2D-0D hybrid architectures have

    recently received considerable attention for their high per-

    formance as photodetectors.17–20 This structure benefits from

    strong light absorption, facile bandgap tunability, large

    scale manufacturability of quantum dots (QDs),21,22 and the

    facilitative separation of photoexcited charges induced by

    type II heterojunction formed between the QDs and the lay-

    ered materials. Besides, with the single crystal layered mate-

    rial as a channel, this structure also avoids the boundary

    issues in QDs photodetectors. As a result, the responsivity of

    the hybrid graphene-PbS phototransistors could be 107 A/W

    with fast response time�10 ms.17 A hybrid MoS2-PbS QDsphotodetector could show high responsivity of 105–106 A/W

    as well as fast response time�0.35 s.18 Accordingly, wedesigned a hybrid device combined p-type copper indium sul-

    fide (CuInS2, CIS) QDs with the CVD-grown SnS2 NSs. The

    schematic of the hybrid device is shown in Fig. 1(a). The CIS

    QDs have demonstrated fruitful application in solar cell for its

    high light absorption and chemical stability.23–26 Besides,

    with its proper energy band structure, CIS-decorated SnS2could form a typical type-II band alignments,27 as shown in

    Fig. 1(b), which helps to improve photoresponse of SnS2.

    Herein, we report a photodetector based on SnS2-CIS

    QDs hybrid architecture. Due to the type II heterojunction

    formed between SnS2 and CIS QDs, the device exhibits

    enhanced light absorption ability, fast photoresponse, sensitive

    and gate-tunable photodetection. It is also notable that the

    responsivity reaches as high as 630 A/W at P¼ 2.83 mW/cm2,which is comparable with that of graphene-PbS hybrid photo-

    detection at the same power of illumination. Thus, our study

    may provide a method to improve the performance of photo-

    detectors and expand the building blocks for high performance

    optoelectronic devices.

    The SnS2 NSs were synthesized by a CVD method as

    reported in our previous work.11 The CIS QDs were synthe-

    sized through a solvothermal recipe. In a typical process,

    0.33 g CuCl2, 0.81 g InCl3, and 1.04 g SC(NH2)2 were added

    to 3 ml alcohol and 40 ml deionized water in a 50 ml Teflon

    autoclave. Then the reactor was maintained at 240 �C for 3 h.After that, �10 nm CIS QDs were precipitated at the bottomof the reactor. To fabricate device, as-grown thin SnS2 NSs

    were drop-casted onto p-doped silicon substrates with

    300 nm thick thermal oxidation layer. A standard e-beam

  • lithography (EBL) process was carried to define the electri-

    cal metal electrodes. Cr/Au (5 nm/80 nm) metal electrodes

    were deposited by thermal evaporation. After the measure-

    ment of pristine SnS2 device, CIS QDs were spin-coated

    onto its surface, using a method similar with Ref. 17. During

    this procedure, 20 mg CIS QDs were dissolved in 5 ml tolu-

    ene and centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 30 s. Then two drops

    (each drop�0.05 ml) of the supernatant was dropped ontothe rotating substrates (2000 rpm) followed by 3 drops of 2

    vol. % 1,2-ethanedithiol-ligands (EDT) in acetonitrile and

    another 2 drops of acetonitrile and toluene. This sequence

    was repeated for 3 times. Then, the substrate was dried at

    30 �C for 10 min.Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Raman

    spectrum were used to characterize our synthesized SnS2 NSs

    and CIS QDs. Fig. 1(c) exhibits the HRTEM of the SnS2 NSs

    (top panel) and CIS QDs (bottom panel). The high crystallin-

    ity of the SnS2 NSs could be concluded from the regular dif-

    fraction fringes with the lattice spacing of 3.15 Å indexed to

    the (100) plane.28 Meanwhile, the lattice constant�3.18 Å inFig. 1(c) (bottom panel) agrees well with the (112) plane of

    CIS.25 Raman spectra of SnS2 NSs, CIS QDs, and the hybrid

    structure are shown in Fig. 1(d), respectively. It is clear that

    the Raman spectrum of the hybrid structure shows two peaks

    assigning to that of SnS2 nanosheets (313.6 cm�1) and CIS

    (303.2 cm�1).14,29 The UV-visible-IR absorption spectroscopy

    of SnS2 and hybrid SnS2-CIS quantum dots in Fig. 1(e) veri-

    fies that the light absorption range of hybrid SnS2-CIS is

    enhanced and extended to part of the near infrared (NIR)

    region after CIS QDs deposition.

    To investigate the performance of SnS2-CIS hybrid pho-

    todetector, photoresponse of the pristine and hybrid device

    under 473 nm laser were conducted, respectively. Noting

    that our previous work has demonstrated oxygen molecules

    in ambient could grab electrons from the n-type channel

    materials and thus seriously affect the properties of the de-

    vice,11,20,30 all the measurements in our experiment were

    carried in vacuum �10�5 Torr. The inset of Fig. 2(a) showsan atomic force microscope (AFM) image of the pristine

    device, indicating the thickness of the channel SnS2NSs� 13.6 nm. The I-V curves of the same photodetectorbefore and after CIS QDs deposition in the dark and under

    laser illumination are shown in Fig. 2(a). It is obvious that

    the dark currents of hybrid device slightly increase while the

    photocurrents dramatically augment by at least one order.

    This increase could also be verified by the photoresponse of

    the hybrid and pristine device under different power of inci-

    dent illumination, as shown in Fig. 2(b). After decorating

    with CIS QDs layer, the sensitivity of the SnS2 device

    remained, embodying in the increasing photocurrents as the

    power of incident illumination increases. Furthermore, as a

    critical parameter for photodetector, the responsivity (Rk) ofthe device was improved. The Rk can be calculated as thefollowing formula:31

    Rk ¼ Iph=PS; (1)

    where Iph is the photocurrents and P and S are effective illu-mination intensity and area. As plotted in Fig. 2(c), the high-

    est responsivity of the hybrid device reaches as high as

    630 A/W at P¼ 2.83 mW/cm2, while that of the pristine de-vice is 167 A/W. The time-resolved photoresponse of the de-

    vice (Fig. 2(d)) shows that after QDs deposition, the rising

    and decay time could remain within 110 ms. Meanwhile, no

    obviously slow decay tail was observed,32 indicating the

    potential of the hybrid device for sensitive photodetectors.

    Here, the enhanced photocurrents and responsivity origin

    from the designed type II structure. Band bending induced

    build-in field between the interface of CIS and SnS2 drives

    the photogenerated electrons and holes to move in opposite

    directions, reducing the recombination rate significantly. The

    electrons transferred from CIS to SnS2 can increase the

    charge density of the channel material, leading to higher

    photocurrents. Meanwhile, the holes are trapped in the CIS

  • film, which further serve as an effect of photogating and lead

    to the transfer threshold voltage shift. It could also explain

    the background photocurrents change shown in Fig. 2(b).33

    As shown in our previous work, SnS2 displays great

    potential as phototransistors with sensitive light response and

    gate tunable photoswitch ratio.11 We further verify that its

    performance could be improved with hybrid architecture.

    Transfer curves with or without light illumination were meas-

    ured before and after QDs deposition. Considering possible

    gate hysteresis, all the curves are acquired as the gate voltage

    was applied from negative to positive values. The hybrid de-

    vice shows increased currents both in the dark and under illu-

    mination, as presented in Fig. 3(a). Besides, the threshold

    voltage shifts from 19.9 V to 8.81 V after QDs deposition,

    indicating an obvious electron doping effect. It is notable that

    our hybrid device exhibits positive photoconductivity in the

    whole range of gate sweeping, significantly different with

    Ref. 18, in which the MoS2-PbS QDs photodetectors exhibit

    positive photoconductivity only at strong negative Vgs.18 As

    plotted in Fig. 3(b), the hybrid device remains sensitive photo-

    response compared with the pristine device, showing increas-

    ing currents as the power of illumination increases. Even

    though the pristine device shows a relatively higher responsiv-

    ity than many other LMDs,5,34,35 the responsivity of the

    hybrid device is still improved by several to ten times. Figs.

    3(c) and 3(d), respectively, depict the responsivity of device

    before and after CIS QDs deposition as the power of illumina-

    tion increases. We draw these two figures in the same

    range (101 mA/W–106 mA/W) to facilitate a comparison. The

    highest responsivity measured of hybrid phototransistors is

    500 A/W at P¼ 5.94 mW/cm2, Vgs¼ 50 V. Though severalother hybrid devices have shown a responsivity as high as

    107 A/W, the results were measured at a very low intensity of

    illumination.17–20 Our results are comparable with that of

    those hybrid phototransistors at the same intensity of illumina-

    tion. Besides, it is obvious that the measured responsivity

    displays a tendency of increasing as the intensity of illumina-

    tion decreases. At higher illumination intensity, more photo-

    generated charges are separated, which induce an increasing

    reverse electric field. As a result, the build-in field is lowered,

    leading to accelerating charges recombination at the interface

    and dropping responsivity. Thus, it is safe to predict that our

    hybrid device would show even higher responsivity at an illu-

    mination of lower intensity.

    Another interesting phenomenon is that the transfer

    curves shift as the intensity of illumination increases, as indi-

    cated in Fig. 3(b). For one reason, photogenerated electrons

    transfer from the CIS layer to SnS2, which results in more

    electrons in the channel. For another reason, photogenerated

    holes remained in the CIS QDs layer, leading to a photogat-

    ing effect, which further changes the conductance of the

    channel material through capacitive coupling.17,36 As a

    result, the threshold voltage of the hybrid device shifts to

    negative gate voltages. To clearly show these collaborative

    effects, we plot the threshold voltage shift as a function of

    light illumination in Fig. 4(a). Interestingly, the curve can be

    fitted very well with the following equation, which has been

    used for phototransistors before:19,37

    DVth ¼ aPb; (2)

    where DVth is the shift of threshold voltage, P is the intensityof light illumination, and a and b are the constant. Besides, itis well known that the channel current could be expressed as38

    Ids ¼W

    LlCox VG � VT �

    VD2

    � �VD; VD � VG � VTð Þ;

    (3)

    where Cox is the capacitance of the gate dielectric per unitarea and L and W are the length and width of the channelmaterial, respectively. Then, the photocurrent of the hybrid

    device could be expressed as

  • Iph ¼W

    Fig. 4(b) shows the responsivity of our hybrid device

    as a function of light illumination, which fits very well

    with Equation (5). According to our experimental results,

    b� 0.48 is higher than that of a PbS-graphene hybriddevice.19 In general, the value of b indicates the efficiency ofcharges transfer from the layer of QDs to the channel mate-

    rial. It depends on the quality of interface between the CIS

    QDs layer and SnS2 NSs, the surface ligand used to prepare

    QDs solution, and the experimental process.39 Therefore, by

    carefully choosing the ligand and improving the experimen-

    tal procedure, it is possible that the value of b and theresponsivity of the hybrid device could be further improved.

    In summary, a hybrid device with sensitive photores-

    ponse, fast response time, and improved responsivity was

    fabricated by spin-coating CIS QDs layer onto the surface of

    SnS2 NSs. These improvements benefit from strong light

    absorption of CIS QDs and the type II heterojunction formed

    between SnS2 surface and CIS QDs. As a result, the photo-

    currents are enhanced by more than one order and the

    responsivity of the hybrid device is higher than 600 A/W.

    Besides, the experimental data of the responsivity at varied

    power of incident illumination agree very well with the theo-

    retical equation. Our work may broaden the 2D-0D system

    and offer a method to improve the performance of optoelec-

    tronic devices based on LMDs.
