This invention relates to a method for amplifying the polarization ratio of a
photodetector based on a two-dimensional semi-metallic material and a heterostructure, belonging to the field of
photodetection technology. Based on a strategy combining a two-dimensional semi-metallic material and a heterostructure, a BP / MoS2 / WTe2
heterojunction is constructed, where BP is the light-absorbing layer, MoS2 is the
barrier layer, and WTe2 is the
contact layer. This invention not only achieves selective carrier transport and reduces
dark current, but also allows WTe2 to reduce
contact resistance and provide a fast carrier extraction channel, realizing asymmetric amplification of the
photocurrent, thereby achieving active amplification of the polarization ratio even at
zero bias. This invention breaks the limitation of the inherent
anisotropy of materials on the magnitude of the polarization ratio, and uses a completely
dry transfer process to fabricate polarization detection photodetectors, eliminating the need for additional polarization elements and
chemical solution treatment. It boasts advantages such as simple process, low cost, high
repeatability, and no
pollution.
