Abstract:
The layered Sb
2Te
3 material with a direct bandgap has significant potential for novel electronic and optoelectronic devices due to its advantages of being non-toxic, structurally stable, compositionally rich, with high carrier concentration and high carrier mobility. In this study, large-area monolayer WS
2 was first synthesized on SiO
2/Si substrates using chemical vapor deposition. The material was characterized by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy, and the experimental data confirmed the successful preparation of monolayer WS
2. Subsequently, a two-step chemical vapor deposition strategy was employed to selectively grow Sb
2Te
3 on the pre-synthesized WS
2/SiO
2/Si substrate, achieving the assembly of a
p-Sb
2Te
3/
n-WS
2 heterojunction. Finally, the two-dimensional
p-Sb
2Te
3/
n-WS
2 heterostructure was used in the fabrication of an optoelectronic detector, resulting in a fast response time with a rise time of 840 µs and a decay time of 1.52 ms. This research provides valuable insights into the construction of heterojunctions involving Sb
2Te
3 and other two-dimensional layered materials, contributing to the development of high-performance optoelectronic detectors.
