Abstract

A photodetector includes an insulating layer on a substrate, a first graphene layer on the insulating layer, a 2-dimensional (2D) material layer on the first graphene layer, a second graphene layer on the 2D material layer, a first electrode on the first graphene layer, and a second electrode on the second graphene layer. The 2D material layer includes a barrier layer and a light absorption layer. The barrier layer has a larger bandgap than the light absorption layer.
