Abstract

A near infrared light sensor includes a 2D material semiconductor layer on a substrate, a tunneling layer on the 2D material semiconductor layer, and first and second electrodes on opposite edge regions of an upper surface of the tunneling layer. The 2D material semiconductor layer may be a TMDC layer having a thickness in a range of about 10 nm to about 100 nm. The tunneling layer and the substrate may each include hBN.
