3D‐Heterojunction Based on Embedded Perovskite Micro‐Sized Single Crystals for Fast Photomultiplier Photodetectors with Broad/Narrowband Dual‐Mode

Abstract A fast photomultiplier photodetector with a broad/narrowband dual mode is implemented using a new 3D heterostructure based on embedded perovskite micro‐sized single crystals. Because the single‐crystal size is smaller than the electrode size, the active layer can be divided into a perovskite microcrystalline part for charge transport and a polymer‐embedded part for charge storage. This induces an additional radial interface in the 3D heterojunction structure, and allows a photogenerated built‐in electric field in the radial direction, especially when the energy levels between the perovskite and embedding polymer are similar. This type of heterojunction has a small radial capacitance that can effectively reduce carrier quenching and accelerate the carrier response. By controlling the applied bias direction, up to 300–1000% external quantum efficiency (EQE) and microsecond response can be achieved not only in the wide range of ultraviolet to visible light from 320 to 550 nm, but also in the narrow‐band response with a full width at half minimum (FWHM) of 20 nm. This shows great potential for applications in integrated multifunctional photodetectors.
