Abstract
Inorganic semiconductor based photodetectors have been suffering from the slow response speeds, which are caused by the persistent photoconductivity of semiconductor materials. For realizing high speed optoelectronic devices, the organometal halide perovskite thin films were applied onto the interdigitated (IDT) patterned Au electrodes, then symmetrical structured photoconductive detectors were achieved. The detectors were sensitive to the incident light signals and the photocurrents of the devices were 2~3 orders of magnitude higher than dark currents. The responsivities of the devices could reach up to 55 mA W-1. Most importantly, the detectors have a fast response time of less than 20 μs. The light and bias induced dipole rearrangement in organometal perovskite thin films has resulted in the instability of photocurrents, and Ag nanowires could quicken the process of dipole alignment and stabilize the photocurrents of the devices.
