Highly optical-absorption hybrid perovskites with upgraded stability and superior photoelectronic properties are essential for optoelectronics. However, various defects are generated by the solution-based film quality inevitably produces during the crystallization process, which leads to non-radiative recombination and interface mismatch. In this work, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) molecule layer was implemented as the interfacially multifunctional layer and selective transport layer to fabricate an effective photodetector. Interfacial PVP is conductive to the bond coordination between the PVP molecule and the MAPbI3 surface, which could lower the work function of the perovskite film and effectively improve its surface morphology so as to isolate it from water and oxygen molecules. The interfacial passivation for the undercoordinated Pb2+ defects was also verified via first-principles calculations. The electron injection barrier can be regulated via interfacial molecule engineering, leading to the result that the dark current is suppressed by five orders of magnitude to 1.57 × 10−11 A, and the specific detectivity improved by about three orders of magnitude reaching 2.9 × 1012 Jones. These results provide a feasible route to fabricate highly sensitive and stable hybrid perovskite photodetectors.

Metasurface-enabled bound states in the continuum (BICs) provide a novel solution for achieving exceptionally high quality factors (Q factors), which could overcome the limitations of traditional mid-infrared filters, sensors, lasers, and nonlinear sources. However, most BIC metasurfaces are restricted by their sensitivity to specific incident angles, limiting their practical applications. Here, we introduced a germanium-based metasurface that supports two BIC modes for different polarizations, exhibiting robust angle insensitivity. By leveraging geometric asymmetry, we effectively controlled BIC leakage and coupling. The device maintained infinite Q factors under oblique incidence with preserved symmetry, and exhibited stable quasi-BIC resonance wavelengths and linewidths even with broken symmetry, regardless of TE or TM polarization. This angular robustness has been validated both theoretically and experimentally, demonstrating its potential for broadening the applicability of high-performance mid-infrared optical devices.

The human brain possesses a highly developed capability for sensing-memory-computing, and the integration of hardware with brain-like functions represents a novel approach to overcoming the von Neumann bottleneck. In this study, Ga2O3 photoelectric memristors were successfully fabricated, enabling efficient visual information processing and complex recognition through the integration of optoelectronic synapses with digital storage. The memristors with a Pt/Ga2O3/Pt sandwich structure exhibit the coexistence of unipolar resistive switching (URS) and bipolar resistive switching (BRS), coupled with an impressive switching ratio and stable retention characteristics. The device demonstrates robust photo-responsive properties to ultraviolet (UV) light, which enables the realization of an array of 16 photoconductor types through the manipulation of four-timeframe pulse sequences. Exposure of the device to UV light elicits stable synaptic behaviors, including paired-pulse facilitation (PPF), short-term memory (STM), long-term memory (LTM), as well as learning-forgetting-relearning behavior. Moreover, the device exhibits outstanding image sensing, image memory, and neuromorphic visual pre-processing capabilities as a neuromorphic vision sensor (NVS). The integration of light pulse potentiation with electrical pulse depression yields a remarkable 100 conductances with superior linearity. This advanced functionality is further validated by the ability of the device to facilitate the recognition of 85.3% of handwritten digits by artificial neural networks (ANNs), which underscores the significant potential of artificial synapses in mimicking biological neural.

In this work, we demonstrate an extremely low annealing processing at 300 °C for the crystallization of Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 (HZO) films with the adoption of microwave annealing (MWA). Compared to conventional annealing methods, an enhanced double remnant polarization (2Pr) of 55.4 μC/cm2, a higher maximum dielectric constant, and nearly wakeup-free were realized by modulating the power of the microwave. It is believed that the increasing loss factor of zirconia with rising temperature allows more energy to be extracted from the microwave and transferred to the ferroelectric HZO molecules, which facilitates the crystallization at low temperature. Furthermore, an amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide ferroelectric field-effect transistor treated with microwave annealing was fabricated, and a competitive memory window of 1.5 V was substantially achieved. These findings offer insights into the integration of HfO2 ferroelectric materials in non-volatile memory devices compatible with back-end-of-line (BEOL) in the future.

While silicon carbide (SiC) metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) have entered commercial markets, they still rely on specialized device structural approaches tailored to meet specific application demands. The intricate and interdependent relationships among diverse physical parameters of SiC MOSFETs have not been fully elucidated to address the trade-offs that influence each other. This study aims to clarify these complex relationships and propose a well-balanced trade-off strategy. The proposed buried-MOS configuration ensures a harmonious balance among lower Ron,sp, reduced CGD, and milder EOX without compromising breakdown voltage (BV), thereby optimizing the interconnected physical parameters of SiC devices and significantly enhancing their high-voltage, high-frequency performance and reliability. The experimental results quantitatively demonstrate the advantages of the buried-MOS structure: high-frequency figure of merit high-frequency figure of merit (HF-FOM) (RDS,on × CGD) by 2.5×, HF-FOM (RDS,on × QGD) by 2.2× and Baliga figure of merit (BFOM = 4BV2/Ron,sp) by 1.7× compared with the conventional BOX-MOS. Importantly, this approach embodies both theoretical significance and practical applicability, which is compatible with the existing large-scale manufacturing processes and requires no additional steps.

The advantages of on-chip integrated photodetectors, such as miniaturization, high integration, and reliability, make them an indispensable and important part of electronic devices and systems. Herein, we experimentally exhibited a monolithically integrated ultraviolet photodetector utilizing GaN microcylinder epitaxial structure on Si wafer, with its photoresponse properties plasmonically boosted using Pt nanoparticles via specific sizes. When illuminated upon ultraviolet light at 0 V bias, the Pt/GaN device exhibits significant photovoltaic performances, including a peak responsivity of 200.1 mA W−1, external quantum efficiency of 65%, and other figures-of-merit. Finite element analysis and energy band theory confirm that the excellent photodetection properties of the Pt/GaN device are related to the strong plasmon absorption and the increase of hot electrons injected into the GaN conduction band, which considerably improves its photoresponse performance and robustness in application. To realize the multipurpose capability of the devices, we validated the application of Pt/GaN as turbidity sensing and achieved a resolution of up to 100 NTU. Moreover, the prepared devices can be used as optical data receivers for optical communication. These findings provide references for on-chip detectors to improve the overall system performance and promote the realization of more complex applications.
片上集成光电探测器具有小型化、高集成度、高可靠性等优点，是电子器件和系统中不可缺少的重要组成部分。在此，我们通过实验展示了一种单片集成的紫外探测器，该探测器利用硅晶片上的GaN微柱外延结构，通过特定尺寸的Pt纳米颗粒等离子体提高了其光响应性能。当偏置为0 V的紫外光照射时，Pt/GaN器件表现出显著的光伏性能，包括200.1 mA W−1的峰值响应度，65%的外量子效率和其他性能指标。有限元分析和能带理论证实，Pt/GaN器件优异的光探测性能与强等离子体吸收和注入GaN导带的热电子的增加有关，这大大提高了其光响应性能和应用中的鲁棒性。为了实现器件的多用途能力，我们验证了Pt/GaN作为浊度传感的应用，并实现了高达100 NTU的分辨率。此外，所制备的器件还可以用作光通信的光数据接收器。这些发现为片上检测器提高系统整体性能和促进更复杂应用的实现提供了参考。
