- Abstract
Abstract: This study shows that the deep‐level defect states in sol‐gel‐derived ZnO can be efficiently restored by facile sulfur doping chemistry, wherein the +2 charged oxygen vacancies are filled with the S2− ions brought by thiocyanate. By fabricating a solution‐processed polymeric Schottky diode with ITO/ZnO as the cathode, the synergetic effects of such defect‐restored ZnO electron selective layers are demonstrated. The decreased chemical defects and thus reduced mid‐gap states enable to not only enlarge the effective built‐in potential, which can expand the width of the depletion region, but also increase the Schottky energy barrier, which can reduce undesired dark‐current injection. As a result, the demonstrated simple‐structure blue‐selective polymeric Schottky photodiode renders near‐ideal diode operation with an ideality factor of 1.18, a noise equivalent power of 1.25 × 10−14 W Hz−1/2, and a high peak detectivity of 2.4 × 1013 Jones. In addition, the chemical robustness of sulfur‐doped ZnO enables exceptional device stability against air exposure as well as device‐to‐device reproducibility. Therefore, this work opens the possibility of utilizing low‐temperature sol‐gel‐derived ZnO in realizing high‐performance, stable, and reliable organic photodiodes that could be employed in the design of practical image sensors.
