Semi-floating gate transistors based on vdW materials are often used in memory and programmable logic applications. In this paper, we propose a semi-floating gate photoelectric p-n junction transistor structure which is stacked by InSe/h-BN/Gr. By modulating gate voltage, InSe can be presented as N-type and P-type respectively on different substrates, and then combined into p-n junction. Moreover, InSe/h-BN/Gr device can be switched freely between N-type resistance and p-n junction. The resistance value of InSe resistor and the photoelectric properties of the p-n junction are also sensitively modulated by laser. Under dark conditions, the rectification ratio of p-n junction can be as high as 10. After laser modulation, the device has a response up to 1.154 × 10A W, a detection rate up to 5.238 × 10Jones, an external quantum efficiency of 5.435 × 10%, and a noise equivalent power as low as 1.262 × 10W/Hz. It lays a foundation for the development of high sensitivity and fast response rate tunable photoelectric p-n junction transistor.

Superlinear photodetectors hold significant potential in intelligent optical detection systems, such as near-field imaging. However, their current realization imposes stringent requirements on photosensitive materials, thereby limiting the flexibility of the device integration for practical applications. Herein, a tunable superlinear GaO deep-ultraviolet gate-all-around (GAA) phototransistor based on a p-n heterojunction has been proposed.

Hard entropy limits of impurity doping prevent further miniaturization of low nanoscale silicon-based very large scale integration (VLSI) devices, thereby obstructing the path toward more energy-efficient VLSI designs with higher yield in compute power. As demonstrated here by synchrotron UV photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy in total fluorescence yield mode (XAS-TFY), intrinsic Si at the bottom of the nanoscale (i-nano-Si) turns into strong p- or n-Si by embedding in silicon nitride (SiN) or silicon dioxide (SiO), respectively. The associated Nanoscale Electronic Structure Shift Induced by Anions at Surfaces (NESSIAS) creates a p/n junction in i-nano-Si by the quantum-chemical impact of SiN- vs SiO-coating, providing energy landscapes to accumulate electrons (holes) when SiO- (SiN-) coated, with free charge carriers provided by metallic interconnects.

The continuous miniaturization of semiconductor nanodevices necessitates advanced characterization techniques to probe their internal electrostatic potential under operational conditions. Off-axis electron holography (EH) enables quantitative mapping of phase shifts induced by electrostatic potentials, yet its application in operando transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is hindered by focused ion beam (FIB)-induced surface artifacts, such as amorphized layers and charge trapping, which distort the potential landscape, in addition to long-range electric stray fields. This study introduces an extended multilayer framework to efficiently model 3D electrostatic potential distributions in such FIB-prepared TEM-lamellae.

Sensitization of wide bandgap semiconductors by coupling with a low-band-gap semiconductor to improve photoinduced charge carrier separation by the built-in electric field is one of the attractive approaches to develop an efficient photocatalyst. Here we present the development of Ag-ZnMnO/exfoliated g-CN (Ag-ZMO/ECN), a novel photocatalyst designed to remove an inorganic pollutant Cr(VI) under direct solar light irradiation. The enhanced performance of Ag-ZMO/ECN is attributed to efficient charge separation, facilitated by the formation of a p-n junction at the interface of narrow-bandgap p-type ZMO and n-type ECN, and the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect of the deposited Ag nanoparticles.

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs), crystalline solids consisting of organic ligands and metal ions, have attracted increasing interest in various areas, including catalysis and biology. Functionalizable pore interiors and ultrahigh surface-to-volume ratios of MOFs make them excellent materials, especially for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) by the photoinduced charge transfer (PICT) between the MOFs and adsorbed molecules for SERS signal amplification. In our previous work, we demonstrated a p-n junction-assisted MOF substrate for enhancing the SERS signal through additional charge transfer, while the notable structural characteristics of MOFs benefit the SERS selectivity.
