    Graphene Schottky Junction on Pillar Patterned Silicon Substrate
    (Basel : MDPI, 2019) Luongo, Giuseppe; Grillo, Alessandro; Giubileo, Filippo; Iemmo, Laura; Lukosius, Mindaugas; Chavarin, Carlos Alvarado; Wenger, Christian; Di Bartolomeo, Antonio
    A graphene/silicon junction with rectifying behaviour and remarkable photo-response was fabricated by transferring a graphene monolayer on a pillar-patterned Si substrate. The device forms a 0.11 eV Schottky barrier with 2.6 ideality factor at room temperature and exhibits strongly biasand temperature-dependent reverse current. Below room temperature, the reverse current grows exponentially with the applied voltage because the pillar-enhanced electric field lowers the Schottky barrier. Conversely, at higher temperatures, the charge carrier thermal generation is dominant and the reverse current becomes weakly bias-dependent. A quasi-saturated reverse current is similarly observed at room temperature when the charge carriers are photogenerated under light exposure. The device shows photovoltaic effect with 0.7% power conversion efficiency and achieves 88 A/W photoresponsivity when used as photodetector. © 2019 by the authors.

    Optical biosensors based on silicon-on-insulator ring resonators: A review
    (Basel : MDPI, 2019) Steglich, Patrick; Hülsemann, Marcel; Dietzel, Birgit; Mai, Andreas
    Recent developments in optical biosensors based on integrated photonic devices are reviewed with a special emphasis on silicon-on-insulator ring resonators. The review is mainly devoted to the following aspects: (1) Principles of sensing mechanism, (2) sensor design, (3) biofunctionalization procedures for specific molecule detection and (4) system integration and measurement set-ups. The inherent challenges of implementing photonics-based biosensors to meet specific requirements of applications in medicine, food analysis, and environmental monitoring are discussed. © 2019 by the authors.
