South Korea develops next-generation nano-semiconductor image sensor

The Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) recently announced that it has collaborated with Yonsei University to develop a novel hybrid spatial double-layer structure. This innovative design combines two-dimensional tungsten selenide (WSeâ‚‚) nano-single chips with one-dimensional zinc oxide (ZnO) semiconductor nanowires, enabling the photodiode device to detect light ranging from ultraviolet to near-infrared wavelengths. The research findings were published in the prestigious international journal Advanced Functional Materials.

Low-dimensional nano-semiconductor components are considered essential for next-generation electronic devices, offering great potential in advanced semiconductor technologies. In this study, the research team utilized two-dimensional WSeâ‚‚, which exhibits excellent light response performance and high hole mobility, making it an ideal P-type semiconductor material. On the other hand, one-dimensional ZnO nanowires are known for their high electron mobility and have been widely studied for their potential in N-type semiconductor applications.

By combining these two materials, the researchers created a mixed-dimensional space structure, forming a PN junction-like configuration. This unique hybrid design enables the development of highly efficient photodiode elements. The team emphasized that their work successfully demonstrated the ability to capture two-dimensional images, opening up new possibilities for future image sensor technologies.

With its broad range of detection capabilities and high performance, this new photodiode technology is expected to play a significant role in the next generation of imaging systems, potentially revolutionizing fields such as optical sensing, medical imaging, and high-resolution cameras.
