摘要

Chalcogenide perovskites such as BaZrS3 are promising candidates for next generation optoelectronics such as photodetectors and solar cells. Compared to widely studied polycrystalline thin films, single crystals of BaZrS3 with minimal extended and point defects, are ideal platform to study the material’s intrinsic transport properties and to make first-generation optoelectronic devices. However, the surface dielectrics formed on BaZrS3 single crystals due to sulfation or oxidation have led to significant challenges to achieving high-quality electrical contacts, and hence, realizing the high-performance optoelectronic devices. Here, we report the development of electrical contact fabrication processes on BaZrS3 single crystals, where various processes were employed to address the surface dielectric issue. Moreover, with optimized electrical contacts fabricated through dry etching, high-performance BaZrS3 photoconductive devices with a low dark current of 0.1 nA at 10 V bias and a fast transient photoresponse with rise and decay time of < 0.2 s were demonstrated.
