The development of imaging technology and optical communication demands a photodetector with high responsiveness. As demonstrated by microfabrication nanofabrication advancements, recent progress in plasmonic sensor technologies can address this need. However, these photodetectors have low absorption ineffective charge carrier transport efficiency. Sb2Se3 is light-sensitive material coefficient, making it suitable for applications. We developed an efficient, scalable, low-cost near-infrared...
