We report the demonstration of plasmonic titanium nitride (TiN) for fabrication an efficient hybrid photodetector. A novel synthesis method based on plasma nanotechnology is utilized producing air stable polymerized aniline-TiN (PPA-TiN) nanocomposite and its integration in photodetector geometry. The device performs as a self-powered detector that responds to ultraviolet visible light at zero bias. has advantage broadband absorption outcomes enhanced photoresponse including high responsivity detectivity under low conditions. This work opens up new direction TiN-based exploitation optoelectronic applications imaging, light-wave communication wire-free route artificial vision.
