Fabrication and Characterization of Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 Based Metal-Semiconductor-Metal Photodetector

Abstract

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 is used for the fabrication of thin film photodetector, which is synthesized via the sol-gel chemical route. The prepared hybrid perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 thin film are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), high resolution scanning electron microscope (HRSEM), photoluminescence. XRD result confirmed the formation of the tetragonal phase of CH3NH3PbI3 with crystallite size 15.7 nm. HRSEM image of hybrid perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 thin film confirmed the uniform distribution of particles and average particle size 30 nm. An efficient photoluminescence band is observed at 1.59 eV in hybrid perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 thin films at ambient temperature when excited with 405 nm wavelength light. Finally, the hybrid perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 thin film is investigated for electrical and optical response using fabricated metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photodetector. © 2018 IEEE.
