Abstract

Abstract Semiconductor‐based photodetectors (PDs) convert light signals into electrical signals via the photoelectric effect, which involves the generation, separation, and transportation of the photoinduced charge carriers, as well as the extraction of these charge carriers to external circuits. Because of their specific electronic and optoelectronic properties, metal oxide semiconductors are widely used building blocks in photoelectric devices. However, the compromise between enhancing the photoresponse and reducing the rise/decay times limits the practical applications of PDs based on metal oxide semiconductors. As the behaviors of the charge carriers play important roles in the photoelectric conversion…
