Burgeoning two-dimensional (2D) materials provide more opportunities to overcome the shortcomings of silicon-based photodetectors. However, the inevitable carrier loss in the 2D material/Si heterojunction has seriously hindered further improvement in responsivity and detection speed. Here, we propose a graphene/PtSe2/ultra-thin SiO2/Si photodetector (PD) with multiple optimization mechanisms. Due to the fact that photo-generated carriers can travel in the graphene plane toward the Au electrode, the introduction of a top graphene contact with low sheet resistance provides a carrier collection path in the vertical direction and further restricts the carrier recombination behavior at the lateral grain boundary of PtSe2 film. The ultra-thin SiO2 passivation layer reduces the defects at the PtSe2/Si heterojunction interface. As compared to the counterpart device without the graphene top contact, the responsivity, specific detectivity, and response speed of graphene/PtSe2/ultra-thin SiO2/Si PD under 808 nm illumination are improved to 0.572 A/W, 1.50 × 1011 Jones, and 17.3/38.8 µs, respectively. The device can detect broad-spectrum optical signals as measured from 375 nm to 1550 nm under zero bias. The PD line array with 16-pixel units shows good near-infrared imaging ability at room temperature. Our study will provide guiding significance for how to improve the comprehensive properties of PDs based on 2D/Si heterostructure for practical applications.
