摘要

Polycrystalline diamond-based photodetectors exhibit significant potential for deep ultraviolet (UV) detection, yet their performance is constrained by grain boundary-induced carrier recombination and inefficient near-UV photon absorption. Here, we report a diamond/tungsten trioxide (WO3) heterostructure photodetector that achieves dual-band UV detection enhancement via synergistic band engineering. By integrating WO3 onto polycrystalline diamond, the heterostructure overcomes intrinsic limitations of diamond devices. It exhibits a high specific detectivity of 6.16 × 108 Jones at 365 nm, which is 21.7 times higher than diamond device. Moreover, it features fast photoresponse speed (0.72 s) and ultralow photocurrent fluctuation (1.02%). Leveraging a Type-II band alignment, it achieves pronounced light/dark current ratios of 6.79 (222 nm) and 78.17 (365 nm). These values represent enhancements of 5.6-fold and 59.1-fold respectively, compared to pristine diamond. The practical viability of diamond/WO3 heterostructure photodetector is validated through optical communication and high-resolution imaging. This work provides an effective strategy to construct high-performance diamond-based optoelectronic devices toward optical communication and imaging systems.
