The hybridization of 2D materials and colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) has been demonstrated to be an ideal platform for infrared photodetectors due to the high mobility of 2D materials and the excellent light harvesting capability of CQDs. However, the realization of ambipolar, broadband, and room-temperature graphene–quantum dot phototransistors with complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) compatibility remains challenging. Here N, S codecorated graphene is deposited with PbS CQDs to fabricate a hybrid phototransistor on a silicon dioxide/silicon gate. The resulting device demonstrates a gate-tuneable ambipolar feature with a low gate bias of less than 3.3 V at room temperature in ambient. Broadband spectra from visible to near-infrared and to short wave infrared (SWIR) light can be detected with gain value of up to 10 5 and a fast response of 3 ms. Upon illumination by SWIR light at 1550 nm, the phototransistor exhibits an ultrahigh responsivity that is on the order of 10 4 AW −1 and a specific detectivity that is on the order of 10 12 Jones with a low driving voltage of 1 V. This decorated hybrid architecture illustrates the potential of graphene and CQDs to be integrated with silicon integrated circuits and opens a new path toward ambipolar photodetector fabrication.

Silicon nanowire (SiNW) field-effect transistors (FETs) have been developed as various bio/chemical sensors due to their high sensitivity as a result of the huge surface-to-volume ratios. This paper presents a CMOS compatible sidewall mask technology (SMT) for top-down fabrication of SiNWs and a highly sensitive pH sensor based on SiNW FETs. The essence of SMT is to use stand-alone vertical sidewalls of a conformal thin film, fabricated by anisotropically etching away the planar part of the thin film deposited on a thin mesa, as hard masks for SiNW etching. As the feature size of the sidewalls, depending on the film thickness rather than lithography, can be controlled readily to tens to hundreds of nanometers by tailoring the film thickness, SMT allows high output and low cost fabrication of SiNWs without need of advanced lithography facilities. Complete SMT processes have been developed for fabrication of SiNW FETs, and pH sensors using SiNW FETs have been realized. Measurement results show that the pH sensors have good static characteristics and transient performance, and the sensitivity reaches 54.5 mV/pH for a wide range of pH values from 1 to 12, approaching the theoretical Nernstian limit.

In this work, gigahertz solidly mounted resonators (SMRs) (2.5 GHz) were designed and fabricated to construct a novel particle-resonator system to achieve the biomolecular stiffness sensing in real time. The positive frequency shift of the system was used to estimate the stiffness of biomolecules connecting between the SMR and attached particles. The working principle was revealed by the mathematical analysis of the general block-spring model of the system. Further interpretations about the mechanism of such elastic interaction from the perspective of acoustic resonant modes of SMRs were given by finite element method. Biotin-streptavidin, antibody and antigen binding system were used as model molecular linkers to study the frequency shift varied with different particle diameters and particle densities. Different linker stiffness was realized by adjusting the concentrations of antigens connected with particles which form specific binding with antibodies immobilized on the SMR. The results fairly agree with the simulation results demonstrating the proposed particle-resonator system as an effective method to realize the real-time biomolecular stiffness detection.

Integrated circuit anti-counterfeiting based on optical physical unclonable functions (PUFs) plays a crucial role in guaranteeing secure identification and authentication for Internet of Things (IoT) devices. While considerable efforts have been devoted to exploring optical PUFs, two critical challenges remain: incompatibility with the complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology and limited information entropy. Here, we demonstrate all-silicon multidimensionally-encoded optical PUFs fabricated by integrating silicon (Si) metasurface and erbium-doped Si quantum dots (Er-Si QDs) with a CMOS-compatible procedure. Five in-situ optical responses have been manifested within a single pixel, rendering an ultrahigh information entropy of 2.32 bits/pixel. The position-dependent optical responses originate from the position-dependent radiation field and Purcell effect. Our evaluation highlights their potential in IoT security through advanced metrics like bit uniformity, similarity, intra- and inter-Hamming distance, false-acceptance and rejection rates, and encoding capacity. We finally demonstrate the implementation of efficient lightweight mutual authentication protocols for IoT applications by using the all-Si multidimensionally-encoded optical PUFs.
