The present invention provides a
tin selenide thin film transverse
thermoelectric effect-based light and
heat detector. The
detector comprises a detecting element,
metal electrodes and a
metal lead; the detecting element comprises an
oxide single-
crystal substrate and a
tin selenide single-
crystal thin film which is deposited on the
oxide single-
crystal substrate and is obtained through c-axis inclined growth; and the two
metal electrodes are symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the
tin selenide single-crystal thin film, wherein the
metal electrodes are connected with the input end of a
voltmeter through metal conductors. According to the
tin selenide thin film transverse
thermoelectric effect-based light and
heat detector of the invention, a binary material, that is,
tin selenide, is deposited on the substrate through a
pulsed laser deposition technology, so that the
tin selenide single-crystal thin film formed through c-axis inclined growth is obtained; and the light and
heat detector is fabricated through using the lateral
thermoelectric effect of the tin selenide single-crystal thin film. The detecting element of the
detector has the advantages of simple structure, noneed for cooling and pressure biasing components, simple preparation process and low cost. The light and heat
detector is wide in response band, is high in detection sensitivity, has excellent detecting performance under
continuous light irradiation, and can achieve simultaneous light and
heat detection.
