Organic vs. standard photodetectors : Mini Review

Organic semiconductors (OSCs) have been found to be a prominent group of optoelectronic materials extensively researched for more than 40 years due to their ability to tune capabilities by modifying chemical structure and simple processing. Their performance has been significantly improved, advancing from the fast development in the design and synthesis of new OSC materials. This paper attempts to essentially confront the performance of organic photodetectors with standard detectors dominating the global commercial market. Special attention was paid to the organic field-effect transistor (FET) phototransistors detectivity overestimates.
