We report on the wafer-level fabrication and a quantitative analysis of the light detection properties of carbon-nanotube field-effect transistor (CNT-FET) arrays. We determine parameter ranges for the optical and electrical properties for achieving relevant photocurrents (> 100 pA) and responsivities (~ 1 uA/W). Aside of the dynamic range of the sensor devices, the noise-equivalent power varies clearly with the applied source-drain voltages. Local intensity scans of the sensor response (source-drain current as a function of the locus of incidence) along the transistor channel reveal the fundamental Schottky behavior of the device related to the CNT-metal contacts. The results are reported for two batches of CNT-FETs varying the number of semiconducting CNTs as transistor channel. Especially the illumination of FETs with high-density CNT transistor channels show a smoothing of their transfer characteristics. Illumination of single-CNT channels shows signs of power dissipation. The influence of a CNT sidewalls functionalization with metal nanoparticles acting as light-sensitive floating gates is discussed as well.
