摘要：

We present the first internal photoemission response of a metal-Si-metal heterostructure. Using the Pt/Si/ErSi1.7 system, we show that the photoresponse of this new device can be strongly modified when a bias of a few hundred mV is applied between the two metallic electrodes: the cutoff wavelength is shifted from 1.4-mu-m to above 5-mu-m, and the quantum efficiency is increased up to 5% at 1.2-mu-m wavelength when a positive bias is applied to the front Pt electrode. These dramatic changes are attributed to a modulation of the effective potential barrier experienced by the photoexcited carriers when crossing the Si film.
