Enhanced photocurrent is demonstrated in a junction-less photodetector with nanowires embedded in its channel. The fabricated photodetector consists of a large area for efficient absorption of incident light with energy band engineering achieved in nanowires. The structure design consists of a set of two symmetrically positioned gates, primary and secondary, that are located over the nanowires. Each gate is used for biasing and control of the charge flow. We find that detectors with narrower nanowires controlled by their secondary gate generate larger photocurrents under similar illumination conditions. Our results show that while the dark current remains the same, the photocurrent increases as the nanowire width decreases.
