Zusammenfassung:A photosensitive field-effect transistor which can be configured to provide an electrical response when illuminated by electromagnetic radiation incident on the transistor. The field-effect transistor has a channel (13) made from a two-dimensional material and comprises a photoactive layer (22) which can be configured to donate charge carriers to the transistor channel (13) when electromagnetic radiation is absorbed in the photoactive layer (22). The photosensitive field-effect transistor comprises a top electrode (21) which is in contact with the photoactive layer on one or more contact areas which together form a contact pattern. With a suitably patterned top electrode (21), a voltage applied to the electrode can function as an electrical shutter which can switch the photosensitive field-effect transistor between a light-sensitive state and a light-immune state.
