The results show that the lateral photovoltage of the heterojunction is strongly dependent on the thickness of Bi2Te3 layer. With the increase of the thickness, the lateral photovoltage first increases rapidly to an extreme value, and then decreases gradually. When measured at different wavelengths and laser power, it is found that the heterojunction has a wide response band of 405—808 nm, and the position sensitivity increases with an increase of laser power and finally tends to reach saturation. Among them, the heterojunction shows the best lateral photovoltaic response at 671 nm, and the maximum position sensitivity reaches 3.4×10-2 V/mm. This result provides an important experimental basis for the development of Bi2Te3 based high sensitivity and broad band light position sensitive detector.
