Low-dimensional GaAs photodetectors have drawn a great deal of attention because of their unique absorption properties and superior responsivity. However, their slow response speed caused by surface states presents challenges. In this paper, a mixed-dimensional GaAs photodetector is fabricated utilizing a single GaAs nanowire (NW) and a GaAs 2D non-layer sheet (2DNLS). The photodetector exhibits a fast response with a rise time of ~4.7 ms and decay time of ~6.1 ms. The high-speed performance is attributed to an electron transmission channel at the interface between the GaAs NW and GaAs 2DNLS. Furthermore, the fast electron channel is confirmed by eliminating interface states via wet passivation. This work puts forward an effective way to realize a high-speed photodetector by utilizing the surface states of low-dimensional materials.
