Abstract

ABSTRACT On‐chip computational spectrometers hold significant promise for developing integrated optoelectronic systems by eliminating the need for bulky dispersive components. 2D van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures provide a compelling platform for such miniaturized devices; however, the fabrication complexity and unavoidable interfacial defects severely hamper their application. There is a growing need for simplified device architectures with universal modulation strategies. Here, we demonstrate a miniature computational spectrometer based on a single 2D semiconductor phototransistor via vdW contact. This approach effectively suppresses Fermi‐level pinning, allowing dynamic modulation of Schottky barriers and distinct wavelength‐dependent anti‐ambipolar photoresponse. The device has a small footprint of ∼73 µm 2 and accurately reconstructs both monochromatic and broadband spectra across the visible range (380–680 nm), achieving an average reconstruction accuracy of ~0.75 nm and a spectral resolution below 10 nm. This universal architecture offers a promising pathway toward ultra‐compact hyperspectral imaging, spectroscopic sensing, and on‐chip optoelectronic integration.
