Broadband spectrum detectors exhibit great promise in fields such as multispectral imaging and optical communications. Despite significant progress, challenges like materials instability in such devices, complex manufacturing process, and high cost still hinder their further application. Here, we present a method that achieves broadband spectral detection by impurity-level in SrSnO 3 . We report over 500 mA/W photoresponsivity at 275 nm (ultraviolet C solar-bind) and 367 nm (ultraviolet A) and ∼60 mA/W photoresponsivity at 532 and 700 nm (visible) with a voltage bias of -5 V. Further transport and photoluminescence results reveal a new phase transition at 88 K, which would significantly affect the impurity level of the La-doped SrSnO 3 film, indicating that the broadband response attributes to the impurity levels and mutual interactions. Additionally, the photodetector demonstrates excellent robustness and stability under repeated tests and prolonged exposure in air. These findings show the potential of SrSnO 3 as a material for photodetectors and propose a method to achieve broadband spectrum detection, creating new possibility for the development of single-phase, low-cost, simple structure, and high-efficiency photodetectors.
