How the electron, photon detectors in double slit experiments work?
The most common detector is a photomultiplier (PM) tube.

Another common detector is an Avalanche Photo Diode (APD).

Does that answer your question, or did I miss your point?

Didn't Young use a piece of paper and his eyes?

Rhodopsin, retinal, rod cells, and membrane chemistry might be a more
technical answer along those lines. For best results with this equipment,
you should use a photon source in the 500 nm region.

Well, yes, that is true! Perhaps I've been focusing too much on the
single photon in the apparatus at a time experiments. You can
certainly demonstrate the interference fringes using any photosenstive
detector: film, photodiode, CCD camera, even eyball if the source is
intense enough and in the visible EM spectrum.
