Abstract
Al-doped Ga2O3microbelts with widths ranging from 20 to 154μm and lengths up to 2 mm were grown using carbothermal reduction. Based on these ultra-wide microbelts, single-microbelt (37μm wide) and double-microbelts(38μm/42μm wide) metal-semiconductor-metal photoconductive ultraviolet (UV) detectors PDs were fabricated and their optoelectronic performances were investigated at Vacuum-UV (VUV) wavelengths of 185 nm. Under irradiation of 185 nm, the Al-doped Ga2O3PD has a very-high photocurrent (Iph) of 192.07μA and extremely low dark current (Id) of 156 fA at 10 V, and presents a ultra-high light-to-dark current ratio of 1.23 × 109. The responsivity (R), external quantum efficiency (EQE), and detectivity (D*) of the double-microbelts detector device were 1920 A W-1, 9.36 × 105%, and 8.6 × 1016Jones, respectively. Since the bandgap of the Al-doped microbelts becomes wider, and the fabricated detector has weaker sensitivity to radiation in the 254/365 nm wavelengths. Compared with the 254 nm and 365 nm UV cases, the devices under 185 nm VUV show the excellent high selectivity ratios of 1.47 × 106and 1.7× 107, respectively. This paper should provide a new insight on the VUV photodetectors utilizing Ga2O3microbelts.
期刊介绍:
The journal aims to publish papers at the forefront of nanoscale science and technology and especially those of an interdisciplinary nature. Here, nanotechnology is taken to include the ability to individually address, control, and modify structures, materials and devices with nanometre precision, and the synthesis of such structures into systems of micro- and macroscopic dimensions such as MEMS based devices. It encompasses the understanding of the fundamental physics, chemistry, biology and technology of nanometre-scale objects and how such objects can be used in the areas of computation, sensors, nanostructured materials and nano-biotechnology.
