چکیده

Wide-bandgap semiconductors such as zinc selenide (ZnSe) have become popular for ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors due to their broad UV spectral response. Schottky barrier detectors made of ZnSe in particular have been shown to have both low dark current and high responsivity. This paper presents the results of electrical and optical characterization of UV sensors based on ZnSe/Ni Schottky diodes fabricated using single-crystal ZnSe substrate with integrated UV-A (320–400 nm) and UV-B (280–320 nm) filters. For comparison, characteristics characterization of an unfiltered detector is also included. The measured photoresponse showed good discrimination between the two spectral bands. The measured responsivities of the UV-A and UV-B detectors were 50 mA/W and 10 mA/W, respectively. A detector without a UV filter showed a maximum responsivity of about 110 mA/W at 375 nm wavelength. The speed of the unfiltered detector was found to be about 300 kHz primarily limited by the RC time constant determined largely by the detector area.

Ultraviolet detectors based on annealed zinc oxide thin films: epitaxial growth and physical characterizations

In this report, ultraviolet (UV) detectors were fabricated based on zinc oxide thin films. The epitaxial growth of zinc oxide thin films was carried out on bare glass substrate with preferred orientation to (002) plane of wurtzite structure through radio frequency sputtering technique. The structural properties indicated a dominant peak at 2θ=34.28º which was matched with JCPDS reference card N...

High spectral response of self-driven GaN-based detectors by controlling the contact barrier height

The GaN-based material system is well suited to application as a photodetector material for operation in the 200–365 nm wavelength range because of its tunable wide direct bandgap. In addition, photodetectors made using this material system also have the advantages of being solid-state and small in size, with good chemical and thermal stability, thereby saving energy in operation and having lon...
