In this study, a high-photoresponsivity self-powered deep ultraviolet (DUV) photodetector based on an AgO/β-GaO heterojunction was fabricated by depositing a p-type AgO thin film onto an n-type β-GaO layer. The device characteristics after post-annealing at temperatures ranging from 0 to 400 °C were investigated. Our DUV devices exhibited typical rectification characteristics. At a post-annealing temperature of 300 °C, the as-fabricated device had a low leakage current of 4.24 × 10 A, ideality factor of 2.08, and a barrier height of 1.12 eV. Moreover, a high photo-responsivity of 12.87 mA/W was obtained at a 100 μW/cm light intensity at a 254 nm wavelength at zero bias voltage, the detectivity was 2.70 × 10 Jones, and the rise and fall time were 29.76, 46.73 ms, respectively. Based on these results, the AgO/β-GaO heterojunction photodetector operates without an externally applied voltage and has high responsivity, which will help in the performance improvement of ultraviolet sensing systems.
在本研究中,通过在n型β-GaO层上沉积p型AgO薄膜,制备了一种基于AgO/β-GaO异质结的高光响应自供电深紫外(DUV)光电探测器。研究了在0至400°C温度范围内退火后的器件特性。我们的深紫外器件表现出典型的整流特性。在300°C的退火温度下,制备的器件具有4.24×10 A的低漏电流、2.08的理想因子和1.12 eV的势垒高度。此外,在零偏压下,在254 nm波长、100 μW/cm的光强下获得了12.87 mA/W的高光响应率,探测率为2.70×10琼斯,上升和下降时间分别为29.76、46.73 ms。基于这些结果,AgO/β-GaO异质结光电探测器无需外部施加电压即可工作,且具有高响应率,这将有助于提高紫外传感系统的性能。
