High-performance solar-blind photodetector arrays constructed from Sn-doped Ga_(2)O_(3)microwires via patterned electrodes

Ga_(2)O_(3)has been regarded as a promising material for solar-blind detection due to its ultrawide bandgap and low growth cost.Although semiconductor microwires(MWs)possess unique optical and electronic characteristics,the performances of photodetectors developed from Ga_(2)O_(3)MWs are still less than satisfactory.Herein,we demonstrate high-performance solar-blind photodetectors based on Sn-doped Ga_(2)O_(3)MWs,possessing a light/dark current ratio of 107 and a responsivity of 2,409 A/W at 40 V.Moreover,a 1×10 solar-blind photodetector linear array is developed based on the Sn-doped Ga_(2)O_(3)MWs via a patternedelectrodes method.And clear solar-blind images are obtained by using the photodetector array as the imaging unit of a solarblind imaging system.The results provide a convenient way to construct high-performance solar-blind photodetector arrays based on Ga_(2)O_(3)MWs,and thus may push forward their future applications.
