The width of p- and i-regions has been optimized to the best theoretic values. It is indicated that the changing of responsivity with increase of bias can not be attributed to the expansion of depletion layer as it is believed, but to two reasons: 1) the effect of GaN/AlGaN heterojunction barrier to block the electrons decreases with higher bias and 2) the recombination rate of excess carriers decreases due to the building up of an electric field in depletion region. At zero bias, the simulated responsivity reaches its maximum of 0.12 A/W with quantum efficiency of 55.1%. The measured peak responsivity is more than 0.09 A/W with quantum efficiency greater than 41.6%. The experimental data are almost consistent with the results of the simulation.展开更多

The IR photodiode is designed for compensating the photocurrent response of the UV photodiode in the infrared band and is 15 times smaller than the UV one. The integrated photodetector has been fabricated in a 0.35 μm standard CMOS technology.

Test results show that the complementary UV–IR photodetector has a maximum spectral responsivity of 0.27 A·W-1 at the wavelength of 400 nm. The device has a high UV selectivity of 3000,which is much higher than that of the single UV photodiode.展开更多

Because of its ultrawide bandgap, low cost, strong radiation hardness, and high thermal and chemical stability with high visible-light transparency, Ga_2O_3 is regarded as the most promising candidate for UV detection.Furthermore, the bandgap of Ga_2O_3 is as high as 4.7–4.9 eV, directly corresponding to the solar-blind UV detection band with wavelength less than 280 nm. There is no need of doping in Ga_2O_3 to tune its bandgap, compared to AlGaN, MgZnO,etc, thereby avoiding alloy composition fluctuations and phase separation. At present, solar-blind Ga_2O_3 photodetectors based on single crystal or amorphous Ga_2O_3 are mainly focused on metal–semiconductor–metal and Schottky photodiodes.In this work, the recent achievements of Ga_2O_3 photodetectors are systematically reviewed. The characteristics and performances of different photodetector structures based on single crystal Ga_2O_3 and amorphous Ga_2O_3 thin film are analyzed and compared. Finally, the prospects of Ga_2O_3 UV photodetectors are forecast.展开更多

文摘We report fabrication and characterization of organic heterojunction UV detectors based on N,N'-bis(naphthalen- 1-y1)-N,N'-bis (phenyl) benzidine (NPB) and fullerene C60. The effects of different thicknesses of NPB and C60 layers are studied and compared. Notably, the optimal thicknesses of electron acceptor C60 and electron donor NPB are 40 nm and 80 nm, respectively. The J V characteristic curves of the device demonstrate a three-order- of-magnitude difference when illuminated under a 350nm UV light and in the dark at -0.5 V. The device exhibits high sensitivity in the region of 320-380nm with the peak located around 35Onm. Especially, it shows excellent photo-response characteristic with a responsivity as high as 315 mA/W under the illumination of 192μW.cm 2 350nm UV light at -5 V. These results indicate that the NPB/C60 heterojunction structure device might be used as low-cost low-voltage UV photodetectors.

文摘A novel integrated ultraviolet(UV) photodetector has been proposed, which realizes a high UV selectivity by combining a conventional UV-selective photodiode with an extra infrared(IR) photodiode. The IR photodiode is designed for compensating the photocurrent response of the UV photodiode in the infrared band and is 15 times smaller than the UV one. The integrated photodetector has been fabricated in a 0.35 μm standard CMOS technology. Some critical performance indices of this new structure photodetector, such as spectral responsivity, breakdown voltage, quenching waveform, and transient response, are measured and analyzed. Test results show that the complementary UV–IR photodetector has a maximum spectral responsivity of 0.27 A·W-1 at the wavelength of 400 nm. The device has a high UV selectivity of 3000,which is much higher than that of the single UV photodiode.

文摘Ultraviolet(UV) photodetectors(PDs) have drawn great attention in recent years due to their potential application in civil and military fields. Because of its ultrawide bandgap, low cost, strong radiation hardness, and high thermal and chemical stability with high visible-light transparency, Ga_2O_3 is regarded as the most promising candidate for UV detection.Furthermore, the bandgap of Ga_2O_3 is as high as 4.7–4.9 eV, directly corresponding to the solar-blind UV detection band with wavelength less than 280 nm. There is no need of doping in Ga_2O_3 to tune its bandgap, compared to AlGaN, MgZnO,etc, thereby avoiding alloy composition fluctuations and phase separation. At present, solar-blind Ga_2O_3 photodetectors based on single crystal or amorphous Ga_2O_3 are mainly focused on metal–semiconductor–metal and Schottky photodiodes.In this work, the recent achievements of Ga_2O_3 photodetectors are systematically reviewed. The characteristics and performances of different photodetector structures based on single crystal Ga_2O_3 and amorphous Ga_2O_3 thin film are analyzed and compared. Finally, the prospects of Ga_2O_3 UV photodetectors are forecast.

文摘A self-powered ultraviolet photodetector(UV PD)with van der Waals(vdW)Schottky junction based on TiO_(2) nanorod arrays/Au-modulated V2 CTx MXene is reported.The Schottky junction enables the device to operate in self-powered mode.The dangling bond-free surface of V2 CTx MXene reduces the charge recombination at the junction interface.Meanwhile,V2 CTx MXene,with the work function(WF)increasing to 5.35 eV,forms a hole transport layer by contacting with Au electrode,which facilitates the carrier extraction.The electron lifetime in the device has prolonged to 8.95μs.As a result,the responsivity and detectivity of the PD have achieved 28 mA/W and 1.2×10^(11) cm Hz1/2/W(340 nm,65 mW/cm2,0 V),respectively.In addition,the presence of the Au electrode prevents the vanadium from coming into contact with oxygen and oxidizing,preserving the properties of the V2 CTx films.After 180 days of exposure to the atmosphere,the device performance remained at a particularly high level,indicating enhanced durability.This work points out an effective approach to modulate the properties of V2 CTx to obtain the high performance and stability of the UV PD.

文摘A two-dimensional model of a 4H-SiC metal-semiconductor-metal(MSM) ultraviolet photodetector has been established using a self-consistent numerical calculation method.The structure-dependent spectral response of a 4H-SiC MSM detector is calculated by solving Poisson's equation,the current continuity equation and the current density equation.The calculated results are verified with experimental data.With consideration of the reflection and absorption on the metal contacts,a detailed study involving various electrode heights(H),spacings (S) and widths(W) reveals conclusive results in device design.The mechanisms responsible for variations of responsivity with those parameters are analyzed.The findings show that responsivity is inversely proportional to electrode height and is enhanced with an increase of electrode spacing and width.In addition,the ultraviolet (UV)-to-visible rejection ratio is 103.By optimizing the device structure at 10 V bias,a responsivity as high as 180.056 mA/W,a comparable quantum efficiency of 77.93%and a maximum UV-to-visible rejection ratio of 1875 are achieved with a detector size of H = 50 nm,S =9μm and W = 3μm.

文摘Organic photochromic materials have drawn considerable attention for their potential applications in large-scale and low-cost optoelectronics owing to unique tunable physicochemical properties.For organic photodetectors,photochromic materials have realized optical and electrical engineering of semiconductor layers,which incorporate not only tunable performance,but also functionalities to optoelectronic devices.However,the essential challenge is to assemble large-area photochromic micro-and nanostructure arrays with controllable geometry and precise alignment,which restricts the integration of multifunctional optoelectronic devices.Herein,we fabricate organic photochromic one-dimensional(1D)arrays via a feasible solution process through the confined crystallization of organic molecules.By modulating and controlling the photoisomerization behaviors,these 1D photochromic arrays possess broad spectral tunability,which ensure tunable photoresponse.Furthermore,we investigate the crystallographic transition and electronic performance variation of these 1D photochromic arrays.By adjusting the dwell time of ultraviolet(UV)irradiation,the UV photochromic photodetectors realize tunable and repeatable responsivity from 85.6 to 0.709 mA/W.Our work provides new possibilities for optical and electrical engineering of photochromic microwires towards the integration of multifunctional optoelectronic devices.

文摘A novel semicircular electrode metal-semiconductor-metal(SEMSM) ultraviolet detector is modeled, investigated and characterized with a self-consistent numerical calculation method.For the purpose of model and performance verification,a comprehensive comparison of the SEMSM detector and a conventional electrode MSM detector is carried out with experimental data.The results indicate that the physical models are able to predict the enhanced device features.Moreover,the structural parameters have been adjusted appropriately to optimize the SEMSM detector.The findings show that a device with a 2μm finger radius and 3 /mi spacing exhibits outstanding characteristics in terms of a peak responsivity of 0.177 A/W at 290 nm,a maximum external quantum efficiency of over 75%,and a comparable normalized photocurrent to dark current ratio of 1.192×10^(-1) W^(-1) at 0.3 V bias. These results demonstrate that the SEMSM detector has excellent performance for optoelectronic integrated circuit applications.
文摘Back-illuminated AlxGal-xN-based dual-band solar-blind ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors (PDs) are realized by a three-terminal n-i-p-i-n heterojunction structure which is grown on sapphire substrate by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The two p-i-n junctions contained in the heterojunction structure can work separately and independently. Working in the photovoltaic mode, the PDs display peak responsivity of ~10.8 mA/W at 242 nm and ~5.0 mA/W at 257 nm, respectively. The two junctions with different size, whose diameters are 500 μm and 800 μm, exhibit almost the same leakage current of ~1.3× 10-9 A at a reverse bias of 10 V. Therefore, dark current densities of the two junctions are close to 6.6 × 10-7 A/cm2 and 2.6 × 10-7 A/cm2 at -10 V respectively.
