The ZnO thin film was grown on glass substrate by thermal oxidation of preeposited zinc films using vacuum deposition technique. With applied voltage in the range from -3V to 3V, the contrast ratio, responsivity, and detectivity for an incident radiation of 0.1 mW at 365 nm wavelength were estimated. The proposed device exhibited a high gain which was attributed to the hole trapping at semiconductor-metal interface. I-V characteristics were studied and the parameters, such as ideality factor, leakage current, resistance-areaproduct, and barrier height, were extracted from the measured data.展开更多
