Fast Speed Ga2O3 Solar-blind Schottky Photodiodes with Large Sensitive Area

We reported on a fast-speed and self-powered $\beta $ -Ga2O3 vertical Schottky solar-blind photodiodes of 7 mm $\times7$ mm detecting area. Operated at zero bias, this photovoltaic diode exhibits a peak responsivity of 9.78 A/W at 212 nm with its corresponding specific detectivity of $3.29\times 10^{{14}}$ Jones. An UVC-to-UVA rejection ratio over $10^{{4}}$ is also achieved that is mainly limited by the internal photoemission of hot electrons from metal injecting into Ga2O3. In particular, the diode exhibits a recorded shortest response time of $ , which is the first report of RC -time-limited performance for Ga2O3 photodetectors reported to date. Along with the large sensitive area, high detectivity and fast response speed allows them suitable for the real time response to objectives with high speed and weak flux of solar-blind spectral signal or high-energy radiations.
