Vertical solar blind Schottky photodiode based on homoepitaxial Ga2O3 thin film
2017
High quality germanium doped β-Ga 2 O 3 epitaxial film was grown by PMBE technique and fabricated into a vertical type Schottky photodiode with a Pt/nGa 2 O 3 /n + Ga 2 O 3 (010) structure. The photodiode exhibited excellent rectifying characteristics with a turn on voltage ~ 1V and near zero bias leakage current ~ 100 fA. The photoresponse measurement showed a true solar blind sensitivity with cutoff wavelength ~260 nm and an out of band rejection ratio of ~10 4 . A maximum responsivity of 0.09 A/W at 230 nm was measured at zero bias, corresponding to an external quantum efficiency of ~52 %. The time response of the photovoltaic diode is in the millisecond range and has no long-time decay component which is very common in the MSM photoconductive wide bandgap devices. The photodiode performance remains stable up to 300°C, suggesting its potential use for high temperature applications.
