Fabrication of .BETA.-Ga2O3/ZnO heterojunction for solar-blind deep ultraviolet photodetection
2017
A thin-film type β-Ga2O3/ZnO heterojunction was constructed for the first time by radio frequency magnetron sputtering of a β-Ga2O3 layer on a (0001) ZnO single crystalline substrate. The heterojunction presents a typical positive rectification in the dark, and shows a solar-blind deep ultraviolet photoelectric characteristic. Under zero bias, the photodetector based on a β-Ga2O3/ZnO heterojunction exhibits an I photo/I dark ratio of ~14.8 under a 254 nm light illumination with a light intensity of 50 μW cm−2, showing a characteristic of working with zero power consumption. The photocurrent linear increases and the response time decreases with the increase of the light intensity. The photodetector shows a R λ of 0.35 A W−1 and an EQE of 1.7 × 102% under 254 nm illumination of 50 μW cm−2 and a negative bias of 5 V. This study presents a promising candidate for use in solar-blind deep ultraviolet photodetection.
