One-step growth of amorphous/crystalline Ga2O3 phase-junctions for high performance solar-blind photodetection
2019
The pursuit of high-performance photodetectors functioning in the solar-blind spectrum is motivated by both scientific and practical applications ranging from secure communication, monitoring, sensing, etc. In particular, the fabrication of heterojunctions based on the wide band gap semiconductors has emerged as an attractive strategy to promote the high-efficient photogenerated electron/hole pair separation. However, the precisely controlled growth of heterojunctions remains a huge challenge. The lattice mismatch leads to the formation of defects and/or dislocations at the interface, deteriorating the performance of devices and limiting their envisioned applications. Here, we demonstrate a simple one-step growth of amorphous/crystalline Ga2O3 phase junctions by using sputtering technique, yielding a large responsivity of 0.81 A/W, a superior photo-to-dark current ratio over 107, and an ultrahigh response speed of ∼12 ns. Compared to the previous reported solar-blind photodetectors, the obtained detectivi...
