AlGaN/GaN heterostructure Schottky barrier photodetector (PD) with multi-Mg x N y /GaN buffer was proposed and fabricated. Compared with AlGaN/GaN heterostructure PD prepared on conventional low-temperature GaN buffer, it was found that we can reduce dark leakage current by more than three orders of magnitude. It was also found that we can use the multi-Mg x N y /GaN buffer to suppress photoconductance gain, enhance UV-to-visible rejection ratio, reduce noise level and enhance the detectivity.Index Terms-AlGaN/GaN heterostructure, multi-Mg x N y /GaN buffer, Schottky barrier photodetector.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
