We report on the ultraviolet photodetectors based on the MgZnO/ZnO and ZnO/MgZnO double-layer films prepared by magnetron sputtering method. The spectral response shows only one responsivity peak in the 1.0 and 1.5 h photodetectors (denoted by the deposition time of one layer of the films) and two peaks in the 0.5 h photodetectors. To our surprise, the Au/MgZnO/ZnO photodetectors have larger responsivity than that of the Au/ZnO/MgZnO ones. A physical mechanism focused on depletion width is given to explain the above results.
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.
