High crystalline quality Al 0.40 In 0.02 Ga 0.58 N film has been achieved on GaN buffer by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE). The metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) structured visible blind photodetector was fabricated based on the Al 0.40 In 0.02 Ga 0.58 N film. The current-voltage measurement indicated an obvious Schottky behavior, the barrier height was calculated to be 0.98 eV. With an applied bias of 10 V, the photodetector showed a peak responsivity of 0.065 A/W at 295 nm with a cutoff wavelength at 310 nm. Furthermore, the ultraviolet-visible rejection ratio (R295 nm/R450 nm) was more than two orders of magnitude at 10 V bias. It was also found another response peak at 360 nm corresponding to the band gap of GaN, Which proved our photodetector can be used for dual band detection in ultraviolet region. In addition, it was also found that the slower increased of the responsivity when the |bias| was above 3V was attributed to radiative and Auger recombination.
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.
