100 mV Ultra-Low Bias AlGaN/GaN Photodetector Based on Fin-Shaped Capacitor Configuration for Future Integrated Optoelectronics

Abstract: This study presents an AlGaN/GaN ultraviolet (UV) photodetector proven to be highly effective when working under an ultra-low bias voltage. The proposed photodetector is based on an innovative configuration consisting of repetitive AlGaN/GaN fin-shaped capacitor units, which make use of the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) layer as the positive field plates and the sidewall tungsten Schottky metal as the ground plates to surround the bulk of photocarrier generation space. Furthermore, a unique partial sidew… Show more

“…The responsivity decreased with increasing wavelength of incident light and demonstrated a sharp cutoff at around 365 nm, which corresponds to the bandgap of the GaN layer . Based on the responsivity versus illumination wavelength curve, the UV/visible rejection ratio, which slightly decreased with increasing drain voltage, could be calculated as the maximum of about 2.5 × 10 3 at drain voltage of 0.1 V, which is better than the traditional GaN based Schottky, p-i-n, and metal–semiconductor-metal (MSM)-type PDs. It should be noted that the responsivity of the device was still on the order of 10 4 at such an ultralow drain voltage, which could be comparable to the UV PDs based on AlGaN/GaN fin-shaped capacitor, and may largely reduce the power consumption.…”

“…The monochromatic tunable light source was modulated by a chopper at frequency ranging from 200 to 800 Hz. The photocurrent responses were measured by the voltage on the resistor (200 kΩ) in series with the PDs. , The output signals at different frequencies were captured by an oscilloscope (DSOS054A, Keysight). Figure S5 (Supporting Information) shows the photoresponse of S 1 –S 4 at 200, 500, and 800 Hz, respectively.…”

“…Among various device structures, two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at the AlGaN/GaN HEMT has enabled a significant revolution in the development of the high-frequency power transistor [12] and highly responsive UV PDs. [13,14] Specifically, 2DEG AlGaN/GaN PDs outperform other types of GaN PDs based on p-i-n, [15] Schottky barrier, [16] avalanche, [17] field effect transistor, [18] fin-shaped capacitor, [19] and metal−semiconductor−metal (MSM) structure. [20,21] In addition, the fabrication process of AlGaN/GaN 2DEG PDs is well compatible with the matured GaN fabrication technology.…”
