摘要
In this work, we fabricate and investigate the Schottky β-Ga2O3 solar-blind UV photodetectors. The results show that full width at half maximum of the X-ray diffraction peak from (-201) plane of the β-Ga2O3 grown by pulsed laser deposition is only 36 arcsec, indicating that the epitaxial β-Ga2O3 has a high crystal quality. The fabricated Schottky diodes based on the β-Ga2O3 exhibits obvious Schottky rectification characteristic, and the dark current maintains at 0.1 nA magnitude under -5 V bias voltage, and forward conduction voltage is 1.5 V. The photocurrent spectrum show that the device exhibits remarkable peak response at 240 nm, a steep cutoff wavelength at 260 nm, and a rejection ratio of 1000 between in-band and out-band of solar-blind ultraviolet. Meantime, the effects of different dopants on the crystal quality of β-Ga2O3 are also studied. © 2020, Chinese Institute of Electronics. All right reserved.
