摘要：
A metal electrode modification process for AlGaN-based metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photodetectors have been introduced to enhance the response of solar-blind ultraviolet (UV) light detection. The hexadecanethiol organic molecules are chemically adsorbed on the electrodes of high-Al-content Al0.6Ga0.4N MSM solar-blind UV photodetectors, which can reduce the work function of the metal electrode and change the height of the Schottky barrier. This modification process significantly increases the photocurrent and responsivity of the device compared with the referential photodetector without modification. Additionally, the adverse effects caused by the surface state and polarization of the AlGaN materials are effectively reduced, which can be beneficial for improving the electrical performances of III-nitride-based UV photodetectors.
