摘要
The wide bandgap semiconductor ZnO ultraviolet (UV) photodetector has many advantages, such as high stability, low cost, and has important application prospects in fields such as national defense, medical care, and environmental monitoring. In this work, ZnO thin films were fabricated on SiO2 substrate using radio frequency magnetron sputtering. Subsequently, a ZnO UV photodetector with a high-gain metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) structure was achieved. At a bias voltage of 10 V, the detector exhibited a responsivity of 4.90 A/W and an external quantum efficiency of 1668%. This high gain was attributed to the hole trapping at the semiconductor-metal interface under illumination. Furthermore, the modulation rules and influence mechanisms of gain effect, applied bias voltage, and depletion layer width on the responsivity of ZnO UV photodetector were thoroughly investigated. This research provides an important reference for the development and performance control of high-performance UV photodetectors. © 2023 Chines Academy of Sciences. All rights reserved.
