摘要
The room-temperature photosensitivity of sulfur-doped micro-, submicro-, and nano-crystalline diamond films synthesized by hot-filament chemical vapor deposition was studied. The structure and composition of these diamond materials were characterized by Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and x-ray diffraction. The ultraviolet (UV) sensitivity and response time were studied for the three types of diamond materials using a steady-state broad UV excitation source and two pulsed UV laser radiations. It was found that they have high sensitivity in the UV region (as high as 10(9) s(-1) mV(-1) range), a linear response in a broad spectral range below 320 nm, photocurrents around similar to 10(-5) A, and a short response time better than 100 ns, which is independent of fluency intensity. A phenomenological model was applied to help understand the role of defects and dopant concentration on the materials' photosensitivity. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics.
