摘要
ZnO/Si metal-semiconductor-metal photodetectors (MSM-PDs) were subjected to high-energy electron irradiation (HEEI) to total fluence of 2 x 10(13) cm(-2). ZnO/Si MSM-PDs demonstrated at least 43% greater radiation resistance than similar Si devices. Room-temperature annealing of radiation damage was observed as 63% recovery of photocurrent over 47 days. The current transport mechanism for ZnO/Si MSM-PDs was dominated by space-charge-limited conduction (SCLC) with minimal effect on conduction regime due to HEEI. Analysis of photoluminescence (PL) data indicates that the radiation-induced defects are likely oxygen and zinc vacancies, i.e., (V (0) (+) ) and (V-zn(-) - H+)(0), respectively.
