摘要
AlGaN metal-semiconductor-metal photodiodes with a sharp cutoff wavelength as short as 310nm are reported for the first time. The devices show a low dark current, < 0.3 mu A at 40V. The responsivity is flat over the bandgap, with a high visible rejection. At 28V bias, the noise equivalent power is lower than 17pW/Hz(1/2) and similar to 24 pW/Hz(1/2) in GaN and Al0.25Ga0.75N photodiodes, respectively.
