摘要
We report on the fabrication of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods on p-type silicon (p-Si) photodiodes. The nanorods are prepared by low-temperature hydrothermal processing. The fabricated photodiodes exhibit an excellent rectifying ratio of 370 at 10 V. The responsivity to ultraviolet (UV) photons is stable at 0.29 A/W up to 300 nm, with a peak value of 0.38 A/W at 360 nm. Furthermore, the prepared photodiodes demonstrate visible blind behavior, indicating that ZnO nanorods grown on p-Si substrates can be used as UV photodiodes with visible blind responses.
