摘要
The performance of AlGaN metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photodetectors grown on Si(111) is presented in this article. It is shown that the growth of an adequate AlN buffer layer is critical to achieve visible-blind devices, and that its role as an effective electrical insulator of the conductive substrate was found to be more efficient for N-excess AlN growth. The increase of Al content produced a transition from photoconductor to MSM photodiode behaviour, as determined from the detector responsivity, temporal response, and UV/visible contrast. The effect of the contact metal on photoconductive gain and UV/visible contrast was also studied. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
