摘要
We have fabricated interdigital metal-semiconductor-metal ultraviolet photoconductors using p-type GaN grown by MBE. The material had a hole concentration of 10(18) cm(-3) and a mobility of 5 cm(2) V-1 s(-1). The spectral response of the detectors has been measured and it shows a peak at 364.2 nm (3.402 eV) possibly caused by excitonic effects. The transient response of the photodetector cannot be described by a single time constant. The rise and fall times of the photoresponse are different indicating that the theory usually applied to GaN photoconductors is not valid. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
