摘要
Solar-blind Schottky metal-semiconductor-metal photodetectors fabricated on epitaxial Al0.4Ga0.6N layers grown by metalorganic chemical vapour deposition are reported. The devices exhibit low dark current and an external quantum efficiency as high as 49% (at lambda = 272nm) at 90V bias, with a corresponding responsivity R = 107mA/W. A visible-to-UV rejection factor of more than three orders of magnitude is demonstrated. The 3dB bandwidth is 100MHz and the detectivity is estimated to be 3.3 x 10(10)cm.Hz(1/2)/W.
