High Responsivity MgxZn1-xO based Ultraviolet Photodetector Fabricated by Dual Ion Beam Sputtering.

13 February 2018

Abstract

MgxZn1-xO (x = 0.05, 0.15 and 0.20) based metalsemiconductor- metal ultraviolet photodetectors were fabricated on Si substrate using dual ion beam sputtering. The performances of fabricated photodetectors were studied by current-voltage, spectral photoresponse and temporal response measurements.

The values of peak responsivity of photodetectors were 0.4, 0.31, and 0.27 A/W with corresponding external quantum efficiency of 146 %, 110 % and 105 % for x = 0.05, 0.15 and 0.20, respectively.

The cut-off wavelength and UV/Visible rejection ratio of fabricated photodetectors decreases over 360-330 nm and 341.8-115.3, respectively, with increase in Mg concentration. The variation in specific detectivity and noise equivalent power with Mg concentration variation is also reported.
