p-GaN-i-GaN/AlGaN multiple-quantum well n-AlGaN back-illuminated ultraviolet detectors

The spectral response of back-surface-illuminated p-GaN-i-GaN/AlGaN multiplequantum well (MQW)-n-AlGaN ultraviolet (UV) photodetector is reported. The structure was grown by molecular-beam epitaxy on a c-plane sapphire substrate. A MQW is introduced into the active region of the device to enhance the quantum efficiency caused by the high absorption coefficient of the two-dimensional (2-D) system. Another advantage of using MQW in the active region is the ability to tune the cutoff wavelength of the photodetector by adjusting the well width, well composition, and barrier height. The zero-bias peak responsivity was found to be 0.095 A/W at 330 nm, which corresponds to 36% quantum efficiency from as-grown p-i-n GaN/AlGaN MQW devices. An anomalous effect, occurring in responsivity as a negative photoresponse in the spectra peaked at 362 nm because of poor ohmic contact to p-type GaN, was also observed. Etching the sample in KOH for 30 sec before fabrication removed the surface contaminants and improved the surface smoothness of the as-grown sample, resulting in significant improvement in the device performance, giving a peak responsivity of 0.12 A/W. The device has a quantum efficiency of 45% at 330 nm without the anomalous negative photocurrent.

Low-noise back-illuminated AlxGa1-xN-basedp-i-n solar-blind ultraviolet photodetectors

We report the growth, fabrication and characterization of Al_0.4Ga_0.6N-Al_0.6Ga_0.4N back-illuminated, solar-blind p-i-n photodiodes. The peak responsivity of the photodiodes is 27 and 79 mA/W at λ≈280 nm for bias voltages of 0 V and -60 V, respectively, with a UV-to-visible rejection ratio of more than three decades (at 400 nm). These devices exhibit very low dark current densities (~5 nA/cm² at -10 V). At low frequencies, the noise exhibits a 1/f-type behavior. The noise power density is S₀≈5×10^-25 A²/Hz at -12.7 V and the detectivity (D*) at 0 V is estimated to be in the range of 4×10¹¹-5×10¹³ cm·Hz^1/2 /W. Time-domain pulse response measurements in a front-illumination configuration indicate that the devices are RC-time limited and show a strong spatial dependence with respect to the position of the incident excitation, which is mainly due to the high resistivity of the p-type Al_0.4Ga_0.6 N layer
