Detector with High Internal Photocurrent Gain Based on ZnO:N

The photoresponsive structures prepared by magnetron sputtering of ZnO:N on p-Si substrates followed by vacuum evaporation of semi-transparent Ni film on ZnO surface were investigated. The mentioned structures show high sensitivity that sharply enhances with increase of applied voltage. Under a bias 5 V, the responsivities at λ = 390 and 850 nm are equal to 210 A/W and 110 A/W which correspond to the quantum efficiencies of 655 and 165, respectively. It is suggested that the observed high response is attributed to internal gain in phototransistor structure containing Ni/n-ZnO Schottky contact as emitter junction and n-ZnO/p-Si heterostructure as collector junction

Ultraviolet Detectors Based on ZnO:N Thin Films with Different Contact Structures

Al/ZnO:N/Al and Ni/ZnO:N/Al diode photodetectors fabricated by dc magnetron sputtering of ZnO:N films on p-Si substrates are studied. The photocurrent-to-dark current ratio equal to 250 at λ= 390 nm and the time constant of photoresponse about 10 μs for Al/ZnO:N/Al structures with 4 μm interdigital spacing was achieved. The Ni/ZnO:N/Al diode structure has the rectification ratio ≈10² at bias 1 V, the maximal responsivity about 0.1 A/W is observed at 365 nm, and the measured time constant of photoresponse is about 100 ns
