High performance UV photodetector based on SnO2-TiO2 heterojunction nanowires
摘要
SnO2-TiO2 nanowire (NW) was fabricated at room temperature (25 °C) using Glancing Angle Deposition (GLAD) technique for photodetector application. The XRD peak of the sample reveals the formation of amorphous TiO2 and polycrystalline SnO2. FE-SEM image confirms the formation of vertically aligned SnO2-TiO2 heterostructure with porous morphology. The device exhibited a photoresponsivity (𝑅) of 0.14 A/W with a detectivity of 1.48 × 1011 Jones under 405 nm wavelength at -3 V. Moreover, the device exhibits a rise time of 0.13 s and a fall time of 0.52 s. The photo-response characteristics can be attributed to the photoinduced charge transfer in the interface between TiO2 and SnO2 and large surface area of the vertically aligned nanocolumn morphology. These results suggest that SnO2-TiO2 fabricated using GLAD hold significant potential for high performance UV photodetectors.
