摘要

A β-gallium oxide (Ga2O3) thin film was deposited on a silicon (Si) substrate using an e-beam evaporator for photodetector applications. The device exhibited rectifying properties and had a dark current of 59 pA. Under illumination, the device demonstrated sensitivity to light with a short-circuit current and an open-circuit voltage of 42 nA and 0.36 V, respectively, demonstrating its capabilities as a self-powered photodetector. The device showed good stability and repeatability with a rise and fall time of 1.18 and 1.86 s, respectively. The photocurrent response exhibited a strong intensity-dependent behavior with good linearity. In addition, the device showed a responsivity of 74.3 mA/W with an external quantum efficiency value of 27.9% at 330 nm (0 V). Furthermore, the device demonstrates the detectivity of 1.71 × 1013 Jones, and the noise equivalent power was 5.86 × 10–14 W/Hz1/2. These results highlight the potential of β-Ga2O3/SiO2 heterostructure for efficient self-powered UV detection.
