A Transparent UV Photodetector Based on NiO/Ti-Doped ZnO with Double-Sided Response and High Photocurrent Stability
摘要
A transparent UV photodetector based on NiO/Ti-doped ZnO (TZO) composite films with a lateral electrode structure is synthesized by magnetron sputtering. The device shows double-sided 365 nm and 255 nm UV response under forward or reverse bias. The responsivity and detectivity (front/back illumination) are maximized to 43.0/6.4 mA/W and 5.7 × 1010/8.7 × 109 Jones at 365 nm, and 8.0/19.0 mA/W and 1.1 × 1010/2.6 × 1010 Jones at 255 nm. Moreover, due to the intrinsic nature of the heterojunction, the NiO/TZO photodetector exhibits a fast response time (< 40 ms) and low photocurrent fluctuation coefficient (front 0.3%, back 5.5%). These results show that the NiO/TZO photodetector has advantages including fast response speed, stability, and double-sided response, which offers promising opportunities for the development of intelligent integrated invisible optoelectronic devices.
