Zero-biased and visible-blind UV photodetectors based on nitrogen-doped ultrananocrystalline diamond nanowires

Elluz Pacheco et al.

Summary: Utilizing the superflat surface of ultrananocrystalline diamond, highly precise UNCD nanowire arrays were fabricated to develop high-performance UV photodetectors. The large surface-to-volume ratio of the nanowires significantly increased the number of surface trap states, effectively confined the active area of charge carriers, and shortened transit time, resulting in enhanced photoconductivity and response speed. The zero-biased UV photodetectors based on nitrogen-incorporated ultrananocrystalline diamond nanowire arrays demonstrated a responsivity of 2.0 A/W for 350 nm incident light at room temperature, with well-defined UVA and UVB photocurrent signals and a rise and decay time of less than 1 second.

Suppressing Nitrogen-Vacancy Centers to Enhance Performance of Diamond Ultraviolet Photodetector via Growing With Tungsten

Xiaohui Chang et al.

Summary: By introducing tungsten during diamond growth, the performance of diamond ultraviolet photodetectors was enhanced by reducing the solubility of nitrogen to suppress defects in the diamond film. The photoluminescence and Raman spectra confirmed the improved quality of the diamond film. Photodetectors fabricated on this film showed significantly improved optical-electrical properties with sensitivity, responsivity, and UV/visible rejection ratio increased by 2, 937.5, and 4 times respectively compared to those based on normal diamond.

Research on piezo-phototronic effect in ZnO/AZO heterojunction flexible ultraviolet photodetectors

Jiamei Sun et al.

Summary: A novel Al-doped (3 wt%) ZnO UV photodetector and ZnO/AZO heterojunction double-layer UV PD were prepared on a PET substrate using RF sputtering technology and conventional photolithography. The ZnO/AZO PD showed higher responsivity than the pure AZO PD, with a 1.13 fold increase in responsivity when the tensile variable epsilon was 0.16. These findings offer a new alternative for the preparation of flexible UV PDs with piezo-phototronic effect, which is cost-effective and environmentally sustainable.
