Recently, Ga2O3-based self-powered ultraviolet photodetectors have aroused great interest due to their potential applications in civil, medical, and environmental monitoring fields. So far, most p-n junction photodetectors are fabricated with p-type semiconductors like GaN and SiC, which are usually nonoxide materials. As a result, the p-type semiconductors are oxidized and the conductive properties degenerated when constructing a p-n junction with the Ga(2)O(3 )thin film at a high growth temperature. In this work, we chose the oxide NiO as the p-type material and used radio-frequency reactive magnetron sputtering system to fabricate the all-oxide NiO/Ga2O3 p-n junction at room temperature and manufacture the self-powered UV photodetector. Thanks to the type II band alignment, the photodetector exhibits a responsivity (R) of 57 mu A/W, a detectivity (D*) of 5.45 x 10(9) jones, and an I-light/I-dark ratio of 122 when exposed to a 254 nm light irradiation at 0 V. In addition, the photodetector based on the all-oxide NiO/Ga2O3 p-n junction shows good stability and reproducibility in air, oxygen, and vacuum. Our results provide an inexpensive and suitable pathway for the mass production of self-powered UV photodetectors.
