High quality β-Ga2O3 film grown with N2O for high sensitivity solar-blind-ultraviolet photodetector with fast response speed

High quality beta-Ga2O3 film is grown by using N2O as reaction gas for the fabrication of high performance solar-blind-ultraviolet photodetector. Compared with traditional solar-blind-ultraviolet photodetector based on beta-Ga2O3 film grown with O-2, the reported solar-blind-ultraviolet photodetector exhibits higher photoresponsivity of 26.1 A/W, larger on/off ratio (I-255 nm light/Idark) of 104, and faster response speed ( a rise time of 0.48 s and a decay time of 0.18 s at 10 V. The high photoresponsivity and fast response speed of the reported beta-Ga2O3 solar-blind-ultraviolet photodetector can be attributed to the reduction of scattering or/and trapped centre of photo-generated carriers formed in the film grown with N2O.
