This study investigates the control of Ga doping in ZnO nanorods (NRs) grown on an amorphous ZnO-seeded glass substrate through hydrothermal method. ZnO was doped with various Ga concentrations (0.25, 0.5, and 1 mM). The average lengths of the resulting NRs were approximately 2.36, 1, and 1.5 mu m, respectively, and the average diameters were 123, 78, and 117 nm, respectively. In addition, Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) NR-based ultraviolet photodetectors (PDs) with a sharp cutoff at 370 nm were fabricated. With an applied voltage of 1 V, different Ga precursor solution concentrations of 0.25, 0.5, and 1 mM yielded measured device responsitivities of 2.2 x 10(-2), 14.9, and 14.1 A/W, respectively. The Ga concentration can be used to control the responsivity of the fabricated PDs. Furthermore, the measured noise equivalent power of the PDs at 0.25, 0.5, and 1 mM were 1.06 x 10(-9), 3.13 x 10(-11), and 1.29 x 10(-10) W, respectively. The corresponding detectivities of the GZO NR PDs were measured at 1.24 x 10(10), 4.21 x 10(11) W, and 1.01 x 10(11) cm.Hz(0.5).W-1, respectively.
