This article investigates the ultrahigh sensitivity and DUV photodetection capability of a hybrid oxide-nitride stack grown heterogeneously on a conductive ceramic crystal. It was found that the growth process of beta-Ga2O3 crystal on TiN introduced additional defects, resulting in DUV photodetectors with true solar-blind characteristics.
This article investigates the ultrahigh sensitivity and DUV photodetection capability of a hybrid oxide-nitride stack comprising beta-Ga2O3 layers grown heterogeneously on a conductive ceramic crystal. The ceramic crystal, namely a TiN interlayer, which acts as a lattice template, was heteroepitaxially grown on bulk MgO. Because beta-Ga2O3 is a monoclinic phase crystal, it is conjectured that its nucleation and growth process on cubic phase TiN is entropic in nature, whereby the two unit cell configurations of the beta-Ga2O3 crystal, exhibiting rotational twin domains, grew alternately side by side in a semiperiodic manner on TiN while maintaining a single crystal phase. This film formation mechanism contributed to the introduction of additional defects in the beta-Ga2O3 lattice (Taylor's dislocations in addition to growth-induced vacancies). The fabricated DUV photodetectors based on the resulting metal-semiconductor junction heterodiodes exhibited an average peak spectral responsivity of 276.72 A W-1 and fast decay constants in the order of 500 ms in the ultraviolet-C regime, with true solar-blind characteristics manifested by ultraviolet-to-visible rejection ratios of up to 2 x 10(3) and illuminating power density of around 70 mu W cm(-2). The crystallographic orientation relationships between the TiN and beta-Ga2O3 crystals, as well as the lattice fit and dislocation types, are revealed and examined.
