Self-powered p-NiO/n-ZnO heterojunction ultraviolet photodetectors fabricated on plastic substrates.

ABSTRACT: A self-powered ultraviolet (UV) photodetector (PD) based on p-NiO and n-ZnO was fabricated using low-temperature sputtering technique on indium doped tin oxide (ITO) coated plastic polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates. The p-n heterojunction showed very fast temporal photoresponse with excellent quantum efficiency of over 63% under UV illumination at an applied reverse bias of 1.2 V. The engineered ultrathin Ti/Au top metal contacts and UV transparent PET/ITO substrates allowed the PDs to be illuminated through either front or back side. Morphology, structural, chemical and optical properties of sputtered NiO and ZnO films were also investigated.

Highly sensitive ultraviolet photodetectors fabricated from ZnO quantum dots/carbon nanodots hybrid films.

Project description:Ultraviolet photodetectors have been fabricated from ZnO quantum dots/carbon nanodots hybrid films, and the introduction of carbon nanodots improves the performance of the photodetectors greatly. The photodetectors can be used to detect very weak ultraviolet signals (as low as 12 nW/cm(2)). The detectivity and noise equivalent power of the photodetector can reach 3.1 × 10(17) cmHz(1/2)/W and 7.8 × 10(-20) W, respectively, both of which are the best values ever reported for ZnO-based photodetectors. The mechanism for the high sensitivity of the photodetectors has been attributed to the enhanced carrier-separation at the ZnO/C interface.

Ferroelectric Tuning of ZnO Ultraviolet Photodetectors.

Project description:The ferroelectric field effect transistor (Fe-FET) is considered to be one of the most important low-power and high-performance devices. It is promising to combine a ferroelectric field effect with a photodetector to improve the photodetection performance. This study proposes a strategy for ZnO ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors regulated by a ferroelectric gate. The ZnO nanowire (NW) UV photodetector was tuned by a 2D CuInP2S6 (CIPS) ferroelectric gate, which decreased the dark current and enhanced the responsivity and detectivity to 2.40 × 104 A/W and 7.17 × 1011 Jones, respectively. This strategy was also applied to a ZnO film UV photodetector that was tuned by a P(VDF-TrFE) ferroelectric gate. Lower power consumption and higher performance can be enabled by ferroelectric tuning of ZnO ultraviolet photodetectors, providing new inspiration for the fabrication of high-performance photodetectors.

High-Performance Deep Ultraviolet Photodetector Based on NiO/β-Ga2O3 Heterojunction.

Project description:Ultraviolet (UV) photodetector has attracted extensive interests due to its wide-ranging applications from defense technology to optical communications. The use of wide bandgap metal oxide semiconductor materials is of great interest in the development of UV photodetector due to their unique electronic and optical properties. In this work, deep UV photodetector based on NiO/β-Ga2O3 heterojunction was developed and investigated. The β-Ga2O3 layer was prepared by magnetron sputtering and exhibited selective orientation along the family of ([Formula: see text] 01) crystal plane after annealing. The photodetector demonstrated good performance with a high responsivity (R) of 27.43 AW-1 under a 245-nm illumination (27 μWcm-2) and the maximum detectivity (D*) of 3.14 × 1012 cmHz1/2 W-1, which was attributed to the p-NiO/n-β-Ga2O3 heterojunction.

High-Performance Self-Powered Ultraviolet Photodetector Based on Nano-Porous GaN and CoPc p-n Vertical Heterojunction.

Project description:Gallium nitride (GaN) is a superior candidate material for fabricating ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors (PDs) by taking advantage of its attractive wide bandgap (3.4 eV) and stable chemical and physical properties. However, the performance of available GaN-based UV PDs (e.g., in terms of detectivity and sensitivity) still require improvement. Fabricating nanoporous GaN (porous-GaN) structures and constructing organic/inorganic hybrids are two effective ways to improve the performance of PDs. In this study, a novel self-powered UV PD was developed by using p-type cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) and n-type porous-GaN (CoPc/porous-GaN) to construct a p-n vertical heterojunction via a thermal vapor deposition method. Under 365 nm 0.009 mWcm-2 light illumination, our device showed a photoresponsivity of 588 mA/W, a detectivity of 4.8 × 1012 Jones, and a linear dynamic range of 79.5 dB, which are better than CoPc- and flat-GaN (CoPc/flat-GaN)-based PDs. The high performance was mainly attributed to the built-in electric field (BEF) generated at the interface of the CoPc film and the nanoporous-GaN, as well as the nanoporous structure of GaN, which allows for a higher absorptivity of light. Furthermore, the device showed excellent stability, as its photoelectrical property and on/off switching behavior remained the same, even after 3 months.

Chlorine-Infused Wide-Band Gap p-CuSCN/n-GaN Heterojunction Ultraviolet-Light Photodetectors.

Project description:Copper thiocyanate (CuSCN) is a p-type semiconductor that exhibits hole-transport and wide-band gap (∼3.9 eV) characteristics. However, the conductivity of CuSCN is not sufficiently high, which limits its potential application in optoelectronic devices. Herein, CuSCN thin films were exposed to chlorine using a dry etching system to enhance their electrical properties, yielding a maximum hole concentration of 3 × 1018 cm-3. The p-type CuSCN layer was then deposited onto an n-type gallium nitride (GaN) layer to form a prototypical ultraviolet-based photodetector. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy further demonstrated the interface electronic structures of the heterojunction, confirming a favorable alignment for holes and electrons transport. The ensuing p-CuSCN/n-GaN heterojunction photodetector exhibited a turn-on voltage of 2.3 V, a responsivity of 1.35 A/W at -1 V, and an external quantum efficiency of 5.14 × 102% under illumination with ultraviolet light (peak wavelength of 330 nm). The work opens a new pathway for making a plethora of hybrid optoelectronic devices of inorganic and organic nature by using p-type CuSCN as the hole injection layer.

Toward Industrial Production of a High-Performance Self-Powered Ultraviolet Photodetector Using Nanoporous Al-Doped ZnO Thin Films.

Project description:Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films are effective n-type semiconductors for ultraviolet (UV) detection because of their low cost, high electron mobility, and high sensitivity to UV light, especially in the UVA spectrum. However, a reasonable compromise between performance (such as sensitivity, detectivity, and response time) and fabrication ease remains an obstacle to the practicability of AZO-based UV photodetectors. To address this issue, we propose an efficient strategy to achieve a large AZO photoactive area for outstanding performance, along with a facile sol-gel method. Consequently, the device exhibits a superb on/off ratio of >104, a high detectivity of 1.85 × 1012 Jones, and a fast response speed under 365 nm UVA illumination without external energy consumption. Hence, this study suggests a self-powered and high-performance nanoporous AZO-based UVA detector with an environmentally friendly scalable process that satisfies industrial production requirements for numerous practical UV-detection applications.

Voltage-controlled NiO/ZnO p-n heterojunction diode: a new approach towards selective VOC sensing.

Project description:Metal oxide resistive gas sensors suffer from poor selectivity that restricts their practical applicability. Conventional sensor arrays are used to improve selectivity which increased the system complexity. Here, we have proposed a novel NiO/ZnO-based p-n junction single-diode device for selective sensing of several volatile organic compounds (VOCs) simultaneously by tuning bias voltage. The operating voltage was varied between 3 and 5 volts to achieve selective sensing of 2-propanol (19.1 times for 95 ppm with response and recovery times of 70 s and 55 s respectively' at 3 volts), toluene (20.1 times for 95 ppm with response and recovery times of 100 s and 60 s respectively, at 4 volts), and formaldehyde (11.2 times for 95 ppm with response and recovery times of 88 s and 54 s respectively, at 5 volts). A probable mechanism of the tunable selectivity with operating bias voltage due to increase in surface carriers with increasing voltage was hence put forth. Thus, this device may play an important role to develop future selective multiple VOC sensor thereby replacing standard sensor arrays.

Ultraviolet Photodetector Based on Poly(3,4-Ethylenedioxyselenophene)/ZnO Core-Shell Nanorods p-n Heterojunction.

Project description:In this work, we successfully assembled an organic-inorganic core-shell hybrid p-n heterojunction ultraviolet photodetector by the electropolymerization deposition of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxyselenophene) (PEDOS) on the surface of zinc oxide nanoarrays (ZnO NRs). The structures of composite were confirmed by FTIR, UV-Vis, XRD and XPS. Mott-Schottky analysis was used to study the p-n heterojunction structure. The photodetection properties of ZnO NRs/PEDOS heterojunction ultraviolet photodetector were systematically investigated current-voltage (I-V) and current-time (I-t) analysis under different bias voltages. The results showed that PEDOS films uniformly grew on ZnO NRs surface and core-shell structure was formed. The p-n heterojunction structure was formed with strong built-in electric field between ZnO NRs and PEDOS. Under the irradiation of UV light, the device showed a good rectification behavior. The responsivity, detection rate and the external quantum efficiency of the ultraviolet photodetector reached to 247.7 A/W, 3.41 × 1012 Jones and 84,000% at 2 V bias, respectively. The rise time (τr) and fall time (τf) of ZnO NRs/PEDOS UV photodetector were obviously shortened compared to ZnO UV photodetector. The results show that the introduction of PEDOS effectively improves the performance of the UV photodetector.
