Abstract
We have fabricated Mg2Si pn-junction photodiodes with an Au-ring electrode and a SiO2 passivation layer by means of a lift-off photolithography process. Current–voltage (I–V) characteristics of the photodiodes showed obvious rectifying behavior at room temperature. The ideality factor of n determined from the slope of I–V characteristics was 1.76–1.92. The photodiode showed a photoresponse with threshold energy of approximately 0.6 eV under a zero-bias condition. The intensity of peak photoresponse was improved approximately three times compared with the opaque Au-circular electrode type Mg2Si photodiode previously reported.
