Abstract

(010) EFG-grown Fe-doped β-Ga2O3 was tested as a low-noise X-ray detector with Ti/Au electrodes vertical structure. Its performance at low, high and no applied voltages was examined. The fabricated detector showed high X-ray detection performance manifested in its signal’s short fall and rise time ( 103). Moreover, the X-ray-induced current signal exhibits high stability. Sub-band UV photocurrent signal showed a significantly slower response compared to X-ray-induced conductivity signal. Possible charge transport mechanisms involving ion migration are suggested and discussed. In this study, Fe doping is shown to significantly improve X-ray detection performance of Ga2O3, consolidating the applicability of Ga2O3 as a next-generation X-ray detector functioning with low power, high SNR and linearity, and significantly improved transient characteristics.
