Abstract
Gallium nitride (GaN) ultraviolet metal-semiconductor-metal photodetectors (PDs) grown on Si substrates were demonstrated. The dark current of PDs fabricated on Si substrates was substantially smaller in magnitude compared to identical devices prepared on sapphire substrates. With an incident wavelength of 359nm, the maximum responsivities of the n−-GaN MSM photodetectors with TiW and Ni∕Au contact electrodes were 0.187 and 0.0792A∕W, corresponding to quantum efficiencies of 64.7% and 27.4%, respectively. For a given bandwidth of 1kHz and a given bias of 5V, the corresponding noise equivalent powers of our n−-GaN MSM photodetectors with TiW and Ni∕Au electrodes were 1.525×10−12 and 5.119×10−12W, respectively. Consequently, the values of detectivity (D*) determined for devices with TiW and Ni∕Au electrodes were then calculated to be 1.313×1012 and 3.914×1011cmHz0.5W−1, respectively.
