Abstract

The authors demonstrate high response organic ultraviolet (UV) photodetector (PD) using 4,4′,4″-tri-(2-methylphenyl phenylamino) triphenylaine (m-MTDATA) and tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) gallium (Gaq3) to act as the electron donor and acceptor, respectively. The m-MTDATA:Gaq3 blend device shows a photocurrent of 405μA∕cm−2 at −8V, corresponding to a response of 338mA∕W under an illumination of 365nm UV light with an intensity of 1.2mW∕cm2. The high response is attributed to the enhanced dissociation of geminate hole-electron pairs in the distributed heterojunction of the blend and suppression of radiative decay. Photophysics of the PD involved is also discussed in terms of the performance and device structures.
