Abstract

This letter reports the development of Fe-doped ZnO (FZO) nanorods via a low-temperature hydrothermal method and the fabrication of FZO nanorod metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photodetector (PD). The average length and diameter of the FZO nanorods were 4.5 μm and ~ 100 nm, respectively. The ultraviolet-to-visible rejection ratio of the sample was ~ 23 when biased at 1 V, and the fabricated PD was visible-blind with a sharp cut-off at 375 nm. Furthermore, the noise equivalent power and detectivity of the fabricated FZO nanorod MSM PD were 6.27×10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-10</sup> W and 2.12×10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">10</sup> cm·Hz <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0.5</sup> ·W <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-1</sup> , respectively.
