Abstract

By utilising an asymmetric metallisation scheme to fabricate an AlGaN-based solar-blind metal–semiconductor–metal photodetector, a zero-bias external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 24% for illumination at 240 nm wavelength from the substrate side was obtained. Moreover, an asymmetric bias-dependence of dark current and EQE is observed. The EQE saturates at about 38% in reverse direction, whereas in forward direction the presence of an internal gain mechanism is indicated.
