Abstract

A report on the characterization of GaN Schottky barrier photodetectors with a low-temperature GaN cap layer was presented in the article. It was found that the leakage currents can be reduced and a much larger photocurrent to dark contrast ratio can be achieved by introducing a low temperature GaN on top of the conventional nitride-based ultraviolet photodiodes. It was also found that the operation speed of sample A is slower than that of sample B due to the highly resistive low temperature GaN layer induced large RC time constant.
