Abstract

GaN Schottky barrier ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors (PDs) with a low-temperature Al0.82In0.18 intermediate layer were fabricated and characterized. With the intermediate layer, it was found that we could reduce the reverse leakage current by more than three orders of magnitude and achieve a 45 times larger UV-to-visible rejection ratio. Compared with the conventional GaN PDs, it was found that we could also reduce noise level and achieve a larger detectivity by inserting the lattice-matched AlInN intermediate layer.
