Abstract
The effects of magnesium ion implantation and post-annealing on the photoelectric performance of a $\beta {\text -} {{\rm Ga}_2}{{\rm O}_3}$-based vertical structural Schottky photodetector (PD) were thoroughly investigated. After implantation and post-annealing, the Schottky barrier height and bandgap of the ${{\rm Ga}_2}{{\rm O}_3}$ surface can be slightly increased, while the dark current is significantly reduced, and the light-to-dark current ratio is immensely improved. The PD exhibited a photo-to-dark current ratio of 1733, responsivity of 5.04 mA/W, and specific detectivity of ${3.979} \times {{10}^{11}}$ Jones under ${-}{2.6}\;{\rm V}$ bias, and the rise and decay times are 0.157 were 0.048 s, respectively. The large left shift of the open-circuit voltage is feasibly explained by applying the thermionic-emission diffusion theory.
