Abstract

Solid-state self-powered UV detection is strongly required in various application fields to enable long-term operation. However, this requirement is incompatible with conventionally used metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) UV photodetectors (PDs) due to the symmetric design of Schottky contacts. In this work, a self-powered MSM solar-blind UV-PD was realized using a lateral pn junction architecture. A large built-in electric field was obtained in the MSM-type UV-PD without impurity doping, leading to efficiency carrier separation and enhanced photoresponsivity at zero external bias. The solar-blind UV-PD exhibits a cutoff wavelength of 280 nm, a photo/dark current ratio of over 105, and a responsivity of 425.13 mA/W at −10 V. The mechanism of self-powered UV photodetection was further investigated by TCAD simulation of the internal electric field and carrier distributions.
