The applications of surface plasmons in Ga2O3 ultraviolet photodetector
Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) provides an effective approach to further improve the performance of photodetectors. In this work, we introduce the Al nanoparticles (Al-NPs) on the surface of β-Ga2O3 thin film by rapid thermal annealing in order to improve the performance of β-Ga2O3 solar-blind ultraviolet photodetectors Al nanoparticles arrays, which can not only decrease the dark current but also enhance the responsivity and specific detectivity. As a result, the responsivity of β-Ga2O3-based metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) solar-blind ultraviolet photodetectors with Al-NPs can reach 2.7 A/W, and the specific detectivity can reach 1.35′1014 cm×Hz1/2×W-1 under the 254 nm radiation and 10 V bias. Both parameters are more than 1.5 times and 2 times higher than those without Al nanoparticles, respectively.
