Effect of Si Doping on the Performance of GaN Schottky Barrier Ultraviolet Photodetector Grown on Si Substrate

View through CrossRef
GaN Schottky barrier ultraviolet photodetectors with unintentionally doped GaN and lightly Si-doped n−-GaN absorption layers were successfully fabricated, respectively. The high-quality GaN films on the Si substrate both have a fairly low dislocation density and point defect concentration. More importantly, the effect of Si doping on the performance of the GaN-on-Si Schottky barrier ultraviolet photodetector was studied. It was found that light Si doping in the absorption layer can significantly increase the responsivity under reverse bias, which might be attributed to the persistent photoconductivity that originates from the lowering of the Schottky barrier height. In addition, the devices with unintentionally doped GaN demonstrated a relatively high-speed photo response. We briefly studied the mechanism of changes in Schottky barrier, dark current and the characteristic of response time.
