A high responsivity and controllable recovery ultraviolet detector based on a WO₃gate AlGaN/GaN heterostructure with an integrated micro-heater

A high responsivity and controllable recovery ultraviolet (UV) photodetector based on a tungsten oxide (WO₃) gate AlGaN/GaN heterostructure with an integrated micro-heater is reported for the first time. The WO₃nanolayer was deposited by physical vapor deposition (PVD) for deep UV absorption and the micro-heater was...

Suppression of persistent photoconductivity AlGaN/GaN heterostructure photodetectors using pulsed heating

This paper demonstrates a method to reduce the decay time in AlGaN/GaN photodetectors by a pulsed heating mode. A suspended AlGaN/GaN heterostructure photodetector integrated with a micro-heater is fabricated and characterized under ultraviolet illumination. We have observed that the course of persistent photoconductivity was effectively...

Suspended tungsten trioxide (WO₃) gate AlGaN/GaN heterostructure deep ultraviolet detectors with integrated micro-heater

A suspended WO₃-gate AlGaN/GaN heterostructure photodetector integrated with a micro-heater is micro-fabricated and characterized for ultraviolet photo detection. The transient optical characteristics of the photodetector at different temperatures are studied. The 2DEG-based photodetector shows a recovery (170 s) time under 240 nm...
