High-performance piezotronic semiconductor devices have been proven to apply in signal detection, energy converter, and other important fields. Avalanche breakdown is a classical current amplification mechanism. Combining the piezotronic polarization charges regulation of the avalanche process, we novelty proposed a piezotronic PIN diode based on ZnO and used the FEM to calculate the characteristic of the device. The gauge factor can reach 106. This study can guide the design of ultrahigh sensitivity piezotronic photodetectors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
