In this paper, ultraviolet (UV) detecting performances of the n-i-p SiCN homojunction prepared on a p-type (100) silicon substrate under room and elevated temperatures were studied. We analyze the morphology and structure of the crystalline SiCN film on Si first and then examine responses of the sensors to UV light by measurement of photo/dark current ratio with and without the irradiation of a 254-nm UV light. The current ratios of the homojunction under 5 bias, with and without irradiation of a 254-nm UV light are 3180 and 135.65, respectively, at room temperature and 200 C. The results are comparable or better to the reported UV detectors based on 4H-SiC or AlGaN in room or high temperature. Index Terms-Homojunction, opto-electronic, photo/dark current ratio (PDCR), SiCN, ultraviolet (UV) detector.
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.
