Demonstration of an AlGaN-based solar-blind high-voltage photoconductive switch

Abstract: A solar-blind photoconductive semiconductor switch (PCSS) is first fabricated on high-resistivity Al0.4Ga0.6N layer grown on sapphire substrate. The PCSS exhibits a cutoff wavelength of ∼280 nm and a dark resistivity of ∼1012 Ω cm. A maximum blocking voltage of more than 950 V is obtained, corresponding to a breakdown electric-field of >1.35 MV/cm for the active AlGaN layer. When excited by a 266 nm ultraviolet pulsed laser, the PCSS under 500 V bias could produce a peak photocurrent density of 11.5 kA/… Show more

“…It is the optimal material choice for high speed VLC receiver in various environments. However, the previous III-nitride based PDs studies have focused on the typical characteristics of responsivity and pulse measurements as stand-alone devices using metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) [18][19][20][21][22][23], p-i-n [24][25][26][27], and multiple quantum-wells (MQW) [28][29][30][31][32] structures. Their performance as optical receiver in VLC links has yet to be investigated.…”
