Фотодиоды на основе структур Ga-=SUB=-2-=/SUB=-O-=SUB=-3-=/SUB=-/n-GaAs, способные работать в автономном режиме

Abstract

The electrical and photoelectric characteristics of the Ga2O3/n-GaAs structures have been studied. A gallium oxide film was obtained by HF magnetron sputtering on n-GaAs epitaxial layers with concentration of Nd = 9.5ˑ1014 cm–3 concentration. The thickness of the oxide film was 120 nm. Measurements at a frequency of 106 Hz have shown that the capacitance-voltage and conductance-voltage dependences are described by curves characteristic of metal-insulator-semiconductor structures and exhibit low sensitivity to radiation with λ = 254 nm. When operating on a constant signal, the samples exhibit the properties of a photodiode and are able to work offline. The photoelectric characteristics of the detectors during continuous exposure to radiation with λ = 254 nm are determined by the high density of traps at the Ga2O3/GaAs interface and in the oxide film.
