60Coγ射线对高铝组分Al0.5Ga0.5N基p-i-n日盲型光探测器理想因子的影响

采用⁶⁰Co γ射线源对高铝组分Al_0.5Ga_0.5N盲紫外p-i-n结构光探测器和Si基可见光p-i-n结构探测器进行了累计剂量分别为0.1, 1, 10 Mrad(Si)总剂量辐照实验. 实验发现, 随着辐照剂量的增加, AlGaN盲紫外p-i-n结构光探测器的理想因子显著增大, 辐照后理想因子n > 2; 而Si基可见光p-i-n 结构探测器的理想因子随辐照剂量的变化并不明显. AlGaN盲紫外p-i-n结构光探测器理想因子的退化可能主要是因为欧姆接触性能的退化, Si基可见光p-i-n结构探测器的理想因子的变化则可能是由于敏感层的退化. 关键词： xGa_1?xN')" href="#">高铝组分Al_xGa_1?xN γ射线辐射效应 理想因子 欧姆接触     

A theoretical and experimental evaluation of III-nitride solar-blind UV photocathode

We have developed a superior solar-blind ultraviolet (UV) photocathode with an Al_xGa_1-xN photocathode (x ～ 0.45) in semi-transparent mode, and assessed spectra radiant sensitivity related to practical use. Before being grown over a basal plane sapphire substrate by low-pressure metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), a reasonable design was made to the photocathode epitaxy structure, focusing on the Al_xGa_1-xN: Mg active layer, then followed by a comprehensive analysis of the structural and optical characterization. The spectra radiant sensitivity is peaked of 41.395 mA/W at wavelength 257 nm and then decreases by about 3 to 4 decades at 400 nm demonstrating the ability of this photocathode for solar-blind application prospects.
