Dual-acceptor doped p -ZnO:(As,Sb)/n -GaN heterojunctions grown by PA-MBE as a spectrum selective ultraviolet photodetector

High quality heterojunctions based on dual acceptor doped ZnO:(As,Sb) films grown on n-type GaN templates were used for UV detector application. Photodetectors made on the obtained diodes appeared to have a high selectivity in the UV spectral range. Photocurrent measurements revealed a very narrow response window of ∼12 nm only. The difference between the dark and bright current was large and the ratio of these currents was about 103. The response time of the detectors is shorter than 1 ms.
