- Abstract
The development of sophisticated solar-blind photodetector devices is being motivated by the increasing need for solar-blind sensors with remarkable photosensitive qualities. This work is a modeling and simulation of electrical and optical properties of a Schottky photodetector based on gallium oxide (Ga2O3), one of the most promising wide-band-gap material. It focuses on the optimization of the device structure design, assumed fully transparent to visible light. In addition, analysis of electrical and optical properties of β-Ga2O3-based photodetector was carried out to accurately describe physical phenomenon through the semiconductor bulk. The impact of several parameters of the device on its performances is such as layer thickness, doping concentration, and electron affinity, anode work function and different cathode contact materials. Besides that, and for more understanding the real behaviors within different layers of the photodetector, diverse optical parameters were varied, for instance the light power intensity and the spectral response by changing the optical wavelength. The obtained results show a promising performance enhancement compared to previous works, for instance the photo to dark current ratio of 3 × 104, the good spectral responsivity in UV light illumination [250–350 nm], in addition to the relatively high detectivity of 2.5 × 109 (Jones).
