摘要
A radial heterojunction nanowire diode (RND) array consisting of a ZnO (shell)/Si (core) structure was fabricated using conformal coating of a n-type ZnO layer that surrounded a p-type Si nanowire. In both ultraviolet (UV) and visible ranges, the photoresponsivity of the RND was larger than that of a planar thin film diode (PD) owing to the efficient carrier collection with improved light absorption. Compared to a PD, in the forward bias, a 6 mu m long RND resulted in a similar to 2.7 times enhancement of the UV responsivity at lambda = 365 nm, which could be explained based on the oxygen-related hole-trap mechanism. Under a reverse bias, UV-blind visible detection was observed while the UV response was suppressed. (c) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3543845]
