摘要
GaN-based ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors were fabricated with transparent TiN electrodes. It was found that the transmittance was higher than 80% for a 50-nm-thick TiN layer. It was also found that we can significantly reduce the dark current of the photodetectors by inserting a thin Ba0.25Sr0.75TiO3 (BST) interlayer between the TiN electrode and the n-Ga-N. With a 3-nm-thick BST interlayer, we can realize a TiN/BST/GaN photodetector with a photocurrent-to-dark current contrast as high as 2.5 x 10(4).
