Fast response self-powered UV photodetector based on SiOx thin film
摘要
This study presents a self-powered photodetector based on SiOx thin film (TF) deposited on p-Si substrates using electron beam evaporation. Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (KPFM) measurement reveals the work function of SiOx as 4.68 eV. Electrical analysis demonstrated a responsivity of 13.2 mA/W, a detectivity (D*) of 1.94 × 1012 Jones, and a noise equivalent power of 5.73 × 10−14 W. Moreover, the device exhibited a fast-switching response at 0 V, with rise and decay times of 0.45 s and 0.46 s, respectively. These results suggest that the SiOx TF device holds great potential for self-powered photodetector applications.
