| Research Abstract |
A self-assembly and single-step fabrication technique of bridged nanowire photodetectors is proposed and demonstrated. A deep ultra-violet photodetector made of -Ga2O3 material is fabricated and characterized. The bridged nanowire photodetector is made of thick-nanowire electrode layers and suspended nanowires bridging the gap between the electrode layers. The electrodes and the bridged nanowires are grown with the same material in a single-step chemical vapor deposition process. The bridged nanowires make the sensitive part of the photoresistors. The selective growth of the electrode layers is obtained by patterning gold, a catalyst for the material to be grown, through a low-cost physical mask. The physical mask forms a pattern of two electrodes separated by a gap of 100 microns. Growth conditions of the chemical vapor process are optimized to form ultra-long nanowires (> 100 microns), so that some of the nanowires bridge the electrodes and, thus, form the sensitive part of thetodetector. The advantages of the reported technique are three-fold: the fabrication technique is efficient and cost-effective, the nanowire surfaces are free of contamination, and the nanowire properties are not affected by the substrate. The technique was applied to the large band-gap -Ga2O3 material to realize selectivity to deep ultra-violet detection (solar-blind). A photodetector having good spectral selectivity, fast response, low noise and low cross sensitivity was successfully fabricated.
