INTRODUCTION • Due to the wide band gap of SiC (4H-SiC ~3.25 eV cut-off wavelength ~380nm). • photodetectors utilizing this material should have the advantage of a good visible-blind/solar-blind performance. • very low dark current which can be many orders of magnitude lower than the dark current of conventional Si detectors.
0.38 Ω EXPERIMENT 70 nm 0.02 Ω Passivation此層用來防止漏電流 FIG. 1. Cross-sectional view (a) and top view (b) of 4H-SiC ultraviolet p-i-n photodetector.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION • A. Electrical characterization 1. Capacitance-voltage 0.7 FIG. 2. C-V characteristics i.e., 1/C2-V of the 4H-SiC p-i-n photodetector.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION • 藉由下列公式可計算出內建電壓Vbi,在所給的條件下計算出Vbi為~0.3V 藉由下列公式可計算出空乏區的寬度,在0V時W=0.6μm,而在0.7V時W=0.5um 在>0.7V對SiC之sample的i-layer空乏區寬度將變窄.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 藉由下列公式可計算出1/C2用來描述1/C2對V的曲線電壓從0.7V到3.0V • 經由上列公式可已得到所算出的Vbi為3.0V,所量測到的為2.97±0.05V所以以符合所預估的值
在270nm的UV光照射下得到平均光電流可達6.0nA RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 2. Current-voltage 差了4個orders 12.5pA/mm2 12.5pA/mm2 FIG. 3. I-V characteristics dark current and photocurrent of the 4H-SiC p-i-n photodetector.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 0.13 A/W • B. Photoresponse characterization 0.16 mA/W FIG. 4. The spectral responsivities of the 4H-SiC ultraviolet p-i-n photodetector under different reverse biases.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION • At wavelengths shorter than 240 nm, the quantum efficiency decreases as the wavelength decreases. • The spectrum shows a long wavelength cut off at 380 nm. At wavelengths longer than 380 nm, the 4H-SiC ultraviolet p-i-n detector shows the rarely low photoresponse. ※補充 SiC的Eg為3.25左右所以截止波長在380nm 1240/3.26=380nm
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 藉由下列公式可計算出外部量子效率 上述公式也可經由以下列公式來進行計算
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION • 在270 nm時,經下列計算可以得到外部量子效率為 61 % 在380 nm時,經下列計算可以得到外部量子效率為 10-2 %
CONCLUSIONS • Although 4H-SiC material is not intrinsically solar-blind, • the photodetector based on it appears to be a good potential candidate for solar-blind ultraviolet detection when employed with proper solar-blind interference filters. • solar-blind 290nm
