Abstract

Fabrication and systematic characterization of GaN/Si(111)-based visible-blind ultraviolet photodetectors, with Pt/Au contacts, is reported. We demonstrate a record-high detectivity of 4.93x1014 Jones, for bias voltages exceeding VB = 14 V. The high detectivity is obtained due to extremely low dark current ( pA, even for VB = 40 V), and high responsivity, in the wavelength range of 320 nm - 380 nm. The highest responsivity obtained for the measured devices is 255 A/W, at VB = 50 V and excitation wavelength of 353 nm.
