研究目的
Investigating the enhancement of photoresponse in ZnO/Au based Schottky junction UV detectors through the insertion of a TiO2 layer to mitigate the effects of surface states.
研究成果
The insertion of a TiO2 layer between ZnO and Au in UV photodetectors significantly enhances photoresponse by reducing the dark current and improving the separation and extraction of photoexcited carriers. This interface engineering approach offers a promising method to improve the performance of optoelectronic devices.
研究不足
The study focuses on the specific configuration of AueTiO2eZnO (ATZ) UV photodetectors and the effect of TiO2 insertion layer. The generalizability of the findings to other semiconductor materials or device configurations is not explored.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the fabrication of AueTiO2eZnO (ATZ) UV photodetectors to investigate the effect of a TiO2 insertion layer on the photoresponse performance. The methodology included the hydrothermal synthesis of ZnO nanowires (NWs) on FTO substrates, deposition of Au films, and the application of a TiO2 layer through immersion in TiCl4 solution followed by sintering.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
ZnO NW arrays were synthesized on FTO substrates. The samples were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS).
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a Quanta 3D FEG SEM, Rigaku DMARB X-ray diffractometer, and Keithley 4200-SCS semiconductor characterization system. Materials included FTO glass substrates, TiCl4 solution, and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) for device packaging.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The fabrication process involved the synthesis of ZnO NWs, deposition of Au films, application of the TiO2 layer, and device packaging. Electrical and photosensitive properties were measured under dark and UV illumination.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The photoresponse characteristics were analyzed using current-voltage (I-V) measurements. The effect of the TiO2 layer on the Schottky junction was explained using the Schottky-Bardeen Model.
