Study on the time-resolved detection performance of β-Ga2O3-based SBUV photodetectors: surface chemical analysis and the impacts of non-VO factors

J. Mater. Chem. C, 2024, Advance Article
DOI: 10.1039/D4TC03701D, Paper
Zeming Li, Rensheng Shen, Wancheng Li, Teng Jiao, Yuchun Chang, Hongwei Liang, Xiaochuan Xia, Baolin Zhang
The sub-intense component in the XPS O 1s spectra of β-Ga2O3 is not associated with oxygen vacancies, the intrinsic indirect bandgap and the surface traps contribute to the extension of the response and recovery times of β-Ga2O3-based PDs.
