Abstract

In this study, n-type Al-doped MgxZn1-xO (AMZO) films were deposited onto p-Al0.08Ga0.92N by using radiofrequency magnetron sputtering followed by annealing at 800°C in nitrogen ambient for 60 s. The film was highly transparent and had transmittances exceeding 95% in the visible region and a sharp absorption edge visible in the ultraviolet region. A high leakage current was obtained in the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the GMZO/AlGaN n-p junction diode. The AMZO/AlGaN photodetector based on the AMZO film exhibited a dark current of 1.56 μA at Vbias =-3V. The peak responsivity of the photodetector was approximately 200 nm and a cutoff wavelength was observed at approximately 250 nm.
