A UV-emitting and -sensing device from ZnGa2O4 oxide layer in metal-oxide-semiconductor structure

Mohammad M. Afandi, Jongsu Kim

Abstract

The ultraviolet (UV) spectrum is considered a harmful light yet useful with the correct amount of exposure for industrial and academic applications. Herein, a dual-mode device, ultraviolet-A (UV-A) emitting and solar-blind UV photo-detecting, was fabricated using a ZnGa2O4 (ZGO) in a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) structure. The ZGO film was deposited on the p+-Si substrate through a facile one-step annealing all-solution precursor process. The strategy to achieve bi-functionality was demonstrated by changing the electric configurations. Under a sinusoidal AC power, it emits broad UV-A light, which is optically referred to as the impact excitation of holes and electrons within the ZGO lattice. However, under UV irradiation, it presents a decent photo-current response with an acceptable UV/visible rejection ratio and a millisecond response with the help of an external electric field from DC bias voltage. Our work could provide a feasible method for developing multifunctional electronic devices based on MOS structure.
