The fabrication and photoresponse of ZnO/diamond film heterojunction diode
Abstract
Boron-doped p-type freestanding diamond (FSD) films were prepared by hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) method. The effect of B/C ratio on the electrical properties of FSD films was investigated by Hall effect measurement system. A ZnO/diamond heterojunction diode was fabricated successfully by depositing n-type ZnO films on the p-type FSD substrate by radio-frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering method. The wavelength dependent photoresponse properties of the heterojunction diode were investigated by studying the effect of light illumination on current-voltage (I-V) characteristics and photocurrent spectra at room temperature. The diode showed a significant discrimination between ultraviolet (UV) and the visible light under reverse bias conditions and photoresponse of the device was approximately linear related to the increasing reverse bias voltages.
