Abstract:

Rutile phase TiO2 nanowire arrays were prepared on F:SnO2(FTO) substrate via a low temperature hydrothermal method and characterized by means of X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). Then back incident ultraviolet photodetectors of Au/TiO2/Au structure were fabricated by traditional photo-lithography technique and magnetron sputter plating. At 2.0 V bias, a very low dark current of 3.5 nA is achieved due to the back-to-back structure of the device. Under the irradiation of 360 nm UV-light, the photocurrent can reach 704 nA. The maximum responsibility is up to 0.162 A/W at 360 nm, corresponding to a quantum efficiency of 56.2%.
