Abstract

An overview of β-Ga2O3-based UV photodetectors (PD) as well as their status and promises are presented in this chapter. UV detectors and their applications are highlighted in the introduction followed by a brief discussion on β-Ga2O3 and its many potentials and challenges. The figures of merit for a PD are touched upon, especially from the point of view of UV detection. β-Ga2O3 UV detector configurations such as metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) and Schottky diodes are discussed, and their recent advances and state-of-the-art results are presented in parallel. A comparison in terms of device performance between β-Ga2O3 and the competing III-nitride technology for UV detection is also highlighted. Finally, the future outlook and challenges associated with this emerging UV technology are summarized. © 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
