Abstract

The ultraviolet (UV) responsive properties of the enhancement-mode n-channel Schottky-barrier MISFET (SB-MISFET), which was fabricated on a p-type GaN layer grown on silicon substrate, were investigated. The drain leakage current of the MISFET is less than 1 nA/mm2, which is quite low compared to recently reported photodetectors. The MISFET exhibited a cutoff wavelength of 365 nm, and the UV/visible rejection ratio was about 120 near the threshold voltage. This is the first demonstration of the MISFET-type UV photodetector, which is highly applicable to the UV image sensors.
