This invention discloses an AlQDs@Ga2O3 solar-blind
photodetector based on
quantum size effects, its fabrication method, and its applications, belonging to the field of photoelectric detection technology. The solar-blind
photodetector of this invention includes a substrate, a Ga2O3 layer, a
quantum dot material layer, and electrodes. The Ga2O3 layer is disposed on the surface of the substrate, and the
quantum dot material layer is disposed on the surface of the Ga2O3 layer, but does not completely cover the Ga2O3 layer. The electrodes include
electrode I and
electrode II;
electrode I and electrode II are disposed on either the Ga2O3 layer or the
quantum dot material layer; and electrode I and electrode II are not simultaneously located on the same material layer; the
quantum dot material layer includes aluminum quantum dots (AlQDs). This invention combines AlQDs with continuously tunable optical bandgap in the solar-blind band with Ga2O3 with a compatible bandgap value in the solar-blind band to fabricate a solar-blind
detector. This
detector exhibits excellent
wavelength selectivity, providing new ideas for high-resolution single-pixel imaging, ultra-low-power
remote sensing, and
ultraviolet multispectral photoelectric detection applications, and can also be used for deep
ultraviolet anti-interference imaging.
