Abstract

A Schottky ultraviolet photodiode using a (0001) ZnO single crystal grown by the hydrothermal growth method is reported. The photodiode consisted of a semitransparent Pt film for the Schottky electrode and an Al thin film for the Ohmic electrode. The photodiode had polarity dependences on current-voltage characteristics and on responsivity. In the case of the Schottky electrode on the zinc surface, the responsivity was 0.185 AW at a wavelength of 365 nm. On the other hand, the responsivity was 0.09 AW for an oxygen surface. The results are attributed to the polarity dependences of surface chemical reactivity and the surface state density on ZnO surfaces.
