Abstract

A solar-blind photovoltaic AlGaN-based detectors fabricated on lateral epitaxial overgrown (LEO) GaN were demonstrated. Decay times as low as 4.5 ns were measured. Peak responsivities were as high as 0.05 A/W at 285 nm. Leakage current densities were as low as 10 nA/cm2 at -5 V. Diodes fabricated on dislocated GaN exhibited much higher leakage currents, as well as increased sub-band-gap spectral response.
