Highly c-axis oriented ZnO thin films were deposited on single crystal Si(111)substrates by pulsed laser deposition(PLD).The photoconductive UV detectors based on ZnO thin films
being an MSM structure with interdigital(IDT)configuration
were fabricated by the desquamation photoetching method.The Al film-electrodes were deposited by planar magnetron sputtering.Results showed that the alloying temperature should be lower than 600℃.The I-V characteristic and the UV photoresponsivity of the detector were also investigated
indicating a good ohmic behavior between Al and ZnO thin film
a resistance about 100KΩ for the detector
and a photoresponsivity of 0.5A/W under ultraviolet illumination in ultraviolet region.
