Abstract

This paper describes the characteristics of a variety of AlGaN-based photodetectors (photoconductors, metal-semiconductor-metal photodiodes, Schottky photodiodes and p-i-n photodiodes), grown on sapphire by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. The features that determine their performance are analyzed. Results using other substrates (epitaxial lateral overgrown GaN, Si) are also presented.
