Background:

High charge carrier conduction efficiency is vital for ultraviolet C (UVC) photodetectors (PDs).
In-plane rotational domains in beta-gallium oxide (β-Ga2O3) thin films hinder carrier conduction in lateral PDs (LPDs) due to trapping and recombination.
Anisotropic symmetry in β-Ga2O3 leads to performance degradation in conventional devices.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a vertical conduction configuration for Si-doped β-Ga2O3 photodetectors that preserves high crystallinity.
To investigate the impact of domain orientation on charge carrier conduction and photoresponsivity.
To improve the efficiency and performance of UVC photodetectors by overcoming limitations of lateral designs.

Main Methods:

Epilayer transfer using a hole pattern sapphire nanomembrane (HPSN) growth template to create Si-doped β-Ga2O3 membranes.
Characterization of domain orientation and photoresponsivity in transferred epitaxial Si:Ga2O3 membranes.
Fabrication and testing of vertical photodetectors (VPDs) and multipixel UVC imaging PD arrays.

Main Results:

Demonstrated vertical conduction in Si-doped β-Ga2O3 membranes, preserving high crystallinity.
Revealed defect-related anisotropic conduction, with vertical interdomain pathways being more efficient than lateral intradomain pathways.
Achieved self-powered VPDs with high rectifying characteristics, detectivity of 1.02 × 10^13 Jones, and a fast response time of 93 ms.
Successfully demonstrated multipixel UVC imaging PD arrays with high recognition rates and practical utility.

Conclusions:

The vertical conduction configuration effectively enhances charge carrier conduction efficiency in β-Ga2O3 photodetectors.
The HPSN template enables the fabrication of high-quality epitaxial membranes for advanced optoelectronic devices.
This approach offers a viable solution for overcoming material limitations and advancing UVC imaging applications.
