Abstract

Semiconductor UV photodetectors are widely used in civil, military and commercial applications. It has attracted great research interest in recent years. Due to its excellent optical and electrical properties, ZnO has broad application prospects in the field of ultraviolet photodetectors. The optoelectronic properties of single materials are often limited, and composite structures can improve the shortcomings of single materials. In this paper, ZnS materials were composited on ZnO by vacuum vulcanization. The photoelectric properties of PECC UV photodetectors with ZnS/ZnO composite structure as photoanode were also analyzed. The results show that the open-circuit voltage VOC of the UV photodetector with this structure is 0.6 V, the short-circuit current ISC is 5.63 μA, the sensitivity is 401, which is much higher than that of the pure ZnO nanorod array of 119.7, and the responsivity is also increased from 2.81 A/ W increased to 9.38 A/W. The increase in the photoresponse current is attributed to the type II heterostructure formed by the composite, while the slower photoresponse is because the electronic effective mass of the composite structure is larger than that of ZnO with oxygen vacancy defects.
