Abstract

Characterization of Schottky barrier UV detectors with a comb-shaped electrode and a transparent electrode for VUV region using synchrotron radiation was carried out. These Schottky type detectors are effective to operate in UV and VUV light (50<l >360 nm). In particular, the latter realizes high responsivity (0.01 A/W for VUV light) and no photoemission of Au and GaN. The penetration depth for VUV light was estimated to 0.01 m. So the VUV light was absorbed in near the surface of i-GaN layer or the interface of Au and i-GaN layer.
