A self-powered, high-performance graphene/Silicon Carbide (G/4H-SiC) ultraviolet Schottky junction photodetector has been fabricated, and the effect of using monolayer and bilayer graphene on the device performance parameters was investigated. P-type graphene sheets were grown by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, while 4H-SiC material consists of an epilayer structure of n-/n+ on bulk n-SiC. Two photodetector devices have been studied, one with monolayer graphene (MLG) and the other with bilayer graphene (BLG). The proposed photodetector structure reveals the highest spectral responsivity known of a G/4H-SiC UV photodetector so far. Electronic and optoelectronic characterizations were done under an ultraviolet wavelength range from 240 to 350 nm. The results show two spectral responsivity maxima (Rmax) at 285 nm and 300 nm wavelengths. Exhibiting two maxima in spectral responsivity and detectivity is caused by the constructive and destructive interference effects of multiple reflections at the SiC epilayer's interfaces. The photodetector devices exhibit high spectral responsivity (R ? 0.09 AW?1), maximum detectivity (D* ? 2.9 × 1012 Jones), and minimum noise equivalent power (NEP ? 0.17 pWHz-1/2) in both devices. Using bilayer graphene instead of monolayer showed no significant change in both the photogenerated current and the spectral responsivity due to the higher absorption coefficient of bilayer graphene, however, it exhibited a significant improvement in the response speed. The response speed was found to increase by 50 % when bilayer graphene was used as a hole collecting electrode in the G/4H-SiC junction. This is because bilayer graphene creates a narrower depletion layer and higher electric field, which promotes efficient charge separation and recombination. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.

High Voltage Response of Graphene/4h-sic Uv Photodetector With Low Level Detection
(Elsevier, 2023) Jehad, Ala K.; Çelebi, Cem; Ünverdi, Özhan; Çelebi, Cem; 04.05. Department of Pyhsics; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
A self-powered graphene/silicon carbide (G/4H-SiC) ultraviolet photodetector of a p-i-n like-structure with high voltage response has been fabricated to detect and measure low intensity ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Bilayer graphene sheet grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method was transferred on the top of an epilayer structure of n-/n+ 4 H-SiC. In this structure, two Schottky contacts were formed: one at G/ n- 4H-SiC interface and the other at bulk-4 H-SiC/Cr/Au interface. The photodetector's characteristic measurements revealed low dark current of - 0.58 nA and spectral voltage responsivity of - 0.75 V/W at 300 nm wavelength. Under low level UV illumination of 300 nm wavelength, the photodetector exhibited a leakage current and a photogenerated response voltage of 1.1 nA and 10 mV, respectively. The time-dependent photovoltage measurements displayed a rapid photovoltage response with rise and decay times of -74 ns and - 580 ns, respectively. This novel device holds promise for applications requiring sensitive and self-powered UV detection.
