Enhanced UV–Vis Rejection Ratio in Metal/BaTiO3/β‐Ga2O3 Solar‐Blind Photodetectors by Nathan Wriedt, Lingyu Meng, Dong Su Yu, Chris Chae, Kyle Liddy, Ashok Dheenan, Sushovan Dhara, Roberto C. Myers, Oleg Maksimov, Richard Blakeley, Sanjay Krishna, Jinwoo Hwang, Hongping Zhao, Joe McGlone, Siddharth Rajan

“…Abstract The fabrication and characterization of metal/BaTiO3/β‐Ga2O3 solar‐blind photodetectors are reported. β‐Ga2O3 is a promising material for solar‐blind photodetectors due to its large bandgap and the availability of low defect‐density melt‐grown substrates. In this work, structures are introduced that employ high‐permittivity dielectric/semiconductor heterojunctions to enhance the performance of a Schottky photodetector. …”
