摘要
In this work, the bandgap of CuO (p-type semiconductor) has been engineered from an indirect bandgap of ∼1 eV to a direct bandgap of 4 eV just by tuning the nanostructure morphology and midgap defect states. The absorption in near-infrared (NIR) and visible regions is ordinarily suppressed by controlling the growth parameters. Considering the increasing scope and demand of varying spectral range (UV-C to NIR) photodetectors, the systematic variation of the available density of states (DOS) at a particular energy level in CuO nanostructures has been utilized to fabricate dual-band (250 nm and 900 nm), broadband (250 nm–900 nm), and UV-C (250 nm) photodetectors. The sensitivity and detectivity of the photodetector for broadband detectors were ∼103 and 2.24 × 1011 Jones for the wavelengths of 900 nm and 122 and 2.74 × 1010 Jones for 250 nm wavelength light, respectively. The UV-C detector showed a sensitivity of 1.8 and a detectivity of 4 × 109 Jones for 250 nm wavelength light. A plausible mechanism for the photoconduction has been proposed for explaining the device operation and the effect of variation in available DOS. The obtained photodetectors are the potential candidates for future optoelectronic applications.
