High-performance UV detectors are of great significance for various applications. Plasmonic structures enable great improvement of the performance of detectors. However, to push the plasmonic enhancement to photo response into the deep-UV region presents some challenges. In this work, we found that the optical properties of the supporting layer play important roles in achieving the optimal plasmonic enhancement. Therefore, we fully considered the dependence of the optical constants of the MgZnO supporting layer, which is a promising material to realize deep-UV photodetectors, on microstructure and crystalline quality, which are related to the fabrication method. Based on the optical constants, we designed an Al mesh plasmonic structure and fabricated it with a polystyrene monolayer as a mask. Finally, we demonstrated a three-times enhancement to photo response with UV radiation at 254 nm.

Carcinogenic (bactericidal) radiation (λ = 200–300 nm with a peak at 254 nm) is present in natural (Sun) and artificial (lamps) source of UV radiation. Its intensity is very low as compared to other types of radiation, but it strongly affects the health of human beings. To prevent oncological diseases, it is important to monitor the carcinogenic radiation level; i.e., selective photodetectors are required. A UV photodetectors based on n-4H-SiC Schottly barriers and p+-n junctions are proposed. The quantum efficiency spectrum of such detectors is very close to the spectrum of relative action of carcinogenic radiation on human beings due to the direct optical transition at 4.9 eV in 4H-SiC. The quantum efficiency (at the spectral peak 254 nm) amounts to about 0.3 electrons/photon for virtually zero sensitivity in other spectral regions. Quantum efficiency in the wavelength range 247–254 nm is practically independent of temperature in the range from −100 to +300°C.
