Abstract: Gallium nitride p-i-n ultraviolet photodiodes (PDs) with a titanium dioxide (TiO2) nano-particles roughened surface have been fabricated. It was found that the responsivity and external quantum efficiency can be improved 60% on the surface roughened PDs. It was also found that light absorption can be enhanced from various incident angles by the TiO2 roughened surface. Furthermore, the high detectivity of 9.2 times 1013 cmldrHz1 /2ldrW-1 can be achieved from the PD with a rough surface. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
