Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to introduce UV sensors based on GaAs material and specially suited for low light power detection in spectroscopic systems and energy measurements of UV radiation in industrial and biomedical applications. Of particular interest here are n-type GaAs planar photoconductors optimized for UV detection and UV dosimeters made of plasma hydrogenated n⁺-type GaAs. After a description of the devices and their technology, an analysis of their electrical and optical properties is given. The results obtained are reviewed in terms of static responsivity and efficiency as a function of wavelength.
