Abstract

This article investigated the total ionizing dose (TID) effects on the metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) \beta $-Ga2O3 solar-blind ultraviolet photodetector under bias conditions through photoelectric response tests. The photocurrent and dark current of the device exhibited a notable increase after 2 Mrad(Si) TID irradiation. The TID irradiation caused a slight degradation in a photo-To-dark current ratio (PDCR). Additionally, microscopic characteristic changes and degradation mechanisms due to TID irradiation were evaluated using Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The TID-induced oxygen vacancy defect in the \beta $-Ga2O3 film increased both the photocurrent and dark current of the device. This study demonstrated the outstanding TID radiation tolerance of biased \beta $-Ga2O3 solar-blind ultraviolet photodetectors, highlighting their significant potential for applications in the field of optoelectronics under extreme environmental conditions.
