    Abstract: An epitaxial structure of a nonpolar AlGaN-based deep-ultraviolet (DUV) photoelectric detector and a preparation method thereof are provided. The epitaxial structure of the nonpolar AlGaN-based DUV photoelectric detector includes a nonpolar AlN buffer layer, a nonpolar Al0.15Ga0.85N buffer layer, and a nonpolar Al0.7Ga0.3N epitaxial layer that are sequentially grown on a LaAlO3 substrate. The LaAlO3 substrate takes a (100) plane as an epitaxial plane, and AlN[11-20] as an epitaxial growth direction. With the LaAlO3 substrate, the epitaxial structure reduces dislocations and stresses between the substrate and the epitaxial buffer layer. By designing two AlGaN epitaxial buffer layers with different components, the epitaxial structure reduces a dislocation density and a surface roughness of the nonpolar AlGaN epitaxial layer, further accelerates photoresponse and detectivity of the detector, and enhances overall performance of the nonpolar AlGaN-based DUV photoelectric detector.

    Abstract: A photoelectric detector chip and a preparation method and application thereof are provided. The photoelectric detector chip includes a bottom electrode, a first GaN layer, an i-InyGa1-yN functional layer, a second GaN layer, an i-InxGa1-xN functional layer, a third GaN layer, and a top electrode that are stacked sequentially, where 0≤x≤1, and y>x; the first GaN layer, the second GaN layer, and the third GaN layer are an n-GaN layer, a p-GaN layer, and an n-GaN layer respectively. The photoelectric detector chip is a vertical-structure dual-band chip. Compared with a transverse structure, the vertical structure can reduce carrier transition time, increase the response speed of the detector, and effectively improve the −3 dB bandwidth of the detector. The dual bands allow the photoelectric detector chip to load voltages in different directions, thus achieving photoelectric detection in different bands.
