▎ 摘  要

(AlxGa1-x)(2)O-3 is emerging as a promising wide-band-gap sesquioxide for vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV, 10-200 nm) photodetectors and high-power field-effect transistors. However, how the key parameters such as the band gap and crystalline phase of the (AlxGa1-x)(2)O-3-based device vary with stoichiometry has not been explicitly defined, which is due to the unclear underlying mechanism of the Al local coordination environment. In this work, a high-pressure O-2 (20 atm) annealing (HPOA) strategy that can significantly improve the crystallinity of beta-(AlxGa1-x)(2)O-3 and achieve a tunable optical band gap was proposed, facilitating the revelation of the local structure of Al3+ varying with Al content and the kinetic mechanism of Al3+ diffusion. By combining the as-HPOA-treated single-crystalline beta-(Al0.69Ga0.31)(2)O-3 films with p-type graphene (p-Gr), which serves as a transparent conductor, a VUV photovoltaic detector is fabricated, showing an improved photovoltage (0.80 V) and fast temporal response (2.1 mu s). All of these findings provide a rewarding and important strategy for enhancing the band-gap tunability of sesquioxides, as well as the flexibility of zero-power-consumption photodetectors.
