There is a wide range of applications for small, fast and transparent photodetectors. For their fabrication ZnO is a promising material, because of its large, direct bandgap. We investigated interdigital metal-semiconconductor-metal structures of different Schottky contact metals on MgxZn1−xO; the concentration of magnesium x varies from 0 to 0,21. The contacts were realized by reactiv DC sputtering, which results in high-quality Schottky contacts. The reproducibility was confirmed by current-voltage measurements of about 80 devices. The detectors were characterized by photocurrent, noise and light beam induced current measurements. Further, we found a correlation between the magnesium concentration and the leakage current. We discuss the quantum efficiency in dependence of x.
