High-sensitivity visible-blind UV detectors made with organic semiconductors

High sensitivity visible-blind UV detectors were fabricated with organic semiconductors. The photo-sensitivity at 350 nm reaches 75 mA/Watt, corresponding to quantum efficiency of approximately 27% el/ph. The visible/UV suppression ratio is more than 104 without optical filters. These UV detectors are of linear intensity dependence with fast response time. The simple fabrication process allows these UV detectors to be made in large size, in flexible forms or onto non-planar substrates with low cost. The fabrication process also allows these UV detectors to be integrated with electronic devices or optical devices.
