TLDR
In this article, a comparative study of n-MgZnO/p-Si UV-B photodetector performance was carried out with different device structures, and the experimental results demonstrate superior photoresponse characteristics of the p-n heterojunction detector against the Schottky type metal-semiconductor-metal counterpart, including a sharper cutoff wavelength at 300 nm, a larger peak photoresponsivity of 1 A/W, and a faster response speed.
Abstract
A comparative study of n-MgZnO/p-Si UV-B photodetector performance was carried out with different device structures. The experimental results demonstrate superior photoresponse characteristics of the p-n heterojunction detector against the Schottky type metal-semiconductor-metal counterpart, including a sharper cutoff wavelength at 300 nm, a larger peak photoresponsivity of 1 A/W, and a faster response speed. The role of built-in field and low interface scattering in p-n heterojunction is explored, and the energy band diagram of n-MgZnO/p-Si is employed to interpret the efficient suppression of visible light photoresponse from Si substrate, revealing the applicability of this heterostructure in fabrication of deep ultraviolet detectors.

Solution-processed ultraviolet photodetectors based on colloidal ZnO nanoparticles.

TL;DR: The photocurrent of the device is associated with a light-induced desorption of oxygen from the nanoparticle surfaces, thus removing electron traps and increasing the free carrier density which in turn reduces the Schottky barrier between contacts and ZnO nanoparticles for electron injection.
