ZnO nanowall networks were prepared by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy without a catalyst on Si(111) substrates.The nanostructures have preferred orientation along the c axis.The nanostructures are about 10 to 20 nm thick and about 50 nm tall.The planar geometry photoconductive type metal-semiconductor-metal photodetector based on the ZnO nanowall networks exhibits a high and wide response spectrum,and no decrease from 250 to 360 nm.With the applied bias below 5 V,the dark current was below 6μA,and the peak responsivity of 15 A/W was achieved at 360 nm.The UV(360 nm) to visible(450 nm) rejection ratio of around two orders could be extracted from the spectra response.
