Researchers in India did a broad assessment of the performance of AlGaN and Ga2O3 photodetectors based on the material quality. They introduced a new comprehensive figure of merit (CFOM) to benchmark photodetectors by accounting for their three most critical performance parameters, i.e., gain, noise, and bandwidth. According to their benchmark AlGaN detectors do not have any serious shortcoming that is holding them back from entering the market. They tried to identify the gaps that exist in the research landscape of AlGaN and Ga2O3 solar-blind photodetectors and argue that merely improving the material/structural quality and device performance would not help in making this technology transition from the academic realm…read more.
