Abstract

We report a GaN based metal–semiconductor–metal (MSM) infrared photodetector enabled with azimuthally distributed sub-wavelength gratings fabricated on one of the working electrodes. Under illumination, hot electron transfer is introduced by the plasmonic resonance in the infrared waveband formed at...
