Because of its wide band gap, low cost, strong radiation hardness and high chemical stability, ZnO are regarded as one of the most promising candidates for UV photodetectors. Additionally, doping in ZnO with Mg elements can adjust the bandgap largely and make it feasible to prepare UV photodetectors with different cut-off wavelengths. ZnO-based photoconductors, Schottky photodiodes, metal\u2013semiconductor\u2013metal photodiodes and p\u2013n junction photodetectors have been developed. In this work, it mainly focuses on the ZnO and ZnMgO films photodetectors. We analyze the performance of ZnO-based photodetectors, discussing recent achievements, and comparing the characteristics of the various photodetector structures developed to date.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s100908604","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,9,19]],"date-time":"2010-09-19T09:41:46Z","timestamp":1284889306000},"page":"8604-8634","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":677,"title":["ZnO-Based Ultraviolet Photodetectors"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Kewei","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (MANA), National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), Tsukuba 305-0044, Japan"}]},{"given":"Makoto","family":"Sakurai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (MANA), National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), Tsukuba 305-0044, Japan"}]},{"given":"Masakazu","family":"Aono","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (MANA), National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), Tsukuba 305-0044, Japan"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,9,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"537","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-0248(01)01305-7","article-title":"AlGaN-Based UV Photodetectors","volume":"230","author":"Monroy","year":"2001","journal-title":"J.
