The effect of the volumetric ratio of the tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq3) on its blend with the N,N'-Di [(1-naphthyl)-N,N'-diphenyl]-(1,1'-biphenyl)-4,4'-diamine (NPD) (Alq3:NPD) is investigated and optimized for the UV photodetectors fabrication. The optical and structural properties of Alq3:NPD blend with different volumetric ratios 1:1, 2:1, and 3:1 is studied in the context of the absorbance, transmittance, optical energy gap and XRD patterns. Results show that the absorbance is increased by 11% at A = 260 nm with the increase in the volumetric ratio. In contrast, the optical energy bandgap that is extrapolated from the Tauc’s plot is decreased with the increase in the volumetric ratio, and the 2:1 ratio shows the lowest energy in the UV region. In terms of the XRD investigation, the 2:1 volumetric ratio shows the highest intensity for the crystallinity peak at 36.6°. The fabricated photodetector with a different volumetric ratio of the active layer Alq3:NPD blend shows the best performance with the ratio 2:1.

To distinguish the ultraviolet (UV) photoresponse of Ohmic and Schottky contact devices, we have fabricated symmetrical and nonsymmetrical devices by standard lithography based on a single WO3 nanowire. For the Ohmic contact device, the photocurrent can change from 100 nA to 300 nA. Even 200 s under UV illumination, nonsaturated photocurrent can be observed, and the fall time is more than 1000 s. But for the Schottky contact device, the rise and fall time are faster than that of Ohmic device. The barrier height of Schottky device can be easily controlled through the oxygen adsorption and desorption on the junction region, which can be served as a ‘‘gate’’ that effectively tunes the conductance of the device. Therefore, the Schottky barrier plays a very important role in the rapid-response of UV photodetector.
