description The metal-semiconductor-metal photodetectors based on the sputtered gallium oxide films on sapphire substrates after various post-thermal treatments have been investigated. The photodetector performance of the furnace-annealed gallium oxide sample degraded with the increase of annealing temperature from 700 to 1000&#x00A0;&#x00B0;C, resulting from the adverse effect of the aluminum cross-diffusion and polycrystalline formation. By rapid thermal annealing at 800&#x00A0;&#x00B0;C, the gallium oxide film can achieve an optimum photodetector performance with the photo&#x002F;dark current ratio of 1.78&#x00A0;&#x00D7;&#x00A0;10<sup>5</sup> (&#x0040;5V and 230&#x00A0;nm), responsivity of 0.553 A&#x002F;W, and fast transient response (rise&#x002F;fall time: 0.2 s&#x002F;0.1 s). The result is comprehensively better than the previous reports by sputtering, which demonstrates that the quasi-single-crystalline gallium oxide film via rapid thermal process has high potential for deep-ultraviolet photodetector applications.
