The symbol of the phototransistor is very similar to any normal transistor except for the base terminal. Unlike a normal transistor, a phototransistor has only two terminals, an emitter and collector. It is similar to BJT except for the exposed base instead of a terminal. They are used for sensing light pulses of high speed and small magnitude. The light striking the base converts into a base current that amplifies the current between the emitter and collector proportional to the intensity of light. It is a three-layer semiconductor device whose light-sensitive base is exposed.
Advantages & Disadvantages of PhototransistorsĪ phototransistor is a light-controlled switch that switches a circuit and amplifies the current when exposed to light.Collector Characteristics of Phototransistor.
Parameters & Characteristics of Phototransistor. This β-Ga 2O 3 phototransistor will provide a perspective for the next generation optoelectrical systems. Additionally, the hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN)/β-Ga 2O 3 phototransistor can behave as a photonic synapse with ultralow power consumption of ~ 9.6 fJ per spike, which shows its potential for neuromorphic computing tasks such as facial recognition. Besides, first-principles calculations reveal the decent stability of β-Ga 2O 3 nanosheet against oxidation and humidity without significant performance degradations. The phototransistor shows excellent DUV photoelectrical performance with a high responsivity of 1.01 × 10 7 A/W, a high external quantum efficiency of 5.02 × 10 9%, a sensitive detectivity of 2.98 × 10 15 Jones, and a fast rise time of 0.2 s under 250 nm illumination. In order to further improve the responsivity of UV photodetectors based on β-Ga 2O 3, in present work, high-performance β-Ga 2O 3 phototransistors with local back-gate structure were experimentally demonstrated. Deep ultraviolet (DUV) phototransistors are key integral of optoelectronics bearing a wide spectrum of applications in flame sensor, military detector, oil spill detection, biological sensor, and artificial intelligence fields.
