(CdS: Sb) in the pure and doped CdS1-xSbx layers on Si substrate where x = 0, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 at.% Or any ratios.
Any studied system that has the highest sensitivity and quantum efficiency in the visible region of the spectrum if the response and the quantum efficiency are plotted as a function of wavelength is considered to be very excellent for use as a light detector.
ZnO is is a n type conductive material with large bandgap.
It is always preferred to use low doped and even intrinsic semiconductor as photo detector. Crystalline, polycrystalline or even amorphous Si are suitable for photodetector.
Conceptually it is so that the semicondcutor begins to be sensitive to the incident photon when their energy become equal or greater than its bandgap Eg.
There are many materials which can be used to produce photodetectors including metallic, organic or perovskite materials.
