  • Publication number: 20090166674
    Abstract: In an ultraviolet light receiving element using a group III nitride semiconductor, the ultraviolet light receiving element having an enhanced light receiving sensitivity is provided. An electron is excited from a valence band to a conduction band 61 by means of a depleted layer generated by irradiating a light having energy larger than band gap energy of an undoped layer 44, and electron-hole pairs are generated. A band structure is varied by the generated electron-hole pairs, and thus a portion having an energy lower than that of a quasi-Fermi level 62 of an electron at a boundary between an undoped layer 43 and the undoped layer 44, so that a two-dimensional electron gas 63 is formed. Since the two-dimensional electron gas 63 mentioned above serves as a channel, a large current is flowed by applying a voltage between drain electrode 46-source electrode 7.
