Abstract

Over the past few years, the available literature shows signaled great progress in improving the performance of ultraviolet and infrared detectors, even exceeding the physical limit of detection determined by signal and background fluctuation limits. This is particularly true for Ga₂O₃ phototransistors and a new generation of photodetectors with active areas containing low-dimensional solids. The purpose of this paper is to show cases of overestimation of the performance of ultraviolet and infrared detectors noted by the author and to draw attention to their fundamental physical limitations which are overlooked in the characterization of detectors.
