摘要： The development of high-performance dual-band photodetectors (PDs) capable of simultaneous deep ultraviolet (DUV) and infrared (IR) detection is critical for advanced optoelectronic applications, particularly in missile warning and target identification systems. Conventional UV/IR PDs often suffer from UV (320-400~nm) noise interference and limited responsivity due to the use of narrow-bandgap semiconductors and self-powered operation modes. To address these challenges, high-quality $\beta$-Ga$_{2}$O$_{3}$ thin films were epitaxially grown on c-plane sapphire via metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), exhibiting excellent crystallinity and surface morphology. Unlike conventional heterojunctions ($\beta$-Ga$_{2}$O$_{3}$/graphene or $\beta$-Ga$_{2}$O$_{3}$/TMDs), the $\beta$-Ga$_{2}$O$_{3}$/BP structure leverages BP's tunable bandgap and high carrier mobility while maintaining strong type-II band alignment, thereby facilitating efficient charge separation under both UV and IR illumination. We present a high-sensitivity dual-band PD based on a $\beta$-Ga$_{2}$O$_{3}$/black phosphorus (BP) pn heterojunction. The ultrawide bandgap of $\beta$-Ga$_{2}$O$_{3}$ enables selective detection of DUV light while effectively suppressing interference from long-wave ultraviolet (UVA, 320-400 nm), whereas BP provides a layer-dependent infrared (IR) response. Photocurrent analysis reveals distinct carrier transport mechanisms, with electrons dominating under UV illumination and holes contributing predominantly under IR exposure. A systematic investigation of the bias-dependent photoresponse demonstrates that the responsivity increases significantly at higher voltages. Under a 7 V bias, the device exhibits a high responsivity of $4.63 \times 10^{-2}$ $\rm{mA/W}$ at 254 nm and $2.35 \times 10^{-3}$ $\rm{mA/W}$ at 850 nm. This work not only provides a viable strategy for developing high-performance dual-band PDs but also advances the understanding of heterojunction-based optoelectronic devices for military and sensing applications.
