Abstract
Transparent conducting nanoscale-domes were periodically patterned on a Si substrate by nanoimprint method. Transparent conductor of indium-tin-oxide (ITO) was shaped as a nanodome, which effectively drives the incident light effectively into a light-absorber and therefore induces a substantially enhanced photo-response. An ITO nanodome is electrically isolated from the neighboring nanodomes. This structure benefits to provide a low contact between a Si substrate and a front metal electrode giving an efficient electrical path. The ITO nanodome device showed a significantly enhanced photo-response of 6010 from the value of 72.9 of a planar ITO film. The electrical and optical advantage of an ITO nanodome is suitable for various photoelectric applications.
