In this report, we demonstrate high spectral responsivity (SR) in MBE grown epitaxial beta-Ga2O3-based solar blind metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photodetectors (PD). The (-201)-oriented beta-Ga2O3 thin film was grown using plasma-assisted MBE on c-plane sapphire substrates. MSM devices fabricated with Ni/Au contacts in an interdigitated geometry were found to exhibit peak SR > 1.5 A/W at 236-240 nm at a bias of 4V with a UV to visible rejection ratio > 10(5). The devices exhibited very low dark current 10(3). These results represent the state-of-art performance for the MBE-grown beta-Ga2O3 MSM solar blind detector. Published by AIP Publishing.
