Solar-blind deep-ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors (PDs) based on the super-wide bandgap semiconductor material Ga2O3 is one of the hot topics of current research, but how to prepare high-performance Ga2O3-based solar-blind PDs in the field of flexible and transparent optoelectronics still faces challenges. In this work, an amorphous Ga2O3 film with high transmittance is grown on a flexible mica substrate by using the radio frequency magnetron sputtering technology. On this basis, using AZO as an electrode material, a transparent metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) structured solar-blind deep ultraviolet photodetector based amorphous Ga2O3 film is fabricated, and the performance of PD in the planar state and after multiple bending are systematically compared and analyzed. The results show that the amorphous Ga2O3 based transparent PD has ultra-high visible light transparency and shows good solar-blind ultraviolet photoelectric characteristics. The responsivity of the PD under 254 nm light is 2.69 A/W, and the response time and the recovery time are 0.14 s and 0.31 s, respectively. After bending 300 times, the PD has a photoresponse behavior similar to its planar state, and the performance of the PD has no obvious attenuation phenomenon, showing good flexibility and stability. This work proves that AZO can be used as the electrode material of the next generation of flexible and visible light transparent Ga2O3 based photodetectors, and provides a reference for developing the high-performance flexible and transparent solar-blind deep ultraviolet photodetectors.
