ZnO nanowires Metal-Semiconductor-Metal (MSM) photodetector with platinum (Pt) contact electrodes was fabricated and its optoelectronic properties were examined. The ZnO nanowires used in the experiment were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition method. The electrical performance and photoelectric response performance were studied, and the results showed that the Pt/ZnO nanowires based MSM ultraviolet photodetector exhibited a high sensitivity to 365 nm ultraviolet light, the photocurrent to dark current ratio can reach 9.44×103 with a voltage bias of 5 V, and the response and recovery time were also fast. Schottky barrier mechanism was employed to explain the results.
