Tin oxide, SnO_(2) has potential applications in many research areas. Using a chemical vapor deposition CVD method, high-quality single crystalline SnO_(2) nanowire (NW) was synthesized on a large scale. Individual SnO_(2) nanowire based ultraviolet photodetector was fabricated by simply transferring individual nanowire to Pt interdigital electrodes. The photodetector exhibited excellent photoconductive performance in terms of high sensitivity to the ultraviolet 375 nm and infrared 750 nm UV illuminations, fast response and recovery time. It also has perfect stability and reliability, revealing n-type semiconducting behaviour of the tin oxide ultraviolet and infrared photodetecors as an excellent material not only for fabricating highly sensitive photodetecors but also valuable additives that provide new functionality in photodetecors, which will enable the development of high-performance photodetecors.
