Abstract

A photoconductor which has an active layer including channels of ultrafine wire structures each having cross sectional lengths comparable to an electron de Broglie wavelength is provided. The photoconductor has a high gain and a considerably increased response speed. The electric current of the photoconductor may also be increased by introducing a superlattice structure.
