An ultraviolet (UV) photodetector employing the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) formed at the AlGaN/GaN interface as an interdigitated transducer (IDT) is characterized under optical stimulus. The 2DEG-IDT photodetector exhibits a record high normalized photocurrent-to-dark current ratio (NPDR, $6\times10^{14}$). In addition, we observe a high responsivity ($7,800$ A/W) and ultraviolet-visible rejection-ratio ($10^{6}$), among the highest reported values for any GaN photodetector…
