An electrical device with light-responsive layers is disclosed. One or more electrically conducting stripes, each insulated from each other, are deposited on a smooth surface of a substrate. Then metal oxide layers, separated by a composite diffusion layer, are deposited. On top of the topmost metal oxide layer another set of elongated conductive strips are disposed in contact with the topmost metal oxide layer such that junctions are formed wherever the top and bottom conducting stripes cross. The resulting device is light responsive only when a certain sign of bias voltage is applied and may be used as a photodetector. An advantage that may be realized in the practice of some disclosed embodiments of the device is that this device may be formed without the use of conventional patterning, thereby significantly reducing manufacturing difficulty.
