A light‐self‐induced pyro‐phototronic effect in wurtzite ZnO nanowires is proposed as an effective approach to achieve ultrafast response ultraviolet sensing in p‐Si/n‐ZnO heterostructures. The relatively long response/recovery time of zinc‐oxide‐based ultraviolet sensors in air/vacuum has long been an obstacle to developing such detectors for practical applications. The response/recovery time and photoresponsivity are greatly improved by the pyro‐phototronic effect.
