This work reports on the fabrication of an improved sensitivity metal–insulator–metal (MIM) diode. They devise an asymmetric structure diode that cascades vanadium, vanadium pentoxide, and aluminium (V–V 2 O 5 –Al) thin film layers. The MIM diode is fabricated using electron‐beam lithography, sputter deposition and metal liftoff techniques. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis is performed to determine the phase composition of the V 2 O 5 insulating thin film. Electrical characterisation of the fabricated V–V 2 O 5 –Al shows a clear high sensitivity at −316 mV that reaches −8.52 V −1 with a dynamic resistance of 5.024 kΩ.
