Sputtered ZnO, how good is it?: Schottky diodes
Zinc Oxide (ZnO) thin films are used in Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC) in LEDs and detectors. ZnO is a very forgiving material which displays its semiconducting properties when deposited in many different ways. For LEDs and Solar Cells, thin and uniform films are needed at least in parts of the device. DC or RF…
