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…

ZnO LEDs recent advances
The advent of LEDs as lighting devices is the direct result of the invention of blue LEDs. This feat was achieved by Nichia in the mid-1990s using the GaN technology. Other technologies such SiC were experimented and saw a laboratory level success. Because of the size of the market for that kind of product and…
