Enhanced output power using MgZnO/ZnO/MgZnO double heterostructure in ZnO homojunction light emitting diode

چکیده
A diode with Sb-doped p-type ZnO, MgZnO/ZnO/MgZnO double heterostructure, and undoped n-type ZnO layers was grown on c-plane sapphire substrate by plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy. Hall effect measurement showed that the top p-type Sb-doped ZnO layer has a hole concentration of 1 10cm . Mesa geometry light emitting diodes were fabricated with Au/Ni and Au/Ti Ohmic contacts on top of the p-type and n-type layers, respectively. Ultraviolet emission was achieved, which yielded an output power of 457 nW at 140 mA. The enhancement of the output power is attributed to carrier confinement in the good-quality intrinsic layer of the double heterostructure. The spatial distribution of light emission was characterized. VC 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3598136]

Low-threshold ZnO random lasing in a homojunction diode with embedded double heterostructure
An electrically pumped random laser diode was fabricated with a MgZnO/ZnO/MgZnO double heterostructure embedded in a ZnO pn junction. Gain can be achieved at very low-threshold current owing to exciton processes. Light closed loops are formed by random multiple scattering on vertical column boundaries in the thin film. The tilted and rough mesa edge planes serve as refraction mirrors, giving ri...

In this work, a particle-based Monte Carlo model is used to quantify the potential of terahertz sources based on the ZnO-based material system relative to existing devices based on GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells. Specifically, two otherwise identical quantum cascade structures based on ZnO/ MgZnO and GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells are designed, and their nonequilibrium carrier distributions are then comp...

We report bright white-light electroluminescence (EL) from a diode structure consisting of a ZnO nanorod (NR) and a p-type conducting polymer of poly(fluorine) (PF) fabricated using a hydrothermal method. ZnO NRs are successfully grown on an organic layer of PF using a modified seeding layer. The EL spectrum shows a broad emission band covering the entire visible range from 400 to 800 nm. White...

An electrically pumped ZnO homojunction random laser diode based on nitrogen-doped p-type ZnO nanowires is reported. Nitrogen-doped ZnO nanowires are grown on a ZnO thin fi lm on a silicon substrate by chemical vapor deposition without using any metal catalyst. The p-type behavior is studied by output characteristics and transfer characteristic of the nanowire back-gated fi eld-effect transisto...
