Özet

n-ZnO film grown by electrodeposition (ECD) on p-GaAs substrate was characterized by structural, optical, and electrical techniques. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement clearly showed formation of ZnO thin film with a strong c-axis (0002) preferential orientation. Photoluminescence (PL) measurements showed that the grown film has a strong and narrow ultraviolet (UV) emission indicating high-quality ZnO thin film. Current voltage (I-V) measurement of n-ZnO/p-GaAs heterojunction shows diode-like rectifying characteristics with an almost five-order rectification factor and a turn-on voltage of 2 V.
