Fabrication and characterization of n-Zn0/p-AlGaN heterojunction light-emitting diodes on 6H-SiC substrates
We report on the fabrication of n-ZnO/p-AlGaN heterojunction light-emitting diodes on 6H-SiC substrates. Hydride vapor phase epitaxy was used to grow p-type AlGaN, while chemical vapor deposition was used to produce the n-type ZnO layers. Diode-like, rectifying I-V characteristics, with threshold voltage ~3.2V and low reverse leakage current ~10(-7)A, are observed at room temperature. Intense ultraviolet emission with a peak wavelength near 389 mn is observed when the diode is forward biased; this emission is found to be stable at temperatures up to 500K and shown to originate from recombination within the ZnO.

Abstract

We report on the fabrication of n-ZnO/p-AlGaN heterojunction light-emitting diodes on 6H-SiC substrates. Hydride vapor phase epitaxy was used to grow p-type AlGaN, while chemical vapor deposition was used to produce the n-type ZnO layers. Diode-like, rectifying I-V characteristics, with threshold voltage ~3.2V and low reverse leakage current ~10(-7)A, are observed at room temperature. Intense ultraviolet emission with a peak wavelength near 389 mn is observed when the diode is forward biased; this emission is found to be stable at temperatures up to 500K and shown to originate from recombination within the ZnO.
