Abstract

ZnO nanocrystals hold the potential for use in a wide range of applications particularly in optoelectronics. We report on the fabrication of a highly sensitive p-n junction diode structure based on a single ZnO tetrapod shaped nanocrystal. This device shows a noted response to ultraviolet light with high internal gain. The high responsivities we have observed exceed 104 A/W and are likely due to impact-ionization effects at the p-n junction interface.
