摘要
n-ZnO nanorod/p-CuAlO2 heterojunction light-emitting diodes have been fabricated on p(+)-Si substrates. The CuAlO2 thin film was deposited by dc-magnetron sputtering while the ZnO nanorods (NRs) were fabricated using the vapor-phase transport method. The current-voltage characteristics of the devices showed good rectifying behavior with a high forward-to-reverse current ratio of around 120 at +/- 7 V. Strong ultraviolet electro-luminescence centered at similar to 390 nm and a broad green-band emission were observed from the diode at room-tempera tu re. The p-CuAlO2 layer was found to facilitate hole injection from p(+)-Si into n-ZnO while confining the electrons at ZnO/CuAlO2 interface, thus effectively enhancing the recombination emission efficiency in ZnO NRs.
