ZnO-based light emitting diodes were fabricated on c-plane sapphire using ZnO:P∕Zn0.9Mg0.1O∕ZnO∕Zn0.9Mg0.1O∕ZnO:Ga p-i-n heterostructures. The p-i-n heterojunction diodes are rectifying and show light emission under forward bias. The electroluminescence spectra shows deep level emission at low bias, but near band edge ultraviolet emission at high voltage bias. A decrease in leakage currents in as-fabricated structures was achieved via low temperature oxygen annealing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
