Transparent p‐type CuI layers with high hole mobility can be fabricated on flexible plastic sheets, a system which has been unattainable with p‐type transparent oxide semiconductors. Mildly heat‐treated CuI layers have mobilities of ≈20 cm2 V−1 s−1, which are comparable to those of p‐type GaN epilayers. Highly transparent p–n diodes with sufficient rectification ratio (106) can be manufactured by employing a heterojunction of p‐type CuI and amorphous n‐type In‐Ga‐Zn‐O layers on plastic sheets. Thus, CuI can be regarded as an excellent transparent p‐type semiconductor for flexible transparent electronics.
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.
