| Research Abstract |
ZnO has some features such as a bandgap energy of 3.28 eV and an exciton binding energy of 60 meV as an important criterion for optical device applications. ZnO-based material system is expected for nexrgeneration optical semiconductor materials. However, we had some problems on epitaxial films quality, difficulties of bandgap engineering and p-type doping. In order to overcome these problems, we have deveopled remote-plasma-enhanced metalorganic chemical deposition system (RPE-MOCVD) for ZnO-based systems and succeeded in growth of ZnO(Mg, Cd) O alloy systems having bandgaps fron 3.7 ev down to 1.9 eV. We have done ZnO based double heterojunctions growth on p-4H-SiC substates and achieved RGB electroluminescence emissions via current injection. ZnO nanodots on Si substate abailable have revealed a blue-shift due to the quantum mechanical effect.
We have opend the research field oxide semiconductor nano-photonics. based on ZnO-based material systems.
