Title: | Study on native and extrinsic defects in p-type Zn0 semiconductors - by density functional theory and experimental methods | Authors: | YU ZHIGEN | Keywords: | ZnO, p-type, Dopant Source, Density Functional Theory | Issue Date: | 7-Nov-2005 | Citation: | YU ZHIGEN (2005-11-07). Study on native and extrinsic defects in p-type Zn0 semiconductors - by density functional theory and experimental methods. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | This thesis explores the problem of p-type ZnO semiconductor fabricating for UV light-emitting diode (LED) and UV laser applications. A systematic research on the native and extrinsic defects in ZnO is conducted by using a combined approach of computer simulation and experiment. Advance in fundamental understanding of ZnO semiconducting behaviors is achieved, through electronic structure modeling techniques, and p-n homojunction ZnO LED is successfully made using single dopant source physical vapor deposition (PVD) technique guided by the developed model. The electroluminescence on a prototype of p-n homojunction ZnO diode is observed at room temperature. This research not only solved the mystery of p-type ZnO conduction, overcame the difficulty in practical fabrication of p-n homojunction ZnO, but also successfully demonstrated a general research strategy from ab initio to tackle scientific and technological problems. | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/16969 |
