Abstract

The results of photoelectric properties and electroluminescent studies of structures ZnO/porous Si/p-type c-Si/Al and ZnO/porous Si/p-n c-Si junction/Al are presented. Porous Si is prepared by stain etching of c-Si covered with thin Al film. The transparent ZnO film allows light emission through the top surface of the device under forward electrical bias. Photocurrent is observed under reverse bias and a photovoltaic effect is measured on the p-n junction PS device. The model based on injection of minority carriers through a narrow energy barrier into the porous Si and the presence of the barrier at the interface porous Si/c-Si is suggested for describing the electrical, photoelectric and luminescent properties of the structures.
