Abstract

n-ZnO/i-CdZnO thin film was grown on p-type Si substrate by plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE). Rectifying I-V curves show typical diode characteristics. Cyan electroluminescence emissions at around 473 nm were observed when the diodes were forward-biased at room temperature. The emission intensity increases with the increase of the injection current. Room temperature photoluminescence verifies the electroluminescence emissions come from CdZnO layer.
