We investigated the atomic layer deposition (ALD) process for nitrogen doped ZnO and the application for n-ZnO : N/p-Si (NW) coaxial hetero-junction photodetectors. ALD ZnO:N was deposited using diethylzinc (DEZ) and diluted $NH_4OH$ at $150^{\circ}C$ of substrate temperature. About 100~300 nm diameter and 5 um length of Si nanowires array were prepared using electroless etching technique in 0.108 g of $AgNO_3$ melted 20 ml HF liquid at $75^{\circ}C$. TEM images showed ZnO were deposited on densely packed SiNW structure achieving extraordinary conformality. When UV (360 nm) light was illuminated on n-ZnO:N/p-SiNW, I-V curve showed about three times larger photocurrent generation than film structure at 10 V reverse bias. Especially, at 660 nm wave length, the coaxial structure has 90.8% of external quantum efficiency (EQE) and 0.573 A/W of responsivity.

Zinc Oxide (ZnO)는 wurtzite 결정구조를 가지고 있으며, 밴드갭 에너지가 약 3.4eV인 산화물 반도체 이다. GaN가 도핑된 ZnO 박막을 Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) 법을 이용하여 사파이어 기판과 실리콘 기판에 각각 증착하였다. $500^{\circ}C$의 증착온도에서 1at%~10at%까지의 GaN 도핑농도에 따른 ZnO 박막의 결정성, 성분 분석을 비롯한 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. 첨가된 GaN의 농도에 따라 ZnO 박막의 결정성이 변화하였으며, 농도 변화에 상관없이 ZnO(002) 방향으로 성장함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 실리콘 기판에 증착한 GaN-doped ZnO 박막은 5at%에서 $9.3\;{\times}\;10-3{\Omega}cm$, 10at%에서 $9.2\;{\times}\;10-3{\Omega}cm$의 비저항 값을 가지며 각각 p-type 특성을 나타내었다.

ZnO/n-Si junctions were fabricated by spin coating with ZnO precursor produced by the sol-gel process. In order to increase the electrical conductivity of ZnO films, the films were n-doped with Al impurity and subsequently annealed at about $450^{\circ}C$ under reducing environments. The ohmic contacts between n-Si and AI for a bottom electrode were successfully fabricated by doping the rear surface of Si substrate with phosphorous atoms. The front surface of the substrate was also doped with phosphorous atoms for improving the efficiency of the solar cells. Consequently, conversion efficiencies ranging up to about 5.3% were obtained. These efficiencies were found to decrease slowly with time because of the oxide films formed at the ZnO/Si interface upon oxygen penetration through the porous ZnO. Oxygen barrier layers could be necessary in order to prevent the reduction of conversion efficiencies.

Al-doped p-type ZnO films were fabricated on n-Si (100) and homo-buffer layers in pure oxygen at $450^{\circ}C$ by RF magnetron sputtering. Target was ZnO ceramic mixed with 2wt% $Al_2O_3$. XRD spectra show that the Al-doped ZnO thin films have ZnO crystal structure and homo-buffer layers are beneficial to Al-doped ZnO films to grow along c-axis. Hall Effect experiments with Van der Pauw configuration show that p-type carrier concentrations are ranged from $1.66{\times}10^{16}\;to\;4.04{\times}10^{18}cm^{-3}$, mobilities from 0.194 to $2.3cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$ and resistivities from 7.97 to $18.4{\Omega}cm$. P-type sample has density of $5.40cm^{-3}$ which is smaller than theoretically calculated value of $5.67cm^{-3}$. XPS spectra show that O1s has O-O and Zn-O structures and A12p has only Al-O structure. P-ZnO:Al/n-ZnO:Al junctions were fabricated by magnetron sputtering. V-I curves show that the p-n junctions have rectifying characteristics.

Effects of doping concentration and annealing atmosphere on the luminescent properties of $Er^{3+}$ doped ZnO phosphor powders were investigated. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra of ZnO:Er exhibit an orange emission band at around 575 nm, while those of pure ZnO show a green emission at 520 nm. Emission difference between ZnO:Er and pure ZnO is attributed to the energy transfer of Er ions in ZnO. The highest PL intensity is obtained by doping 1 mol% Er to ZnO. Luminescent properties of ZnO:Er phosphors annealed at $N_2$+vacuum atmosphere are superior to those annealed at $N_2$ atmosphere.

Ga-doped polycrystalline ZnO films on glass substrates were prepared by sputtering the targets, which had been prepared by sintering discs consisting of ZnO powder and various amounts of G$a_2O_3$, to investigate the effects of gallium doping and sputtering conditions on electrical properties. Optimizing the RF power density, argon gas pressure and gallium content, transparent Ga-doped ZnO films with resistivity less than 1$0^{-3}$ohm-cm are obtained. Electron concentration of undoped and Ga-doped ZnO films are order of $10^{18}$, $10^{21}$/c$m^2$respectively. After heat treatment in air and $N_2atmosphere, $ the resistivity of Ga-doped ZnO films increases by about two orders of magnitude. The optical transmission is above 80% in the visible range and the optical band widens as the Ga content increases.

Arsenic doped p-type ZnO thin films have been realized on intrinsic (100) GaAs substrate by RF magnetron sputtering and thermal annealing treatment. p-Type ZnO exhibits the hole concentration of $9.684{\times}10^{19}cm^3$, resistivity of $2.54{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}cm$, and mobility of $25.37\;cm^2/Vs$. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra of As doped p-type ZnO thin films reveal neutral acceptor bound exciton ($A^{0}X$) of 3.3437 eV and a transition between free electrons and acceptor levels (FA) of 3.2924 eV. Calculated acceptor binding energy ($E_A$) is about 0.1455 eV. Thermal activation and doping mechanism of this film have been suggested by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). p-Type formation mechanism of As doped ZnO thin film is more related to the complex model, namely, $As_{Zn}-2V_{Zn}$, in which the As substitutes on the Zn site, rather than simple model, Aso, in which the As substitutes on the O site. ZnO-based p-n junction was fabricated by the deposition of an undoped n-type ZnO layer on an As doped p-type ZnO layer.
