Zinc Oxide Bulk, Thin Films and Nanostructures: Processing, Properties, and Applications

by Chennupati Jagadish (Editor), Stephen J. Pearton (Editor)

With an in-depth exploration of the following topics, this book covers the broad uses of zinc oxide within the fields of materials science and Recent advances in bulk , thin film and nanowire growth of ZnO (including MBE, MOCVD and PLD), - The characterization of the resulting material (including the related ternary systems ZgMgO and ZnCdO), - Improvements in device processing modules (including ion implantation for doping and isolation ,Ohmic and Schottky contacts , wet and dry etching), - The role of impurities and defects on materials properties - Applications of ZnO in UV light emitters/detectors, gas, biological and chemical-sensing, transparent electronics, spintronics and thin film
