Non-Polar ZnO Thin Films and LED Devices

Abstract

ZnO materials have being researched in recent 30 years as a hot topic. ZnO is a third generation of semiconductor, it can be prepared into various forms of films and nanostructures, and they have excellent optical properties, electrical properties and magnetic properties. Because the polar ZnO’s quantum wells have a strong electric field, this will have a great impact on its optical properties. But non-polar ZnO has reduced such a strong electric field, so it greatly improved the luminescent performance. It’s more excellent than polar ZnO in the optical performance. In recent years, non-polar ZnO thin films’ research became increasingly evident. This article summed up the performances, preparations and applications of non-polar ZnO, and there are some suggestions. All of these are good to the further study of non-polar ZnO.
