  • Patent number: 10134930
    Abstract: The present invention provides a 3-dimensional P-N junction solar cell composed of a base board coated with a back plate on the upper face of the same; a P type semiconductor thin film formed on the top side of the back plate which has a 3-dimensional porous structure and is composed of P type semiconductor crystal grains; a N type buffer layer formed on the surface of the crystal grains of the said P type semiconductor thin film with playing a role of coating the thin film; and a transparent electrode formed on the surface of the crystal grains of the P type semiconductor thin film on which the N type buffer layer is formed. The solar cell of the present invention is a P-N junction solar cell including a 3-dimensional photo catalytic thin film, which can provide an improved photoelectric conversion efficiency, compared with the conventional P-N junction solar cell, owing to the formation of the N-type buffer layer on the surface of the crystal grains of the 3-dimensional P type semiconductor thin film.

  • Patent number: 7755098
    Abstract: Provided is a zinc oxide light emitting diode having improved optical characteristics. The zinc oxide light emitting diode includes an n-type semiconductor layer, a zinc oxide active layer formed on the n-type semiconductor layer, a p-type semiconductor layer formed on the active layer, an anode in electrical contact with the p-type semiconductor layer, a cathode in electrical contact with the n-type semiconductor layer, and a surface plasmon layer disposed between the n-type semiconductor layer and the active layer or between the active layer and the p-type semiconductor layer. Since the surface plasmon layer is formed between the n-type semiconductor layer and the active layer or between the active layer and the p-type semiconductor layer, the light emitting diode is not affected by an increase in resistance due to reduction of the thickness of the p-type semiconductor layer, and has improved optical characteristics due to a resonance phenomenon between the surface plasmon layer and the active layer.
