  • Patent number: 7842539
    Abstract: There are provided a method of manufacturing a zinc oxide semiconductor, and a zinc oxide semiconductor manufactured using the method. A metal catalyst layer is formed on a zinc oxide thin film that has an electrical characteristic of a n-type semiconductor, and a heat treatment is performed thereon so that the zinc oxide thin film is modified into a zinc oxide thin film having an electrical characteristic of a p-type semiconductor. Hydrogen atoms existing in the zinc oxide thin film are removed by a metal catalyst during the heat treatment. Accordingly, the hydrogen atoms existing in the zinc oxide thin film are removed by the metal catalyst and the heat treatment, and the concentration of holes serving as carriers is increased. That is, an n-type zinc oxide thin film is modified into a highly-concentrated p-type zinc oxide semiconductor.

  • 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.
