摘要
-ZnO:Al/ (-)-ZnO/-MgO/-GaN heterostructured diodes have been fabricated by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. The electroluminescence (EL) of the -ZnO:Al/ (-)-ZnO/-MgO/-GaN diodes has been investigated. All EL spectra are dominated by ultraviolet (UV) emission peaked at around 368 nm. However, EL performances of the devices can be tuned through controlling the electrical parameters of ZnO:Al films. With the variation of the ZnO:Al films, EL spectra could evolve into random lasing action from conventional EL. The electrical parameters of the corresponding ZnO:Al films were researched, and the related UV emission mechanism is discussed in terms of the energy-band theory of the heterojunctions.
