Abstract

One dimensional (ID) heterojunction arrays with high-density well-aligned ZnO nanowires (ZnO NWs) on p-type semiconductor has been demonstrated to be potential building blocks for photovoltaic (PV) and photodetecting devices applications due to its direct/wide band gap and the oriented geometry which provides a high carrier collection efficiency [1-6]. In this paper, we present the synthesis of vertically aligned ZnO NWs on a p-type gallium nitride (GaN) layer by using an easy hydrothermal method to form ZnO NW/p-GaN na no heterojunction (NHJ) arrays f or optoelectronic devices applications. The optoelectronic properties of the ZnO NWs/p-GaN N HJs with good UV sensitivities and superior PV performances under an UV (366 nm) light and asimulated AM1.5G solar illumination were reported. Effects of the length of ZnO NWs on the PV performance of the ZnO NWs/p-GaN NH Js were also investigated and discussed.
