Abstract
ZnO rod arrays/CuSCN heterojunctions are fabricated by depositing ZnO rod arrays films using two-step chemical bath deposition (CBD) and CuSCN thin films using successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) on ITO substrate successively. The structures and morphologies of ZnO films and CuSCN films, analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy and metallurgical microscope, show that ZnO films are hexagonal wurtzite structure and consisted of vertical polycrystalline rods with diameter of 1μm, CuSCN films are β-phase structure and consisted of elongated grains with length of 3μm. Current–voltage (I–V) measurements of ZnO/CuSCN heterojunctions show good diode characteristics with rectification ratio about 48.3 at 3V. The forward conduction is, respectively, determined by carrier recombination in the space charge region, defect-assisted tunneling and exponential distribution trap-assisted space charge limited current mechanism with the increase of forward voltage. Also, a band diagram of ZnO/CuSCN heterojunctions has been proposed to explain the transport mechanism.
