Newly-developed fabrication of a p-n heterojunction diode constructed with a p-Si nanowire (NW) and an n-ZnO nanoparticle (NP) thin-film by the dielectrophoresis (DEP) technique is demonstrated in this study. With the bias of 20 Vp-p at the input frequency of 1 MHz, the most efficient assembly of the n-ZnO NPs is shown for the fabrication of the p-n heterojunction diode with a p-Si NW. The p-n heterojunction diode fabricated in this study represents current rectifying characteristics with the turn on voltage of 1.1 V. The diode can be applied to the fabrication of optoelectrical devices such as photodetectors, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), or solar cells based on the high conductivity of the NW and the high surface to volume ratio of the NP thin film.

The electrical properties of an inorganic/organic heterojunction has been investigated by spin coating the p-type polymer poly(3,4 ethylenedioxythiophene) : poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) on an n-type gallium doping zinc oxide (GZO) film. Current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the fabricated heterojunction diodes have a good rectifying characteristics. The barrier height is calculated 0.8 eV.

The Zn7e-lnSb heterojunctions was prepared by interface alloying technique. The structure of this beterojunction had p-i-n which semi-insulating ZnTe laver at interface of this heterojunction was formed by diffusing In of InSb into ZnTe crystal. The current transport mechanism of this heterojunction was Spacecharge-Limited-Current(SCLC) mechanism by hole at semi-insulating ZnTe layer. The hole wart injected from valence band of p- type SnTe crystal. Orange color electroluminescence was observed at this heterojunction when forward and reversed bias voltage applied.

An epitaxial layer structure for heterojunction p-InGaP/N-InAlGaP solar cell has proposed. Simulation for current density-voltage characteristics has been performed on p-InGaP/N-InAlGaP structure and the simulation results were compared with p-InGaP/p-GaAs/N-InAlGaP structure and homogeneous InGaP pn junction structure. The simulation result showed that the maximum output power and fill factor have greatly increased by replacing n-InGaP with N-InAlGaP. The thicknesses of p-InGaP and n-InAlGaP were optimized for the epitaxial layer structure of p-InGaP/N-InAlGaP.

We fabricate organic single crystal nanowire heterojunction p-n diode poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT) and from Phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester(PCBM) using by liquid-bridge mediated nanotransfer molding(LB-nTM) method. LB-nTM has been reported an one step direct printing method for making well-aligned nanowire arrays. Moreover, multi-patterning nanostructures can be fabricated with the consecutive printing process. As a result, it is possible to make simple and basic concept of heterojunction devices such as lateral organic p-n nanojunction diode. P3HT/PCBM nanowires heterojunction diode has rectifying behavior with on/off ratios of ~20.

Two dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) semiconductors are attractive materials for optoelectric devices because of their direct energy bandgap and transparency. To investigate the feasibility of transparent p-n junctions, we have fabricated a p-n heterojunction consisting of p-type WSe2 and n-type MoS2 flakes since WSe2 and MoS2 with proper electrode metals exhibit p-type and n-type behaviors, respectively. These heterojunctions exhibits gate-tunable rectifying behaviors and photovoltaic effects (ECE ~ 0.2%) indicating that p-n junctions were formed. In addition, photocurrent and photovoltaic effects were observed under light illumination, which were dependent on the gate voltage. In addition, the photocurrent mapping images indicate that the photovoltaic effects comes from the junction area. Possible origins of gate-tunability are discussed.

Heterojunction solar cells of $n-Cd_{1-x}Zn_xS/p-Si$ were fabricated by solution growth technique. The crystal structure, spectral response, surface morphology, and I-V characteristics of the $n-Cd_{1-x}Zn_xS/p-Si$ heterojunction solar cells were studied. The $Cd_{1-x}Zn_xS$ layer deposited on a silicon substrate (111) were found to be a cubic structure with the crystal orientation (111), (220) of the CdS and to be a hexagonal structure with crystal orientation (100) of the ZnS. The open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, fill factor, and conversion efficiency of $n-Cd_{1-x}Zn_xS/p-Si$ heterojunction solar cell under $100mW/cm^2$ illumination were found to be 0.43V, 38mA. 0.76, and 12.4%, respectively.

We investigated the effects of annealing on the electrical and thermal properties of ZTO/4H-SiC heterojunction diodes. A ZTO thin film layer was grown on p-type 4H-SiC substrate by using solution process. The ZTO/SiC heterojunction structures annealed at $500^{\circ}C$ show that $I_{on}/I_{off}$ increases from ${\sim}5.13{\times}10^7$ to ${\sim}1.11{\times}10^9$ owing to the increased electron concentration of ZTO layer as confirmed by capacitance-voltage characteristics. In addition, the electrical characterization of ZTO/SiC heterojunction has been carried out in the temperature range of 300~500 K. When the measurement temperature increased from 300 K to 500 K, the reverse current variation of annealed device is higher than as-grown device, which is related to barrier height in the ZTO/SiC interface. It is shown that annealing process is possible to control the electrical characteristics of ZTO/SiC heterojunction diode.
