Abstract:Light detectors are widely used in generating energy from sunlight, medicine, space communications, ozone layer monitoring and missile warning systems, and others. The active materials that potential used as a detector of visible light and UV is ZnO. However, ZnO has a high bandgap of 3.04 eV so it is not suitable for absorbing light at short wavelengths. Cuprous oxide (Cu2O) is a p-type of semiconductor with a small band, therefore it can increase the wavelength absorption range. The aim of this study is to i… Show more
