Zinc Oxide (ZnO) films on sapphire wafers have various applications due to their unique properties, including:
Optoelectronics: ZnO films are used in LEDs, laser diodes, and photodetectors due to their wide bandgap and high exciton binding energy.
Transparent Conductive Oxides (TCOs): ZnO films serve as transparent electrodes in solar cells, flat panel displays, and touchscreens.
Piezoelectric Devices: Their piezoelectric properties make ZnO films suitable for surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices, sensors, and actuators.
Gas Sensors: ZnO films are sensitive to gases, making them ideal for gas sensors in environmental monitoring and industrial applications.
UV Photodetectors: The wide bandgap allows for the detection of UV light without the need for a filter, useful in fire detection and UV monitoring.
Spintronics: ZnO films on sapphire wafers are studied for their potential in spintronic devices, exploiting the electron's spin property for advanced electronic applications.
High-Frequency Electronics: ZnO's high electron mobility makes it suitable for high-frequency electronic devices like RF amplifiers.
Nanostructure Template: ZnO films can act as templates for the growth of other nanostructured materials, useful in nanotechnology research.
Biomedical Applications: Due to their biocompatibility, ZnO films are explored for use in biosensors and drug delivery systems.
Photonics: They are used in photonic crystals and waveguides for manipulating light in optical circuits.
