Recent experimental data indicate ZnO-based photonics devices such as light emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes (LDs) that use arsenic doped p-type ZnO would have technical and operational advantages to those based on GaN. Principal advantages includeease of film growth at lower cost, larger… More

The program goal is to develop UV to visible light emitting diodes based on ZnO and its alloys. The target devices are one one that will emit in the UV (300 nm) and one that will emit in the violet (400 nm), each with power greater than 5 mW. Recent data indicate ZnO-based photonic devices such as… More

Radiation-hard UV detectors will be developed with ZnO in Phase I efforts by MOXtronics, Inc. (MOX). ZnO is a very suitable material for fabrication of high-speed, high-detectivity, and radiation-hard UV detectors due to its unique structural, electrical and optical properties. MOX has achieved… More

High-efficiency UV detectors will be developed in the Phase II program with ZnO and its alloy (ZnBeO). ZnO and ZnBeO are a very suitable material for fabrication of high-speed, high-detectivity, and radiation-hard UV detectors due to their unique structural, electrical and optical properties. The… More

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will fabricate solar-blind UV detectors (SBDs) using BeZnO, a new wide bandgap semiconductor material developed by the proposing company, MOXtronics, Inc. These SBDs would be very sensitive and efficient for detection of UV radiation in the… More

This Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Phase I project will conduct feasibility studies for development of light emitting diodes (LEDs) that emit in the green spectral region. A need exists for efficient green emitting LEDs for use as a green source used singly and also for use in LED lamps… More

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will assess new designs for single-element solid state ultraviolet (UV) detectors based on BeZnO alloy material with cut-off wavelengths 300 to 370 nm, thereby eliminating undesired visible and infrared (IR) radiation. Photomultiplier… More
