    摘要: Devices and methods of fabrication of ZnO based single and multi-junction photovoltaic cells are disclosed. ZnO based single and multijunction photovoltaic cells, and other optoelectronic devices include p-type, n-type, and undoped materials of ZnxA1-xOyB1-y, wherein the alloy composition A and B, expressed by x and y, respectively, varies between 0 and 1. Alloy element A is selected from related elements including Mg, Be, Ca, Sr, Cd, and In and alloy element B is selected from a related elements including Te and Se. The selection of A, B, x and y, allows tuning of the material's band gap. The band gap of the material may be selected to range between approximately 1.4 eV and approximately 6.0 eV. ZnxA1-xOyB1-y based tunnel diodes may be formed and employed in ZnxA1-xOyB1-y based multi-junction photovoltaic devices. ZnxA1-xOyB1-y based single and multi-junction photovoltaic devices may also include transparent, conductive heterostructures and highly doped contacts to ZnO based substrates.
