The wide band gap semiconductors ZnO and GaN and their related alloys are interesting materials for the production of blue and ultraviolet optoelectronic devices, such as light emitting diodes (LEDs), laser diodes and photo diodes. Active regions based on ZnO may further improve the efficiency of current short wavelength devices based on GaN and InGaN due to the higher exciton binding energy in ZnO. We report on the growth, fabrication, optical and electrical characterization of heterostructures based on the MgZnO/AlGaN material system, which can be seen as a first step towards more sophisticated devices including MgZnO/ZnO quantum wells in the active region.
