Two-dimensional tungsten disulfide (WS2) is a promising material for scalable large-area light-emitting diodes (LED) due to its direct bandgap, stability, and high photoluminescence (PL). Teamed with zinc oxide (ZnO), an electron-transport n-type semiconductor, they form the basis for an n-i-p LED architecture. This study explores the interactions between WS2 and both single-crystalline ZnO and spatial atomic layer deposition (SALD)-grown ZnO. Emphasizing the optoelectronic interaction of this heterostructure, various characterization techniques such as PL and Raman spectroscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy, Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy, and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy are employed. The results reveal a stronger optoelectronic interaction in WS2-SALD ZnO, attributed to higher strain. Furthermore, we observe energy-level alignment at the interface in both cases, while noting the presence of OH groups in SALD ZnO but their absence in single-crystalline ZnO.
