Title:
HETERO Pn JUNCTION SEMICONDUCTOR AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/098464
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A hetero pn junction semiconductor characterized by comprising an electrically conductive polymer which is a p-type semiconductor and nanoparticles of an inorganic oxide which is an n-type semiconductor, the interstices among the nanoparticles being filled with the conductive polymer so as to satisfy equation (1). Vp/Vn=X×σn/σp (0.1≤X≤10) Vp = volume of the conductive polymer, a p-type semiconductor σp = electrical conductivity of the conductive polymer, a p-type semiconductor Vn = volume of the inorganic-oxide nanoparticles, an n-type semiconductor σn = electrical conductivity of the inorganic-oxide nanoparticles, an n-type semiconductor The hetero pn junction semiconductor is produced by mixing nanoparticles of the inorganic oxide with a monomer for the conductive polymer to disperse the nanoparticles in the monomer, irradiating the dispersion with light whereby the nanoparticles generate holes, and simultaneously applying a constant current while controlling current density and/or current application time, thereby polymerizing the monomer through photoelectrochemical reaction to form an electrically conductive polymer.
