Abstract
) and impedance measurements, we observed significant improvements in conductivity and performance under illumination. Notably, there was an increase in current conduction and a reduction in impedance, highlighting the advantages of illumination. Collectively, these findings emphasize the promising potential of the Au/Al-doped ZnO/p-Si/Al heterostructure, particularly in the realms of optoelectronic devices and photovoltaics. With its ability to efficiently mobilize charges and adeptly assimilate light, this heterostructure stands as a frontrunner for transformative applications in these technologically vital domains.
