Abstract

This chapter reviews LEDs using semiconductor materials other than Si. The first example is gallium phosphide (GaP), which is indirect transition-type semiconductors, as is the case of Si. The second one is zinc oxide (zinc oxide). Although it is a direct transition-type semiconductor, it has been difficult to form a p-type crystal in this material for highly efficient LEDs by conventional technologies.
