Abstract

III–V semiconductors have a lot of promise for new optoelectronic applications. A survey of different research led us to that heterostructure devices are framed by the thin film deposition of III and V semiconductors. A heterojunction is an interface formed by two different semiconductor layers or areas. A heterostructure is the arrangement of numerous heterojunctions in a device. Heterojunction devices in view of III–V expected possibility for the manufacture of effective solar cells. Semiconductor diode lasers are used in the manufacture of many applications like DVD and CD players, as well as fiber optic handsets. In the synthesis of lasing heterostructures, rotating layers of different III–V compound semiconductors are utilized. This paper presents types of various heterojunctions with a collection of optical and electronic properties of various III & V compound semiconductors.
