Abstract
Pulsed laser deposited ZnO layers on 6H-SiC substrates showed the six-fold symmetry, indicating a two-dimensional epitaxial growth mode. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was employed to study the valence band discontinuity and interface formation in the ZnO/6H-SiC heterojunction. The valence band offset was measured to be 1.38 ± 0.28 eV, leading to a conduction band offset value of 1.01 ± 0.28 eV. The resulting band lineup in epitaxial ZnO/6H-SiC heterojunction is determined to be of staggered-type alignment.
