Controlled Concentration of Hydrogen Atoms Key to Routine Use of ZnO as Semiconductor

Zinc oxide is a "jack of all trades" - thousands of tons thereof are produced all over the world every year. Its fields of utilization range from food additive to sun screening agents. It is even significant as semiconductor, although the great breakthrough in this field is yet to come. Perfect doping is not yet possible.
