Abstract

In this work, we reconstructed the refractive index from transmission spectra obtained by the ultraviolet-visible characterization technique of Zinc Oxide thin films deposited by electrodeposition technique at an electric current density of 28.86 mA/cm² and then a high temperature treated at 450°C for 1.5 h in air. After, the results obtained are applied in GaAs PIN Photodiode to improve the spectral response of this device. The ZnO thin films with reconstructed optical properties increase and decrease respectively the transmission and reflection coefficients of GaAs PIN Photodiode; this produced an enhancement of device the spectral response.
