Fabrication of Stannate Perovskite Structure as Optoelectronics Material: An Overview

This paper presents a review of recent fabrication progress of perovskite-type material suited for the future optoelectronics applications. Wide varieties of optoelectronic devices include solar cell, liquid displays, transparent FETs, etc are becoming the mainstream for the future electronics global industry. In June 2015, the major breakthrough of perovskite structure in solar energy harvesting with PCE of 20.1% has achieved. Since then, numerous research has been conducted progressively to further enhance the performance of the perovskite structure as new alternative materials for optoelectronics applications. The perovskite-type oxide is having typical ABO3 crystallized structure. It is one of an important class of materials that have many exceptional physical properties such as superconductivity, colossal magnetoresistance, ferromagnetic, piezoelectric, high-transition-temperature superconductivity, ferroelectricity, piezoelectricity, and photoelectrochemical sensitivity. In this paper, we reviewed development progress one of the major classes of perovskite-type materials namely Stannate-based. Calculated data from simulation results such as DFT and first principle were excluded and only fabricated devices are covered in this paper. (paper)
