Transparent diodes formed by a heterojunction between p-type CuS-ZnS and n-type ZnO thin films were fabricated by sequential chemical bath deposition and sol-gel spin coating. The diodes are transparent in the visible (approximate to 70% at 550nm) and exhibit a good rectifying characteristics, with I-f/I-r ratios of up to 800 at +/- 1V, higher than most of the reported solution-processed diodes measured at a similar bias. More importantly, when operated as a self-powered (zero bias) UV photodetector, they show stable and fast (<1s) photoresponse with a maximum responsivity of 12mAW(-1) at 300nm. Both the response time and responsivity of the p-CuZnS/n-ZnO UV photodiode are comparable or superior to similar solution-processed devices reported in the literature.
