The II-IV-N2 system semiconductors including ZnSnN2 have recently been energetically developed because these semiconductors can be considered as quasi-group-III nitrides. The II-IV-N2 semiconductors have wide element selectivity, which enables us to design novel semiconductors composed of non-toxic and earth-abundant elements. For this reason, ZnSnN2 is considered as a suitable semiconductor for a photovoltaic absorber, a photo catalyst, etc. We have clarified some structural and electrical properties of ZnSnN2.
In this article, we summarize recent outcomes and introduce the potential for II-IV-N2 system semiconductors.
