Patent ID: 8274082

Claim:
An electronic semiconductor, comprising: a multi-component copper and nickel oxide represented by OCu x Ni y in at least one of a non-stoichiometric or a stoichiometric form, and a multi-component Gallium-Tin-Zinc-Titanium-Copper oxide represented by GSZTCO in at least one of a non-stoichiometric or a stoichiometric form, the OCu x Ni y and the GSZTCO used as active p-type and n-type oxides, with or without doping: wherein the OCu x Ni y and the GSZTCO are at least one of an amorphous structure and a crystalline structure and an amount of each element that composes the OCu x Ni y and the GSZTCO varies in a range of 0.005 to 0.995 of a total molar composition of each of the OCu x Ni y and the GSZTCO; and wherein an electronic functionality and an optical functionality of the semiconductor device are controlled by at least one of the amount of each element and by an addition of other impurities including at least one of a zirconium and a nitrogen in amounts up to 0.20 of a total composition of the oxides.
