We carried out a nitrogen plasma treatment process to obtain N‐doped ZnO single crystal. The treated sample showed an acceptor related emission located at 3.354 eV when excited by a 325‐nm He–Cd laser at 85 K. Raman spectra revealed the formation of a bond between Zn and N atoms. The surface work function indicated increasing of hole concentration of the N‐plasma‐treated ZnO. By constructing a ZnO‐based homojunction, the I – V curve displayed perfect rectification performance.
