Semiconductors enable the operation of many types of devices. Some important applications are the generation of light, the conversion into electricity and the storage of electrical energy. These materials have managed to improve electronic equipment making them faster, cheaper and more efficient. Obtaining them in a nanostructured form also makes it possible to exploit quantum effects and enhance properties such as conductivity and absorption of these materials. Many studies are carried out with the objective of manufacturing semiconductors with well-defined nanostructures and with simple techniques. In this sense, our work shows the manufacturing and optimization process of an automated system for the growth of semiconductors using the Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) chemical technique. Additionally, the results of the characterizations of the Cu2O, CuO, NiO layers and the ZnO/CuO/NiO heterostructure obtained by this technique are presented.
