The comparison between CdS thin films grown on Si(111) substrate and quartz substrate by femtosecond pulsed laser deposition

Two kinds of cadmium sulfate (CdS) thin films have been grown at 600 °C onto Si(111) and quartz substrates using femtosecond pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The influence of substrates on the structural and optical properties of the CdS thin films grown by femtosecond pulsed laser deposition have been studied. The CdS thin films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), photoluminescence (PL) and Raman spectroscopy. Although CdS thin films deposited both on Si(111) and quartz substrates were polycrystalline and hexagonal as shown by the XRD , SEM and AFM results, the crystalline quality and optical properties were found to be different. The size of the grains for the CdS thin film grown on Si(111) substrate were observed to be larger than that of the CdS thin film grown on quartz substrate, and there is more microcrystalline perpendicularity of c-axis for the film deposited on the quartz substrate than that for the films deposited on the Si substrate. In addition, in the PL spectra, the excitonic peak is more intense and resolved for CdS film deposited on quartz than that for the CdS film deposited on Si(111) substrate. The LO and TO Raman peaks in the CdS films grown on Si(111) substrate and quartz substrate are different, which is due to higher stress and bigger grain size in the CdS film grown on Si(111) substrate, than that of the CdS film grown on the amorphous quartz substrate. All this suggests that the substrates have a significant effect on the structural and optical properties of thin CdS films. PACS 81.15.Fg; 81.05.Ea; 78.20.-e; 78.67.-n; 42.62.-b

Growth, structural and optical transport properties of nanocrystal Zn1−xCdS thin films deposited by solution growth technique (SGT) for photosensor applications

Solution Growth Technique (SGT) has been used for deposition of Zn_1−xCdS nanocrystalline thin films. Various parameters such as solution pH (10.4), deposition time, concentration of ions, composition and deposition and annealing temperatures have been optimized for the development of device grade thin film. In order to achieve uniformity and adhesiveness of thin film on glass substrate, 5 ml triethanolamine (TEA) have been added in deposition solution. The as-deposited films have been annealed in Rapid Thermal Annealing (RTA) system at various temperature ranges from 100 to 500 °C in air. The changes in structural formation and optical transport phenomena have been studied with annealing temperatures and composition value (x). As-deposited films have two phases of ZnS and CdS, which were confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies; further the X-ray analysis of annealed (380 °C) films indicates that the films have nanocrystalline size (150 nm) and crystal structure depends on the films stoichiometry and annealing temperatures. The Zn_0.4CdS films annealed at 380 °C in air for 5 min have hexagonal structure where as films annealed at 500 °C have represented the oxide phase with hexagonal structure. Optical properties of the films were studied in the wavelength range 350-1000 nm. The optical band gap (E_g=2.94-2.30 eV) decreases with the composition (x) value. The effect of air rapid annealing on the photoresponse has also been observed on Zn_1−xCdS nanocrystal thin films. The Zn_1−xCdS thin film has higher photosensitivity at higher annealing temperatures (380-500 °C), and films also have mixed Zn_1−xCdS/Zn_1−xCdSO phase with larger grain size than the as-deposited and films annealed up to 380 °C. The present results are well agreed with the results of other studies.     

Factors affecting the electro-optical and structural characteristics of nano crystalline Cu doped (Cd–Zn)S films

This work investigates the effects of the temperature, deposition time and annealing ambient on the electro-optical and structural properties of nano crystalline (Cd–Zn)S films prepared by chemical bath deposition (CBD). The deposited films being uniform and adherent to the glass substrates are amorphous in nature and the crystallinity as well as the grain size is found to increase on post-deposition annealing. The obtained specimens are thoroughly characterized before and after annealing paying particular attention to their structure, composition and morphology. Annealing in air reduces the extent of disorder in grain boundaries and energy band-gap. A correlation between the structural and optical properties is investigated in detail. The surface morphology and structural properties of the as-deposited and annealed (Cd–Zn)S thin films are studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and optical transmission spectra. The optical transmission spectra are recorded within the range of 300–800 nm and 300–900 nm. The electroluminescent (EL) intensity is found to be maximum at a particular temperature, which decreases with further increase in temperature and peaks of photoluminescent (PL) and EL spectra are centered at 546 nm and 592 nm. The emission intensity also increases with increasing thickness of the film.     

High-energy heavy-ion induced physical and surface-chemical modifications in polycrystalline cadmium sulfide thin films

The effect of high electronic energy deposition on the structure, surface topography, optical properties, and electronic structure of cadmium sulfide (CdS) thin films have been investigated by irradiating the films with 100 MeV Ag⁺⁷ ions at different ion fluences in the range of 10¹²–10¹³ ions/cm². The CdS films were deposited on glass substrate by thermal evaporation, and the films studied in the present work are polycrystalline with crystallites preferentially oriented along (002)-H direction. It is shown that swift heavy ion (SHI) irradiation leads to grain agglomeration and hence an increase in the grain size at low ion fluences. The observed lattice compaction was related to irradiation induced polygonization. The optical band gap energy decreased after irradiation, possibly due to the combined effect of change in the grain size and in the creation of intermediate energy levels. Enhanced nonradiative recombination via additional deep levels, introduced by SHI irradiation was noticed from photoluminescence (PL) analysis. A shift in the core levels associated with the change in Fermi level position was realized from XPS analysis. The chemistry of CdS film surface was studied which showed profound chemisorption of oxygen on the surface of CdS.     

Optical properties of ZnO and ZnO:Ce layers grown by spray pyrolysis

In this paper, zinc oxide (ZnO) and cerium-doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Ce) films were deposited by reactive chemical pulverization spray pyrolysis technique using zinc and cerium chlorides as precursors. The effects of Ce concentration on the structural and optical properties of ZnO thin films were investigated in detail. These films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and photoluminescence (PL) measurements. All deposited ZnO layers at the temperature 450 °C are polycrystalline and indicate highly c-axis oriented structure. The dimension of crystallites depends on incorporation of Ce atoms into the ZnO films. The photoluminescence spectra of the films have been studied as a function of the deposition parameters such as doping concentrations and post grows annealing. Photoluminescence spectra were measured at the temperature range from 13 K to 320 K.

Effects of annealing in nitrogen atmosphere and HCl-etching on the photoluminescence spectra of spray-deposited CdS:In thin films

The aim of this work is to find the effect of processing on the photoluminescence (PL) of spray-deposited CdS:In thin films. So the PL spectra of the as-deposited, annealed and HCl-etched CdS:In thin films prepared by the spray pyrolysis (SP) technique were recorded at T = 23 K. The yellow and red bands were observed in the spectrum of the as-deposited film beside bands with weaker intensity in the infrared region. The PL signal was weakened by annealing in nitrogen atmosphere at T = 400 °C and HCl-etching. A deconvolution peak fit was established to find the effects of these treatments on the different bands. The spectrum of the as-deposited film was deconvoluted to 12 peaks, which were reduced to 6 peaks after both treatments. It was found that both treatments have approximately the same effects on the PL spectra; that is they removed most of the peaks and shoulders in the red and infrared regions and attenuated most of the peaks in the yellow region. Some peaks were blue-shifted after annealing which was explained by the growth of nanocrystallites due to the thermal stress that results from the different expansion coefficients of the film and the substrate. These changes were accompanied by a phase change from the mixed (cubic and hexagonal) phase to the hexagonal phase as shown in the X-ray diffractograms.

Annealing effects on the properties of Ga2O3 thin films grown on sapphire by the metal organic chemical vapor deposition

We have prepared the gallium oxide (Ga₂O₃) thin films on sapphire substrates by the metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) technique.

Postdeposition annealing of amorphous Ga₂O₃ films was found to increase the degree of crystallization and the surface roughness. The PL emission intensities of bands in the blue–green and the ultraviolet regions increased by the thermal annealing.

Structure and photoluminescence properties of ZnS films grown on porous Si substrates

ZnS films were deposited on porous silicon (PS) substrates with different porosities. With the increase of PS substrate porosity, the XRD diffraction peak intensity decreases and the surface morphology of the ZnS films becomes rougher. Voids appear in the films, due to the increased roughness of PS structure. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the samples before and after deposition of ZnS were measured to study the effect of substrate porosity on the luminescence properties of ZnS/PS composites. As-prepared PS substrates emit strong red light. The red PL peak of PS after deposition of ZnS shows an obvious blueshift. As PS substrate porosity increases, the trend of blueshift increases. A green emission at about 550 nm was also observed when the porosity of PS increased, which is ascribed to the defect-center luminescence of ZnS. The effect of annealing time on the structural and luminescence properties of ZnS/PS composites were also studied. With the increase of annealing time, the XRD diffraction peak intensity and the self-activated luminescence intensity of ZnS increase, and, the surface morphology of the ZnS films becomes smooth and compact. However, the red emission intensity of PS decreases, which was associated with a redshift. White light emission was obtained by combining the luminescence of ZnS with the luminescence of PS.     

Large Third-Order Optical Nonlinearity of Cadmium Sulphide Nanoparticles Embedded in Polymer Thin Films

A simple method for synthesis of well dispersed cadmium sulphide nanoparticles embedded in a polyethylene glycol matrix （PEG 400） in thin film form is presented. The large blue shift of the band gap energy of the CdS nanoparticles compared to the bulk semiconductors is observed via UV-vis absorption spectra. Photoluminescence spectra of CdS nanocomposite films show that the emission peaks shift towards the longer wavelength with the increase of annealing temperature. Transmission electron microscopic images as well as Raman scattering studies confirm the CdS nanometer size particle formation within the polymer matrix. The particle size is about 8 nm. Selected area electron diffraction （SAED） shows the cubic zinc blende polycrystalline rings. Third-order optical nonlinearity of the CdS nanopartieles embedded in polymer thin films is studied with the Z-scan technique under 1064 nm excitation. The results show that the CdS nanocomposite film exhibits negative nonlinear refraction index and positive absorption coefficient. The film shows large optical nonlinearity, and the magnitude of the third-order nonlinear susceptibility of the film is calculated to be 1.73 × 10^-9 esu. The corresponding mechanism is discussed.
