ZnTe(ZnTe∶Cu)多晶薄膜的XPS研究

用共蒸发法在室温下制备了ZnTe及ZnTe∶Cu多晶薄膜,测量了电导率温度曲线,发现不掺杂的ZnTe薄膜的暗电导随温度的增加而线形增加,呈常规的半导体材料特征;掺Cu的ZnTe薄膜在温度较低时,lnσ随温度升高而缓慢增加,随后缓慢降低,达到一极小值,当温度继续升高时又陡然增加,呈现异常现象。用XPS研究了N₂气氛下退火前后表面状态,发现不掺Cu的ZnTe薄膜呈现富Te现象。掺Cu后Te氧化明显,以ZnTe形式存在的Te明显减少;ZnTe∶Cu薄膜中Zn的含量在退火前后变化明显,退火前,Zn主要以ZnTe形式存在,退火后Zn原子向表面扩散,使表面成分更加均匀,谱峰变宽;退火时,部分Cu原子进入晶格形成Cu_xTe相,引起载流子浓度变化,导致ZnTe∶Cu多晶薄膜的电导温度关系异常。

CdTe太阳电池背接触层的XPS研究

采用共蒸发法在不同条件下制备了ZnTe和ZnTe∶Cu多晶薄膜,通过XRD和XPS研究了它们的结构和各元素的浓度分布。结果表明,不同衬底温度下沉积的薄膜,结构无明显变化,利用XPS溅射剖析获得了薄膜中各成分浓度随溅射时间变化的分布图,发现不同条件下制备的薄膜,溅射速率不同,各成分随溅射时间的变化也不相同。薄膜中Cu的浓度随溅射时间增加而快速增加,并达到一极大值,然后快速下降。根据Cu浓度的变化研究了ZnTe层对Cu原子的阻挡作用,通过对Cu浓度随时间变化分布图的比较,作者认为,用70 ℃制备ZnTe,而后在常温下制备ZnTe∶Cu的复合膜作为CdTe太阳电池的背接触层,能有效阻挡Cu原子的扩散,提高电池效率。     

Zn空位及Cu掺杂对ZnTe电子结构及光学性质的影响

利用基于密度泛函理论框架下的平面波赝势法和广义梯度近似,计算分析了ZnTe结构本体、掺入杂质Cu(Zn0.875Cu0.125Te)及Zn空位(Zn0.875Te)体系的晶格常数及缺陷形成能,得到了不同体系的态密度、能带结构、集居数、介电函数、损失函数、吸收光谱、光电导率、复折射率及反射率。结果表明,掺杂Cu和Zn空位对ZnTe的晶胞参数、能带结构以及光学性质都产生了一定程度的影响。由于空位及杂质能级的引入,缺陷体系体积减小,晶胞参数也产生了一定的改变,同时缺陷体系禁带宽度减小并给受主能级价带顶提供n型电导性;此外,缺陷体系吸收光谱产生红移,电子在可见光区的跃迁明显增强并出现介电峰,改善了ZnTe的光学性质。

Impact of ZnTe buffer on the electrical properties of n-type GaSb:Te films

We have investigated on the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) of Te-doped GaSb films on ZnTe buffer. Te-doped GaSb (GaSb:Te) films with and without ZnTe buffer were grown on (0 0 1) GaAs substrates. GaSb:Te/ZnTe/GaAs film revealed higher mobility (=631 cm²/V s) in comparison to GaSb:Te/GaAs film (=249 cm²/V s). To explain the higher mobility of GaSb:Te on ZnTe buffer, dislocation density and temperature dependence of Hall measurement results were analyzed. Temperature dependence of Hall measurement shows strong influence of the dislocation scattering, which indicates that dislocation reduction by the ZnTe buffer enhances the carrier mobility of GaSb films.

Effects of metal doping on the physical properties of ZnTe thin films

Zinc telluride (ZnTe) thin films were sublimated on a glass substrate using closed space sublimation (CSS) technique. ZnTe thin films of same thickness were tailored with copper (Cu) & silver (Ag) doping, considered for comparative study. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of as-deposited ZnTe thin film and doped ZnTe samples exhibited polycrystalline behavior. The preferred orientation of (111) having cubic phase was observed. XRD patterns indicated that the crystallite size had increased after silver and copper immersion in as-deposited ZnTe thin films. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the change of as-deposited and doped sample's grains sizes. EDX confirmed the presence of Cu and Ag in the ZnTe thin films after doping respectively. The optical studies showed the decreasing trend in energy band gap after Cu and Ag-doping. Transmission also decreased after doping. Resistivity of as-deposited ZnTe thin film was about 10⁶ Ω cm. The resistivity was reduced to 68.97 Ω cm after Cu immersion, and 10⁴ Ω cm after Ag immersion. Raman spectra were used to check the crystallinity of as-deposited, Cu and Ag-doped ZnTe thin film samples.     

Preparation of p-type CdS thin films and in situ dark conductivity in vacuum deposited CdS:Cu films

CdS:Cu thin films were prepared using a vacuum co-evaporation technique. The Hall measurements indicate that the conductivity characteristic of CdS thin films transformed from highly compensated in as-grown or weakly annealed materials to p-type conductive in strongly annealed materials. X-ray diffraction spectra show that as-deposited thin films were the hexagonal phase of CdS except the presence of copper for high Cu doping and the diffraction peaks of Cu disappeared after annealing. From the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy we found the ionization of Cu atoms and the formation of an acceptor level. In situ dark conductivity in vacuum as-deposited CdS:Cu was performed in the temperature range between 27 and 250 °C. An abnormal temperature dependence of conductivity was observed in medium and heavily Cu-doped films. The formation of a p-type material at a certain temperature was also studied by the hot probe measurements, which indicates a complex compensation process in the Cu-doped CdS films.     

Study of polycrystalline bulk CuIn1-xGaxTe2

Polycrystalline CuIn_1−xGa_xTe₂ bulk films were synthesized by reacting, in stoichiometric proportions, high purity Cu, In, Ga and Te in a vacuum sealed quartz ampoule. The phase structure and composition of the bulk films were analysed by X-ray diffraction and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, respectively. The bulk samples, of p-type conductivity, are found to be near-stoichiometric, polycrystalline, with tetragonal chalcopyrite structure, predominantly oriented along a direction perpendicular to the (1 1 2) plane. Photoluminescence spectra were recorded at 7 K and 700 mW to characterize the defects and the structural quality. The main peak as a function of composition has been studied.     

Evidence for insulator–metal transition in amorphous chalcogenide Se–Ge–Te films

The temperature dependence of the dc conductivity and thermoelectric power was determined for five different amorphous chalcogenide Se–Ge–Te films, with Ge?=?3.0–22?at.%, Se?=?0–97?at.% and Te?=?0–97?at.%. The films were prepared by thermal evaporation of GeSe₄, GeTe₄ and GeSe₂Te₂ quenched bulk materials. Values of the activation energy calculated from the temperature dependence of both electrical conductivity and thermoelectric power showed a decrease with increasing Ge content in the Se–Ge films as well as with replacement of Te for Se in the Se–Ge–Te films. The results showed an Anderson transition, with the conductivity showing insulating behaviour on the Ge–Se side to metallic behaviour at the binary composition Ge–Te. The radius of localization was obtained for the different compositions investigated. The wave function associated with the charge carriers at the composition Ge_3.3Te_96.7 is non-localized. A minimum metallic conductivity of 237?±?5?(Ω?cm)^?1 was found.
