Electrical properties and Raman scattering investigation of Ag doped ZnO thin films

Ag-doped ZnO thin films were deposited on quartz glass substrates by a radio-frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering technique at room temperature (RT). The influence of Ag doping content on the electrical and Raman scattering properties of ZnO films were systematically investigated by Hall measurement system and Raman scattering spectrum. Two additional local vibrational modes (LVMs) at 230.0 and 394.5 cm^?1 induced by Ag dopant in ZnO:Ag films were observed by Raman analyses at RT, corresponding to Ag atoms located at O sites (LV M_Zn?Ag) and Zn sites (LV M_Ag?O) in ZnO lattice. Moreover, we further studied the effect of donor Ag_O and acceptor Ag_Zn defects on the electrical properties of ZnO:Ag films. The results indicate that O-rich condition is preferred to suppress the formation of Ag_O defects and enhance Ag_Zn defects. The p-type ZnO:Ag film was achieved by properly optimizing the annealing conditions under O-rich condition.     

Preparation of p-type ZnO:(Al, N) by a combination of sol--gel and ion-implantation techniques

We report the preparation of p-type ZnO thin films on (0001) sapphire substrates by a combination of sol--gel and ion-implantation techniques. The results of the Hall-effect measurements carried out at room temperature indicate that the N-implanted ZnO:Al films annealed at 600\du\ have converted to p-type conduction with a hole concentration of $1.6\times10¹⁸cm^-3, a hole mobility of 3.67cm²/V.s and a minimum resistivity of 4.80cm.\Omega$. Ion-beam induced damage recovery has been investigated by x-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence (PL) and optical transmittance measurements. Results show that diffraction peaks and PL intensities are decreased by N ion implantation, but they nearly recover after annealing at 600\du. Our results demonstrate a promising approach to fabricate p-type ZnO at a low cost.     

Electrical and optical properties of Ga doped zinc oxide thin films deposited at room temperature by continuous composition spread

Ga doped ZnO (GZO) thin films were deposited on glass substrates at room temperature by continuous composition spread (CCS) method. CCS is thin films growth method of various Ga_xZn_1−xO(GZO) thin film compositions on a substrate, and evaluating critical properties as a function position, which is directly related to material composition. Various compositions of Ga doped ZnO deposited at room temperature were explored to find excellent electrical and optical properties. Optimized GZO thin films with a low resistivity of 1.46 × 10⁻³ Ω cm and an average transmittance above 90% in the 550 nm wavelength region were able to be formed at an Ar pressure of 2.66 Pa and a room temperature. Also, optimized composition of the GZO thin film which had the lowest resistivity and high transmittance was found at 0.8 wt.% Ga₂O₃ doped in ZnO.     

Induction of p-type conduction in sputtered deposited Al-N codoped ZnO thin films

Al and N codoped ZnO thin films were grown on n-Si (100) substrate by sputtering technique. Hall effect measurements of as-grown films exhibited n-type conduction, however 500 °C Ar annealed codoped films showed p-type conductivity with a hole concentration of 9.9 × 10¹⁶ cm^− 3, resistivity of 15.95 Ω-cm and hole mobility of 3.95 cm²/Vs, respectively. Codoped ZnO thin films were found to be highly c-axis oriented with good crystal quality. A neutral acceptor-bound exciton and donor-acceptor-pair emissions that appeared at room temperature photoluminescence measurement verify p-type conduction in Al and N codoped ZnO film. The current-voltage characteristics of p-n heterojunction evidently showed a diode like rectifying behaviour.     

Fabrication and characterization of magnetron sputtered arsenic doped p-type ZnO epitaxial thin films

Arsenic doped p-type ZnO thin films were grown on sapphire substrate by magnetron sputtering. As grown films reveal p-type conduction confirmed by Hall-effect and photoluminescence measurements. The p-type film with a hole concentration of 2.16× 10¹⁷ cm⁻³, mobility of 1.30 cm²/V.s and resistivity of 22.29 Ω-m were obtained at substrate temperature of 700 °C. ZnO homojunction synthesized by in-situ deposition of As doped p-ZnO layer on Al doped n-ZnO layer showed p-n diode like characteristics. X-ray pole figure and Transmission Electron Microscope studies confirm epitaxial nature of the films. Photoluminescence results exhibit the peaks associated with donor acceptor pair emission.     

Effect of substrate temperature on the structural and optical properties of ZnO and Al-doped ZnO thin films prepared by dc magnetron sputtering

ZnO and Al-doped ZnO(ZAO) thin films have been prepared on glass substrates by direct current (dc) magnetron sputtering from 99.99% pure Zn metallic and ZnO:3 wt%Al₂O₃ ceramic targets, the effects of substrate temperature on the crystallization behavior and optical properties of the films have been studied. It shows that the surface morphologies of ZAO films exhibit difference from that of ZnO films, while their preferential crystalline growth orientation revealed by X-ray diffraction remains always the (0 0 2). The optical transmittance and photoluminescence (PL) spectra of both ZnO and ZAO films are obviously influenced by the substrate temperature. All films exhibit a transmittance higher than 86% in the visible region, while the optical transmittance of ZAO films is slightly smaller than that of ZnO films. More significantly, Al-doping leads to a larger optical band gap (E_g) of the films. It is found from the PL measurement that near-band-edge (NBE) emission and deep-level (DL) emission are observed in pure ZnO thin films. However, when Al was doped into thin films, the DL emission of the thin films is depressed. As the substrate temperature increases, the peak of NBE emission has a blueshift to region of higher photon energy, which shows a trend similar to the E_g in optical transmittance measurement.

NH<Subscript>3</Subscript>-assisted growth approach for ZnO films by atmospheric pressure metal-organic chemical vapor deposition

In this paper, we investigated the two effects of a little H₂ and NH₃ gas on the properties of ZnO films grown by atmospheric pressure metal organic chemical vapor deposition (AP-MOCVD) using deionized water (H₂O) and diethylzinc (DEZn) as the O and Zn sources, respectively. Experimental results showed that compared to the effect of a little H₂, it could more effectively improve the surface morphology, crystalline structure, and optical quality of ZnO epilayers by adding a little NH₃ gas into the growth ambient. Furthermore, by adding a little NH₃ gas into the growth ambient, the hydrogen-related D⁰X₁ (I₄):3.365 eV peak disappeared in 10 K photoluminescence spectrum of ZnO films, which indicated the elimination of the unintended hydrogen impurity. The result of the Huang–Rhys factor S (0.113) showed that it was effective for reducing the probability of exciton–phonon scattering of ZnO films by adding a little NH₃ gas into the growth ambient. The electron mobility of ZnO films were also significantly improved by this method with the mobility of 100 cm²V^-1s^-1 measured by Hall measurement at room temperature.

Room temperature growth and properties of ZnO films by pulsed laser deposition

ZnO thin films were prepared by pulsed laser deposition at room temperature on glass substrates with oxygen pressures of 10-30 Pa. The structural, electrical, and optical properties of ZnO films were studied in detail. ZnO films had an acceptable crystal quality with high c-axis orientation and smooth surface. The resistivity was in the 10² Ω cm order for ZnO films, with the electron concentration of 10¹⁶-10¹⁷ cm⁻³. All the films showed a high visible transmittance ∼90% and a high UV absorption about 90-100%. The UV emission ∼390 nm was observed in the photoluminescence spectra. The oxygen pressures in the 10-30 Pa range were suitable for room temperature growth of high-quality ZnO films.     

Influence of Al concentration on electrical, structural and optical properties of Al-As codoped p-ZnO thin films

We report the influence of Al concentration on electrical, structural, optical and morphological properties of Al-As codoped p-ZnO thin films using RF magnetron sputtering. Al-As codoped p-ZnO films with different Al concentrations were fabricated using As back diffusion from the GaAs substrate and sputtering Al₂O₃ mixed ZnO targets (1, 2 and 4 at%). The grown films were investigated by Hall effect measurement, X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), photoluminescence (PL) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) to study the electrical, structural, optical and morphological properties of the films. From the XRD, it was observed that both full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) and c-axis lattice constant have similar trends with respect to Al concentration. Hall measurements showed that the hole concentration increases as the Al concentration increases from 10¹⁵ to 10²⁰ cm⁻³. The increase in hole concentration upon codoping was supported by the red shift in the near-band-edge (NBE) emission observed from room temperature PL spectra. The proposed p-type mechanism due to As_Zn-2V_Zn complex was confirmed by low temperature PL and XPS analysis. The low FWHM, resistivity and peak-to-valley roughness observed by XRD, Hall measurement and AFM, respectively, suggest that 1 at% Al-doped ZnO:As film is the best codoped film.
