The structure and optical properties of SiC film on Si (111) substrate with a ZnO buffer layer by RF-magnetron sputtering technique

We have fabricated a multiply layer SiC/ZnO on Si substrates using the RF-magnetron sputtering technique with the targets of a single crystalline SiC and a polycrystalline ZnO. The as-deposited films were annealed in the temperature range of 600–1000 °C under nitrogen ambient. We have observed a strong ultraviolet (UV) emission (370 nm) from the as-deposited SiC/ZnO film and an intense violet emission (412 nm) from the film annealed at high temperature (1000 °C) under nitrogen ambient. The SiC film quality and the PL intensities are considered to be strongly dependent on the crystalline quality of the ZnO buffer layer. With the increase of the annealing temperature, the crystalline quality of the ZnO buffer layer is improved, resulting in the improvement of the SiC film quality and the increase of the PL intensities. The thin films have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to provide the evidences of photoluminescence (PL). We suggest that the UV emission could be attributed to the nanocrystal silicon particles, that the 395 nm band is related to ZnO buffer layer and has a great relation to the crystalline quality of the ZnO film, and that the violet emission is associated with the emission luminescence from 6H-SiC, which bears on the SiC film quality. The obtained results are expected to have important applications in modern optoelectronic devices.     

Post-annealing influence on properties of N-In codoped ZnO thin films prepared by ion beam enhanced deposition method

N-In codoped ZnO thin films were prepared by ion beam enhanced deposition method (IBED) and were annealed in nitrogen and oxygen ambient after deposition. The influence of post-annealing on structure, electrical and optical properties of thin films were investigated. As-deposited and all post-annealed samples showed preferential orientation along (0 0 2) plane. Electrical property studies indicated that the as-deposited ZnO film showed p-type with a sheet resistance of 67.5 kΩ. For ZnO films annealed in nitrogen with the annealing temperature increasing from 400 to 800 °C, the conduction type of the ZnO film changed from p-type to n-type. However, for samples annealed in oxygen the resistance increased sharply even at a low annealing temperature of 400 °C and the conduction type did not change. Room temperature PL spectra of samples annealed in N₂ and in O₂ showed UV peak located at 381 and 356 nm, respectively.     

Influence of annealing temperature on structural, optical and magnetic properties of Mn-doped ZnO thin films prepared by sol-gel method

Thin films of Zn_1−xMn_xO (x=0.01) diluted magnetic semiconductor were prepared on Si (1 0 0) substrates by the sol-gel method. The influence of annealing temperature on the structural, optical and magnetic properties was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atom force microscopy (AFM), photoluminescence (PL) and SQUID magnetometer (MPMS, Quantum Design). The XRD spectrum shows that all the films are single crystalline with (0 0 2) preferential orientation along c-axis, indicating there are not any secondary phases. The atomic force microscopy images show the surfaces morphologies change greatly with an increase in annealing temperature. PL spectra reveal that the films marginally shift the near band-edge (NBE) position due to stress. The magnetic measurements of the films using SQUID clearly indicate the room temperature ferromagnetic behavior, and the Curie temperature of the samples is above room temperature. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) patterns suggest that Mn²⁺ ions were successfully incorporated into the lattice position of Zn²⁺ ions in ZnO host. It is also found that the post-annealing treatment can affect the ferromagnetic behavior of the films effectively.     

ZnO薄膜的性质对水热生长ZnO纳米线阵列的影响

用水热法在ZnO薄膜上制备了直径、密度及取向可控的ZnO纳米线阵列。ZnO薄膜是通过原子层沉积(ALD)方法制备并在不同温度下退火处理得到的,退火温度对ZnO薄膜的晶粒尺寸、结晶质量和缺陷性质有很大的影响。而ZnO薄膜的性质对随后生长的ZnO纳米线的直径、密度及取向能起到调节控制的作用。通过扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、X射线衍射(XRD)仪和光致发光(PL)测试对ZnO薄膜和ZnO纳米线进行了表征。最后得到的垂直取向的ZnO纳米线阵列适合在发光二极管和太阳能电池等领域使用。     

Influence of annealing on the structure and optical properties of Zn40Se60 thin films

Thin films of Zn₄₀Se₆₀ were prepared by the vacuum thermal evaporation technique. The influence of annealed temperature on the structural and optical properties was investigated using the X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical transmission. The XRD studies show that the as-deposited film is amorphous in nature, but the crystallinity improved with increasing the annealing temperature. Furthermore the particle size and crystallinity increased whereas the dislocation and strains decreased with increasing the annealing temperature. SEM studies showed that the annealing temperature induced changes in the morphology of the as-deposited sample. Various optical constant have been calculated for as-deposited and annealed films. The mechanism of the optical absorption follows the rule of direct transition. It was found that, the optical energy gap (E_g) decreased with increasing the annealing temperature. These results can be interpreted by the Davis and Motte model. On the other hand the maximum value of the refractive index (n) is shifted toward the long wavelength by increasing the annealing temperature.     

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.     

退火对ZnO:Al薄膜光致发光性能的影响

 采用溶胶-凝胶工艺在石英衬底上制备ZnO:Al（AZO）薄膜，通过不同温度的退火处理，研究了退火对AZO薄膜结构和光致发光特性的影响。XRD图谱表明：所制备的薄膜具有c轴高度择优取向，随着退火温度的升高，(002)峰的强度逐渐增强，同时(002)峰的半高宽逐渐减小,表明晶粒在不断增大。未退火样品的光致发光（PL）谱由361 nm附近的紫外带边发射峰和500 nm附近的深能级发射峰组成。样品经退火后，以500 nm为中心的绿带发射逐渐减弱，而带边发射强度有所增强,并且逐渐红移到366 nm附近，与吸收边移动的测试结果相吻合。对经过不同时间退火的样品分析表明，AZO薄膜的发光特性与退火时间也有很大关系，时间过短可见波段的发射较强，但时间过长会使晶粒发生团聚，导致紫外发射峰强度减弱。     

ZnO-Si不同退火条件对生长ZnSe薄膜的影响
