氧气含量对射频磁控溅射方法制备的NiO∶Cu/ZnO异质pn结的光电性能的影响

利用磁控溅射方法改变氧气含量制备了一系列NiO∶Cu/ZnO异质pn结。实验结果表明,氧含量对NiO∶Cu/ZnO异质pn结电学影响很大。相对于纯氩溅射,引入一定氧气(O2/(Ar+O2)比例为30%)后,NiO∶Cu/ZnO异质pn结的整流特性明显得到改善。与此同时,NiO∶Cu/ZnO异质pn结的光透过率也从40%增大到80%。这可能是由于氧气的轻量引入致使NiO∶Cu/ZnO异质pn结的结晶得到改善,薄膜内缺陷减少所致。进一步提高氧气含量,直到O2/(Ar+O2)比例至80%后,异质结的整流特性有所削弱,这可能是由于过多氧气的引入造成薄膜缺陷再次增多,进而影响到异质结的整流特性。这一结论得到了EDS、XRD、AFM和UV结果的支持。

Zinc oxide, a multifunctional material: from material to device applications

In this paper we report on some of the recent advances in transparent thin film oxide semiconductors, specifically zinc oxide produced by radio frequency magnetron sputtering at room temperature, with multifunctional properties. By controlling the deposition parameters it is possible to produce undoped material with electronic semiconductor properties, or by doping it to get either n-type or p-type semiconductor behavior. In this work we refer to our experience in producing n-type doped zinc oxide as transparent electrode to be used in optoelectronic applications such as solar cells and position sensitive detectors, while the undoped zinc oxide can be used as active layer of fully transparent thin film transistors.     

Direct observation of nitrogen location in molecular beam epitaxy grown nitrogen-doped ZnO

ZnO is a wide band gap, naturally n-type semiconductor with great promise for optoelectronic applications; the main obstacle yet to be overcome is p-type doping. Nitrogen, the most promising candidate currently being pursued as a dopant, has been predicted to preferentially incorporate into the ZnO lattice in the form of a N-2 molecule at an O site when a plasma source is used, leading to compensation rather than p-type doping. We demonstrate this to be incorrect by using N K-edge x-ray absorption spectra and comparing them with first-principles calculations showing that nitrogen, in fact, incorporates substitutionally at O sites where it is expected to act as an acceptor. We also detect the formation of molecular nitrogen upon annealing. These results suggest that effective p-type doping of ZnO with N may be possible only for low-temperature growth processes.     

Fabrication of p-CuGaS2/n-ZnO:Al heterojunction light-emitting diode grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy and helicon-wave-excited-plasma sputtering methods

Greenish-white electroluminescence (EL) was observed from the heterojunction light-emitting diodes (LEDs) composed of p-type (001) CuGaS₂ chalcopyrite semiconductor epilayers and preferentially (0001)-oriented polycrystalline n-type ZnO thin films. The CuGaS₂ layers were grown on a (001) GaP substrate by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy and the ZnO films were deposited by the surface-damage-free helicon-wave-excited-plasma sputtering method. The n-ZnO/p-CuGaS₂ LED structure was designed to enable an electron injection from the n-type wider band gap material forming a TYPE-I heterojunction. The EL spectra exhibited emission peaks and bands between 1.6 and 2.5 eV, although their higher energy portions were absorbed by the GaP substrate. Since the spectral lineshape resembled that of the photoluminescence from identical CuGaS₂ epilayers, the EL was assigned to originate from p-CuGaS₂.

Formation Mechanisms of Electrical Conductivity and Optical Properties of ZnO:N Film Produced by Annealing Treatment

The effects of annealing on the chemical states of N dopant, electrical, and optical properties of N-doped ZnO film grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) are investigated. Both the as-grown ZnO:N film and the film annealed in N₂ are of n-type conductivity, whereas the conductivity converts into p-type conductivity for the film annealed in O₂. We suggest that the transformation of conductivity is ascribed to the change in ratio of the N molecular number on O site (N₂)_O to the N atom number on O site (N_O) in ZnO:N films under the various annealed atmosphere. For the ZnO:N film annealed in N₂, the percentage content of (N₂)_O is larger than that of N_O, i.e.the ratio >1, resulting in the n-type conductivity. However, in the case of the ZnO:N film annealed in O₂, the percentage content of (N₂)_O is fewer than that of N_O, i.e., the ratio <1, giving rise to the p-type conductivity. There is an obvious difference between low-temperature (80K) PL spectra of ZnO:N film annealed in N₂ and that of ZnO:N film annealed in O₂. An emission band located at 3.358eV is observed in the spectra of the ZnO:N film after annealed in N₂, this emission band is due to donor-bound exciton (D⁰X). After annealed in O₂, the PL of the donor-bound exciton disappeared, an emission band located at 3.348eV is observed, this emission band is assigned to acceptor-bound exciton (A⁰X).     

High-performance inverters based on ambipolar organic-inorganic heterojunction thin-film transistors

This work reports on the integration of organic and inorganic semiconductors as heterojunction active layers for highperformance ambipolar transistors and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor(CMOS)-like inverters. Pentacene is employed as a p-type organic semiconductor for its stable electrical performance, while the solution-processed scandium(Sc) substituted indium oxide(Sc In O) is employed as an n-type inorganic semiconductor. It is observed that by regulating the doping concentration of Sc, the electrical performance of the n-type semiconductor could be well controlled to obtain a balance with the electrical performance of the p-type semiconductor, which is vital for achieving high-performance inverters. When the doping concentration of Sc is 10 at.%, the CMOS-like logic inverters exhibit a voltage gain larger than 80 and a wide noise margin(53% of the theoretical value). The inverters also respond well to the input signal with frequency up to 500 Hz.
