Synthesis of ZnO films in different solvents and their photocatalytic activities

ZnO thin films have been successfully synthesized via the chemical bath deposition (CBD) method without using any catalysts or templates. The effects of solvents (such as water, ethanol and n‐propanol) on structure and morphology of ZnO thin films have been studied. XRD analysis showed that all ZnO thin films with wurtzite crystal structure were obtained via various solvents. SEM images showed that ZnO thin films prepared in different solvents have different sizes and morphologies. TEM images showed that crystalline ZnO samples prepared in different solvents have different growth habits. Photoluminescence and photocatalysis properties have been investigated at room temperature. ZnO thin films prepared in water showed superior photocatalytic activity in the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) compared to other samples.     

Zinc oxide – analogue of GaN with new perspective possibilities

Zinc oxide due to specific electrical, optical and acoustic properties is the important semiconductor material, which has many various applications. There is growing interest in ZnO due to its potential applicability for optoelectronic devices such as light‐emitting diodes, laser diodes and detectors for UV wavelength range. ZnO properties are very close to those of widely recognized semiconductor GaN. The band gap of ZnO (3.37 eV) is close to that of GaN (3.39 eV) but ZnO exciton binding energy (60 meV) is twice larger than that of GaN (28 meV). Optically pumped UV lasing have been demonstrated at room temperature using high textured ZnO films. The excitonic gain close to 300 cm^–1 was achieved. ZnO thin films are expected to have higher quantum efficiency in UV semiconductor laser than GaN. The physical properties of ZnO are considered. PEMOCVD technology was used to deposit piezoelectric and highly transparent electroconductive ZnO films. Their properties are discussed. The experiments on polycrystalline ZnO films deposited by RF magnetron sputtering at different partial pressure of oxygen are presented. AFM images were studied in tapping mode for deposited films. The investigated films were dielectric ones and had optical transparency within 65‐85% at thickness in the interval 0.2‐0.6 μm. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Characteristics of sputtered zinc-oxide films prepared by UBM sputtering for thin film transistors

In this work, we describe the characteristics of zinc-oxide (ZnO) thin films synthesized on Si (001) and Corning (7059) glass substrates by unbalanced magnetron (UBM) sputtering under various ZnO film thicknesses and RF powers. We investigated the characteristics of ZnO films' structural, optical, and electrical properties with various film thicknesses and RF powers for the active channel in a thin film transistor (TFT). We used the UBM sputtering system for high rate deposition of ZnO films. The ZnO film surface was rough and the grain size of the film increased with increasing RF power and film thickness. The electrical properties improved with the increase of RF power and film thickness. These results can be explained by the improvement of the crystallinity in the ZnO film related to the grain size increase with increasing RF power and ZnO film thickness.
