Effect of thickness and heat treatment on the crystallite size and dislocation density of nanostructured zinc oxide thin films

The zinc oxide thin films were deposited by the sol–gel method on the glass microscope slide substrates. The microstructure of films was determined as a function of film thickness as well as annealing temperature using X-ray line broadening technique and applying whole powder pattern modeling (WPPM). This investigation showed that the film thickness has no significant effect on the grain size, whereas the dislocation density decreases with the film thickness. On the other hand with the rise of annealing temperature the dislocation density decreases, but the crystallite size becomes larger.     

Structural and optical properties of Mg‐doped ZnO thin films prepared by a modified Pechini method

ZnO thin films with different Mg doping contents (0%, 3%, 5%, 8%, 10%, respectively) were prepared on quartz glass substrates by a modified Pechini method. XRD patterns reveal that all the thin films possess a polycrystalline hexagonal wurtzite structure. The peak position of (002) plane for Mg‐doped ZnO thin films shifts toward higher angle due to the Mg doping. The crystallite size calculated by Debey‐Scherrer formula is in the range of 32.95–48.92 nm. The SEM images show that Mg‐doped ZnO thin films are composed of dense nanoparticles, and the thickness of Mg‐doped ZnO thin films with Mg doped at 8% is around 140 nm. The transmittance spectra indicate that Mg doping can increase the optical bandgap of ZnO thin films. The band gap is tailored from 3.36 eV to 3.66 eV by changing Mg doping concentration between 3% and 10%. The photoluminescence spectra show that the ultraviolet emission peak of Mg‐doped ZnO thin films shifts toward lower wavelength as Mg doping content increases from 3% to 8%. The green emission peak of Mg‐doped ZnO thin films with Mg doping contents were 3%, 8%, and 10% is attributed to the oxygen vacancies or donor‐acceptor pair. These results prove that Mg‐doped ZnO thin films based on a modified Pechini method have the potential applications in the optoelectronic devices.     

Optical and structural characterisation of zinc oxide thin films prepared by sol‐gel process

Zinc oxide thin films have been prepared on different substrates by the sol‐gel method using 2‐methoxyethanol solution of zinc acetate dihydrate stabilized by monoethanolamine. The photoluminescence spectra of the films show the band‐edge and sub‐band transitions. The intensity of the band edge emission peak increases, while the intensity of the deep level emission peak decreases in the films coated on sapphire substrate. Transmittance spectra show that the films are transparent beyond 400 nm. The structural property of the films has been evaluated using X‐ray diffraction. The X‐ray peak intensity of the film (002) grown on sapphire substrate is higher than the films grown on glass and quartz substrates. The AFM images show improvement in the surface of the annealed films as compared to the as‐grown ZnO films coated on sapphire substrates. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Optical and electrical properties of lithium doped nickel oxide films deposited by spray pyrolysis onto alumina substrates

Non-doped and lithium doped nickel oxide crystalline films have been prepared onto quartz and crystalline alumina substrates at high substrate temperature (600 °C) by the pneumatic spray pyrolysis process using nickel and lithium acetates as source materials. The structure of all the deposited films was the crystalline cubic phase related to NiO, although this crystalline structure was a little bit stressed for the films with higher lithium concentration. The grain size had values between 60 and 70 nm, almost independently of doping concentration. The non-doped and lithium doped films have an energy band gap of the order of 3.6 eV. Hot point probe results show that all deposited films have a p-type semiconductor behavior. From current–voltage measurements it was observed that the electrical resistivity decreases as the lithium concentration increases, indicating that the doping action of lithium is carried out. The electrical resistivity changed from 10⁶ Ω cm for the non-doped films up to 10² Ω cm for the films prepared with the highest doping concentration.     

Correlation between growth orientation and growth temperature for bismuth tri‐iodide films

This paper reports the growth of bismuth tri‐iodide thick films intended for direct and digital X‐ray imaging. Films were grown by the vertical physical vapor deposition method, onto glass substrates 2″x 2″ in size, with gold previously deposited as rear electrode. The film thickness was up to 33 μm (±5 %). Optical microscopy and SEM were performed on the films and grain size resulted to be up to 40 μm. A strong correlation was found between the microcrystals growth orientation and the growth temperature. At low temperatures, microcrystals grow with their c axis parallel to the substrate, whereas at higher temperatures, they grow with their c axis perpendicular to the substrate. The higher the growth temperature, the lower the dark current of the film, and the higher the resistivity, which was from 10¹³ to 10¹⁵ Ωcm. A sensitivity to X‐rays of 6.9 nC/R.cm² was measured irradiating the films with X‐rays from a mamographer. Film properties were correlated with the growth temperature, with previous results for bismuth tri‐iodide films and monocrystals and with data for films of alternative materials such as lead and mercuric iodide.

Influence of substrate temperature on the properties of vacuum evaporated InSb films

Indium Antimonide (InSb) thin films were grown onto well cleaned glass substrates at different substrate temperatures (303, 373 and 473 K) by vacuum evaporation. The elemental composition of the deposited InSb film was found to be 52.9% (In) and 47.1% (Sb). X‐ray diffraction studies confirm the polycrystallinity of the films and the films show preferential orientation along the (111) plane. The particle size (D), dislocation density (δ) and strain (ε) were evaluated. The particle size increases with the increase of substrate temperature, which was found to be in the range from 22.36 to 32.59 nm. In Laser Raman study, the presence of longitudinal mode (LO) confirms that the deposited films were having the crystalline nature. Raman peak located at 191.26 cm^–1 shift towards the lower frequencies and narrows with increase in deposition temperature. This indicates that the crystallinity is improved in the films deposited at higher substrate temperatures. Hall measurements indicate that the films were p‐type, having carrier concentration ≅10¹⁶ cm^–3 and mobility (4–7.7) ×10³ cm²/Vs. It is observed that the carrier concentration (N) decreases and the Hall mobility (μ) increases with the increase of substrate temperature. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
