ZnO and indium-doped ZnO (IxZO) thin films were prepared on silica-glass substrates by the sol-gel method. The thin films were crystallized at 600 °C and 700 °C for 1 h in 6.9 × 10−1 Torr under pure O2 atmosphere. The analyzed results were compared to investigate the structural characteristics and optical properties. The surface morphology of the IxZO films was different from that of the ZnO films, and showed a thin overlay structure. In addition, the crystallization of IxZO film was depleted at higher crystallized temperatures. From XRD analysis, the ZnO and IxZO thin films possessed hexagonal structures. Notably, micro-In2O3 phases were observed in the IxZO thin films using EDS. Both of In2O3 phases and the crystallization mechanism not only improved the peeling of structure, but also improved the electrical conductivity of IxZO thin films. For the PL spectrum, the optical property of the IxZO film was raised at a higher crystallization temperature. Although the In2O3 phases reduced the structural defects of IxZO thin film, the optical effect of the residual In3+ was not enhanced completely at higher crystallized temperatures. 相似文献

XPS depth profiles were used to investigate the effects of rapid thermal annealing under varying conditions on the structural, magnetic and optical properties of Ni-doped ZnO thin films. Oxidization of metallic Ni from its metallic state to two-valence oxidation state occurred in the film annealed in air at 600 °C, while reduction of Ni2+ from its two-valence oxidation state to metallic state occurred in the film annealed in Ar at 600 and 800 °C. In addition, there appeared to be significant diffusion of Ni from the bottom to the top surface of the film during annealing in Ar at 800 °C. Both as-deposited and annealed thin films displayed obvious room temperature ferromagnetism (RTFM) which was from metallic Ni, Ni2+ or both with two distinct mechanisms. Furthermore, a significant improvement in saturation magnetization (Ms) in the films was observed after annealing in air (Ms = 0.036 μB/Ni) or Ar (Ms = 0.033 μB/Ni) at 600 °C compared to that in as-deposited film (Ms = 0.017 μB/Ni). An even higher Ms value was observed in the film annealed in Ar at 800 °C (Ms = 0.055 μB/Ni) compared to that at 600 °C mainly due to the diffusion of Ni. The ultraviolet emission of the Ni-doped ZnO thin film was restored during annealing in Ar at 800 °C, which was also attributed to the diffusion of Ni. 相似文献

Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films oriented along the (0 0 2) plane have been prepared by the sol-gel process and their electrical and optical properties with post-deposition heating temperature were investigated. The preferred c-axis orientation along the (0 0 2) plane was enhanced with increasing post-deposition heating temperature and the surface of the films showed a uniform and nano-sized microstructure. The electrical resistivity of the films decreased from 73 to 22 Ω cm as the post-deposition heating temperature increased from 500 to 650 °C; however, the film postheated at 700 °C increased greatly to 580 Ω cm. The optical transmittance of the films postheated below 650 °C was over 86%, but it decreased at 700 °C. The electrical and optical properties of the AZO films with post-deposition heating temperature are discussed. 相似文献

In this work, ZnO thin films were prepared by sol-gel method on glass substrates followed by calcinations at 500 °C for an hour. The effect of glucose on the structure and optical properties of the films was studied. The structural characteristics of the samples were analyzed by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and atomic force microscope (AFM). The optical properties were studied by a UV-visible spectrophotometer. The results show that some of the prepared ZnO thin films have a high preferential oriented c-axis orientation with compact hexagonal wurtzite structure due to a proper amount of glucose introducing. After introducing the glucose additive in ZnO colloids, the intensity of (002) peak, the transmittance, and the optical band gap of the ZnO thin films increases because of the enhanced ZnO crystallization. On the contrary, the absorbance, the film thickness, and the surface root-mean-square (RMS) roughness of the ZnO thin films decreases. The glucose additive could not only improve the surface RMS roughness and microstructure of ZnO thin films, but also enhance the transmittance and the energy band gap more easily. 相似文献

The transparent nanocrystalline thin films of undoped zinc oxide and Mn-doped (Zn1−xMnxO) have been deposited on glass substrates via the sol–gel technique using zinc acetate dehydrate and manganese chloride as precursor. The as-deposited films with the different manganese compositions in the range of 2.5–20 at% were pre-heated at 100 °C for 1 h and 200 °C for 2 h, respectively, and then crystallized in air at 560 °C for 2 h. The structural properties and morphologies of the undoped and doped ZnO thin films have been investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to examine the morphology and microstructure of the thin films. Optical properties of the thin films were determined by photoluminescence (PL) and UV/Vis spectroscopy. The analyzed results indicates that the obtained films are of good crystal quality and have smooth surfaces, which have a pure hexagonal wurtzite ZnO structure without any Mn related phases. Room temperature photoluminescence is observed for the ZnO and Mn-doped ZnO thin films. 相似文献

Microstructure and optical properties of nanocrystalline ZnO and ZnO:(Li or Al) thin films 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Zinc oxide thin films (ZnO, ZnO:Li, ZnO:Al) were deposited on glass substrates by a sol-gel technique. Zinc acetate, lithium acetate, and aluminum chloride were used as metal ion sources in the precursor solutions. XRD analysis revealed that Li doped and undoped ZnO films formed single phase zincite structure in contrast to Al:ZnO films which did not fully crystallize at the annealing temperature of 550 °C. Crystallized films had a grain size under 50 nm and showed c-axis grain orientation. All films had a very smooth surface with RMS surface roughness values between 0.23 and 0.35 nm. Surface roughness and optical band tail values increased by Al doping. Compared to undoped ZnO films, Li doping slightly increased the optical band gap of the films. 相似文献

The effect of annealing atmosphere, temperature and aging on the photoluminescence of pure and Li-doped ZnO thin films has been investigated. Annealing the pure ZnO in N2 and He above 800 °C results in green emission centered at ca. 500 nm; however annealing in air red-shifts the green emission to 527 nm. The visible emission of the Li-doped ZnO is found to be largely dependent on the annealing atmosphere. Warm-white photoluminescence with a broad emission band covering nearly the whole visible spectrum is obtained for the Li-doped ZnO films annealed in helium. The substitutional and interstitial extrinsic point defects created by lithium doping may mediate the relative concentration of the intrinsic defects and thereby tune the intrinsic-defect-related visible emission. The enhanced intensity ratio of near-band-edge ultraviolet emission to deep-level visible emission with aging time may be ascribed to both in-diffusion of oxygen from air and self-diffusion of oxygen interstitials to heal the oxygen vacancies during the aging process. 相似文献

采用溶胶-凝胶旋涂法在Si(111)衬底上生长了ZnO薄膜,并用荧光光谱、原子力显微镜和XRD对ZnO薄膜样品进行了分析.结果表明,溶胶-凝胶旋涂法制备的ZnO薄膜为纤锌矿结构,其c轴取向程度与热处理温度有很大的关系.当热处理温度小于550℃时,氧化锌薄膜在室温下均有较强的紫外带边发射峰,而可见波段的发射很弱;当热处理温度高于550℃时,可见波段发射明显增强.对经过不同时间热处理的ZnO薄膜样品分析表明,氧化锌薄膜的荧光特性及表面形貌与热处理时间也有很大关系,时间过短可见波段的发射较强,但时间过长会导致晶

ZnO thin films are deposited on the glass substrates by sol-gel drain coating technique by varying the concentration of the sol. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis were used to investigate the effect of sol concentration on the crystallinity and surface morphology of the films. The results show that with increase in sol concentration, the value of full width at half maximum (FWHM) of (0 0 2) peak decreases while the strain first increases and then decreases. The sol with higher concentration results in the increase in the grain size. The studies on the optical properties show that the band gap value increases from 3.27 to 3.3 eV when the sol concentration changes from 0.03 to 0.1 M. The photoconductivity studies reveal that the film for 0.05 M sol shows the maximum photoresponse for ultraviolet (UV) wavelength (<400 nm) which is co-related with the deep-level defects. The growth and decay of the photocurrent is found to be slowest for the same film. 相似文献

The development of cost-effective and low-temperature synthesis techniques for the growth of high-quality zinc oxide thin films is paramount for fabrication of ZnO-based optoelectronic devices, especially ultraviolet (UV)-light-emitting diodes, lasers and detectors. We demonstrate that the properties, especially UV emission, observed at room temperature, of electrodeposited ZnO thin films from chloride medium (at 70 °C) on fluor-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrates is strongly influenced by the post-growth thermal annealing treatments. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements show that the films have preferably grown along (0 0 2) direction. Thermal annealing in the temperature range of 150-400 °C in air has been carried out for these ZnO thin films. The as-grown films contain chlorine which is partially removed after annealing at 400 °C. Morphological changes upon annealing are discussed in the light of compositional changes observed in the ZnO crystals that constitute the film. The optical quality of ZnO thin films was improved after post-deposition thermal treatment at 150 °C and 400 °C in our experiments due to the reducing of defects levels and of chlorine content. The transmission and absorption spectra become steeper and the optical bandgap red shifted to the single-crystal value. These findings demonstrate that electrodeposition have potential for the growth of high-quality ZnO thin films with reduced defects for device applications. 相似文献

Zinc oxide thin films are deposited on Si and quartz substrates using the sol-gel method. The thin films, annealed at 400, 600 and 800 °C respectively, are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer (UV-Vis), fluorescence spectrometer (FL) and the photocatalytic activity is tested by the decomposition of methyl orange dye under UV illumination. The results show that the mean grain size, surface-to-volume ratio, rms roughness and degradation efficiency of the thin films increases with increasing annealing temperature. In particular, ZnO thin film annealed at 800 °C exhibits the highest photocatalytic activity, degrading methyl orange by almost 88% in 180 min. Photocatalytic reaction mechanism of the ZnO thin films is discussed in detail, and the oxygen defects are proposed to be the active sites of the ZnO photocatalyst. 相似文献

P doped ZnO films were grown on quartz by radio frequency-magnetron sputtering method using a ZnO target mixed with 1.5 at% P2O5 in the atmosphere of Ar and O2 mixing gas. The as-grown P doped ZnO film showed n-type conductivity, which was converted to p-type after 800 °C annealing in Ar gas. The P doped ZnO has a resistivity of 20.5 Ω cm (p∼2.0×1017 cm−3) and a Hall mobility of 2.1 cm2 V−1 s−1. XRD measurement indicated that both the as-grown and the annealed P doped ZnO films had a preferred (0 0 2) orientation. XPS study agreed with the model that the PZn-2VZn acceptor complex was responsible for the p-type conductivity as found in the annealed P-doped ZnO. Temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) spectrum showed that the dominant band is located at 3.312 eV, which was attributed to the free electronic radiative transition to neutral acceptor level (FA) in ZnO. The PZn-2VZn acceptor complex level was estimated to be at EV=122 meV. 相似文献

Transparent conductive Co-doped ZnO thin films were deposited by ultrasonic spray technique. Conditions of preparation have been optimized to get good quality. A set of cobalt (Co)-doped ZnO (between 0 and 3 wt%) thin films were grown on glass substrate at 350 °C. The thin films were annealed at 500 °C for improvement of the physical properties. Nanocrystalline films with hexagonal wurtzite structure and a strong (0 0 2) preferred orientation were obtained. The maximum value of grain size G = 63.99 nm is attained with undoped ZnO film. The optical transmissions spectra showed that both the undoped and doped ZnO films have transparency within the visible wavelength region. The band gap energy decreased after doping from 3.367 to 3.319 eV when Co concentration increased from 0 to 2 wt% with slight increase of electrical conductivity of the films from 7.71 to 8.33 (Ω cm)−1. The best estimated structure, optical and electrical results are achieved in Co-doped ZnO film with 2 wt%. 相似文献

ZnO thin films were prepared on soda-lime glass from a single spin-coating deposition of a sol-gel prepared with anhydrous zinc acetate [Zn(C2H3O2)2], monoethanolamine [H2NC2H4OH] and isopropanol. The deposited films were dried at 50 and 300 °C. X-ray analysis showed that the films were amorphous. Laser annealing was performed using an excimer laser. The laser pulse repetition rate was 25 Hz with a pulse energy of 5.9 mJ, giving a fluence of 225 mJ cm−2 on the ZnO film. Typically, five laser pulses per unit area of the film were used. After laser processing, the hexagonal wurtzite phase of zinc oxide was observed from X-ray diffraction pattern analysis. The thin films had a transparency of greater than 70% in the visible region. The optical band-gap energy was 3.454 eV. Scanning electron microscopy and profilometry analysis highlighted the change in morphology that occurred as a result of laser processing. This comparative study shows that our sol-gel processing route differs significantly from ZnO sol-gel films prepared by conventional furnace annealing which requires temperatures above 450 °C for the formation of crystalline ZnO. 相似文献

Undoped and Mg-doped ZnO thin films were deposited on Si(1 0 0) and quartz substrates by the sol-gel method. The thin films were annealed at 873 K for 60 min. Microstructure, surface topography and optical properties of the thin films have been measured by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscope (AFM), UV-vis spectrophotometer, and fluorophotometer (FL), respectively. The XRD results show that the polycrystalline with hexagonal wurtzite structure are observed for the ZnO thin film with Mg:Zn = 0.0, 0.02, and 0.04, while a secondary phase of MgO is evolved for the thin film with Mg:Zn = 0.08. The ZnO:Mg-2% thin film exhibits high c-axis preferred orientation. AFM studies reveal that rms roughness of the thin films changes from 7.89 nm to 16.9 nm with increasing Mg concentrations. PL spectra show that the UV-violet emission band around 386-402 nm and the blue emission peak about 460 nm are observed. The optical band gap calculated from absorption spectra and the resistivity of the ZnO thin films increase with increasing Mg concentration. In addition, the effects of Mg concentrations on microstructure, surface topography, PL spectra and electrical properties are discussed. 相似文献

Highly transparent and conducting Chromium doped ZnO (Cr:ZnO) thin films with preferential c-axis orientation were grown on (0 0 0 1) sapphire substrates using buffer assisted pulsed laser deposition. The resistivity of Cr:ZnO thin films was found to decrease to a minimum value of ∼1.13×10−3Ω cm with the increasing Cr concentration up to ∼1.9 at.% and then increase with further increase of Cr concentration. On the contrary, the band gap and carrier concentration of Cr:ZnO thin films increased up to ∼3.37 eV and ∼2×1020 cm−3, respectively, with the increase of Cr concentration up to ∼1.9 at.%, then decreased with further increase of Cr concentration. The increase of carrier concentration and conductivity with Cr doping at low Cr concentrations (<1.9 at.%) could be attributed to the presence of Cr in +3 valence state in ZnO thus acting as donor while decrease of carrier concentration beyond ∼1.9 at.% of Cr concentration could be attributed to the charge compensating effect due to the presence of acceptor like point defects such as oxygen interstitials. This was experimentally confirmed using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The observed variation in the band gap of Cr:ZnO thin films with increasing Cr doping was attributed to the competing effects of the high free carrier concentration induced Burstein-Moss blue shift and band gap narrowing. 相似文献

Effect of cobalt doping and annealing on properties of titania thin films prepared by sol-gel process 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Undoped and cobalt doped titania (TiO2) thin films have been prepared on Si(1 0 0) monocrystal and quartz substrate using the sol-gel deposition method and annealed in air at 450, 550, 650, 750, 850, 950 and 1050 °C. Several experimental techniques (AFM, XRD, Raman spectroscopy, XRR, EDX, XPS, XAS, UV-VIS spectroscopy) have been used to characterize these films. Further more the degree of light induced hydrophilicity was estimated by measuring the contact angle of a water droplet on the film. Increase of the annealing temperature and in smaller degree also cobalt doping predispose titania crystallite growth. The rutile phase was detected at lower temperatures in the cobalt doped films than in the undoped titania films. Cobalt in the cobalt doped TiO2 was seen to be in Co2+ oxidation state, mainly in CoTiO3 phase when films were annealed at temperatures higher than 650 °C. Cobalt compounds segregated into the sub-surface region and to the surface of the titania, where they formed islands. Cobalt doping red-shifted the fundamental absorption edge further into the visible range, however it did not enhance the light induced hydrophilicity of the thin film surface as compared to the undoped titania thin films. 相似文献

Cobalt doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Co) thin films were deposited on glass substrates by ultrasonic spray technique decomposition of Zinc acetate dihydrate and cobalt acetate tetrahydrate in an ethanol solution with film thickness. All films are polycrystalline with a hexagonal wurtzite-type structure with a preferential orientation according to the direction (0 0 2), with the maximum crystallite size was found of 59.42 nm at 569 nm. The average transmittance of all films is about 65–95% measured by UV–vis analyzer. The band gap energy increased from 3.08 to 3.32 eV with increasing the film thickness from 192 to 569 nm. The increase of the electrical conductivity with increases in the film thickness to maximum value of 9.27 (Ω cm)−1 can be explained by the increase in carrier concentration and displacement of the electrons of the films. The correlation between the band gap and crystal structure suggests that the band gap energy of Co doped ZnO is influenced by the crystallite size and the mean strain. 相似文献
