The deposition of amorphous indium zinc oxide (IZO) thin films on glass substrates with n-type carrier concentrations between 1014 and 3 × 1020 cm−3 by sputtering from single targets near room temperature was investigated as a function of power and process pressure. The resistivity of the films with In/Zn of ∼0.7 could be controlled between 5 × 10−3 and 104 Ω cm by varying the power during deposition. The corresponding electron mobilities were 4-18 cm2 V−1 s−1.The surface root-mean-square roughness was <1 nm under all conditions for film thicknesses of 200 nm. Thin film transistors with 1 μm gate length were fabricated on these IZO layers, showing enhancement mode operation with good pitch-off characteristics, threshold voltage 2.5 V and a maximum transconductance of 6 mS/mm. These films look promising for transparent thin film transistor applications. 相似文献

Hydrogenated polycrystalline SixGe1−x films, with a varying silicon fraction x ≤ 0.246, were in situ deposited in an argon and hydrogen mixture at 500 °C using radio frequency sputtering with an aim to develop a material for the bottom cell of a low cost monolithic tandem solar cell. Silicon and germanium atomic compositions of the films were determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Structural evolution revealed by Raman and X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicated that the crystallinity of the films was improved with decreasing silicon fraction, accompanied with an increase of surface roughness verified by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Optical band gaps of these films derived from Tauc plots, which were calculated from reflectance/transmittance measurements, decreased with decreasing silicon fraction. Resistivity of the films, determined by four-point-probe technique, significantly decreased as well. High quality with low thermal budget obtained in this work suggests the films could be used in thin film solar cells on glass. 相似文献

The effect of ZnO under layers on crystal growth of TiN thin films was investigated. TiN single layers and double-layered ZnO/TiN thin films were deposited on soda-lime-silicate glass substrates by magnetron sputtering. XRD analysis indicated that TiN single layers exhibited {1 1 1} preferred orientation on glass substrates; on the other hand, the TiN thin films with {1 0 0} preferred orientation were obtained using ZnO under layers and crystallized better than the TiN single layers. This crystal orientation change of TiN thin films should come from heteroepitaxial-like growth because the TiN{1 0 0} and ZnO{0 0 1} crystal lattice planes have similar atomic arrangements. Besides, the possible mismatch between TiN and ZnO atomic arrangements was estimated to be 7.8%. Furthermore, the resistivity and optical absorbance of TiN thin films decreased when they were deposited on ZnO under layers. It can be considered that electrical and optical properties should be improved due to the well-crystallization of TiN thin films using ZnO under layers. 相似文献

Radio-frequency (RF)-sputtered Eu3+-doped NaTaO3 thin films were grown at different deposition temperatures. The X-ray diffraction patterns revealed that all thin films contained two mixed phases of NaTaO3 and Na2Ta8O21. The photoluminescence spectra of the thin films consisted of a strong orange emission (592 nm) and two weak red bands (616 nm and 689 nm), suggesting that more Eu3+ ions in the NaTaO3 host crystal were located at inversion symmetry sites. The maximum intensities of all emission peaks were achieved for the sample grown at 100 °C, in which the gravel-shaped crystallites evolved with a band gap energy of 4.61 eV, chromaticity coordinates of (0.554, 0.434), and average transmittance of 92.4%. These results indicate that the photoluminescence intensity, band gap energy, and color tunability can be achieved for RF-sputtered Eu3+-doped NaTaO3 thin films by varying the growth temperature. 相似文献

Vanadium oxide thin films were grown by RF magnetron sputtering from a V2O5 target at room temperature, an alternative route of production of vanadium oxide thin films for infrared detector applications. The films were deposited on glass substrates, in an argon–oxygen atmosphere with an oxygen partial pressure from nominal 0% to 20% of the total pressure.X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photon spectroscopy (XPS) analyses showed that the films were a mixture of several vanadium oxides (V2O5, VO2, V5O9 and V2O3), which resulted in different colors, from yellow to black, depending on composition. The electrical resistivity varied from 1 mΩ cm to more than 500 Ω cm and the thermal coefficient of resistance (TCR), varied from −0.02 to −2.51% K−1.Computational thermodynamics was used to simulate the phase diagram of the vanadium–oxygen system. Even if plasma processes are far from equilibrium, this diagram provides the range of oxygen pressures that lead to the growth of different vanadium oxide phases. These conditions were used in the present work. 相似文献

A metal-semiconductor-metal photoconductive detector was fabricated on c-axis preferred oriented Ga-doped ZnO (ZnO:Ga) thin film prepared on quartz by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering. With a 10 V bias, a responsivity of about 2.6 A/W at 370 nm was obtained in the ultraviolet region. The photocurrent increases linearly with incident power density for more than two orders of magnitude. The transient response measurement revealed photoresponse with a rise time of 10 ns and a fall time of 960 ns, respectively. The results are much faster than those reported in photoconductive detectors based on unintentionally doped n-type ZnO films. 相似文献

Highly oriented VO2(B), VO2(B) + V6O13 films were grown on indium tin oxide glass by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering. Single phase V6O13 films were obtained from VO2(B) +V6O13 films by annealing at 480℃ in vacuum. The vanadium oxide films were characterized by x-ray diffraction and x-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS). It was found that the formation of vanadium oxide films was affected by substrate temperature and annealing time, because high substrate temperature and annealing were favourable to further oxidation. Therefore, the formation of high valance vanadium oxide films was realized. The V6O13 crystalline sizes become smaller with the increase of annealing time. XPS analysis revealed that the energy position for all the samples was almost constant, but the broadening of the V2p3/2 line of the annealed sample was due to the smaller crystal size of V6O13. 相似文献

In this study we investigated properties of ZnO thin films deposited on both oxygen-containing substrates and a substrate without oxygen content at various O2/Ar reactant gas ratios. Deposition of ZnO on indium-tin oxide (ITO) resulted in the best crystallinity, whereas the least degree of crystallization was observed from ZnO deposited on glass. All the films were found to have compressive stress, which was relieved by annealing in O2 environment. ZnO films deposited on glass revealed p-type conductivity when prepared at O2/Ar ratio of 0.25 whereas those on SiNx yielded p-type conductivity when prepared at O2/Ar ratio of 4. In addition, shallower oxygen interstitial seemed to be found from films with better crystallinity. The largest shift in binding energy of Zn2p3/2 was observed from ZnO prepared on glass at O2/Ar ratio of 0.25, whereas that of O1s was obtained from ZnO deposited on SiNx at O2/Ar ratio of 4. A model was proposed in terms of O2 diffusion and hydrogen desorption in order to account for the observed property variations depending on substrates and O2/Ar ratios. 相似文献

Effects of sapphire substrates surface treatment on the ZnO thin films grown by magnetron sputtering
The surface treatment effects of sapphire substrate on the ZnO thin films grown by magnetron sputtering were studied. The sapphire substrates properties have been investigated by means of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray diffraction rocking curves (XRCs). The results show that sapphire substrate surfaces have the best quality by CMP with subsequent chemical etching. The surface treatment effects of sapphire substrate on the ZnO thin films were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and photoluminescence (PL) measurements. Results show that the intensity of (0 0 2) diffraction peak of ZnO thin films on sapphire substrates treated by CMP with subsequent chemical etching was strongest, FWHM of (0 0 2) diffraction peak is the narrowest and the intensity of UV peak of PL spectrum is strongest, indicating surface treatment on sapphire substrate preparation may improve ZnO thin films crystal quality and photoluminescent property. 相似文献

Cu-In-O composite thin films were deposited by reactive DC magnetron sputtering at room temperature. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV/vis spectrophotometer, four-probe measurement and Seebeck effect measurement, etc. The samples contain Cu, In and O. The ratios of Cu to In and O to In increase with increase in O2 flow rates. The ratio of Cu to In is over 1 and this suggests that Cu is in excess. The obtained Cu-In-O thin films are very possibly made of rhombohedral In2O3 and monoclinic CuO. Transmittance of the films decreases with increase in O2 flow rate. The decrease in transmittance results from increase in Cu content in the films. The optical band gap of all the samples is estimated to be 4.1-4.4 eV, which is larger than those of In2O3 and CuO. The sheet resistance of the films decreases with increase in O2 flow rate. Conductivity of the films is a little low, due to the addition of Cu and the poor crystalline quality of the film. The conduction behavior of the films is similar to that of In2O3 and the conduction mechanism of Cu-In-O thin films is through O vacancy. 相似文献

Electrodeposition technique was used in order to produce nanometric zinc oxide films on glass insulating substrates. The effect of electrolyte concentration and applied current density on the formation and growth of electrodeposited Zn thin films in aqueous solutions of ZnSO4 were studied. After a thermal oxidation, a characterization of the structural morphology of the films deposited was carried out by optical microscopy (OM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and by grazing incidence X-rays diffraction (GIXD). These characterization techniques show that the grains size of the films after oxidation at temperature 450 °C is between 5 and 15 nm, as well as the structure is polycrystalline nature with several orientations. UV/vis spectrophotometry confirms that it is possible to obtain transparent good ZnO films with an average transmittance of approximately 80% within the visible wavelength region, as well as the optical gap of obtained ZnO films is 3.17 eV. 相似文献

This paper reports that Eu-doped ZnO films were successfully deposited on silicon (100) by radio-frequency magnetic sputtering. The x-ray diffraction patterns indicate that Eu substitutes for Zn in the lattice. Ferromagnetic loops were obtained by using superconducting quantum interference device at 10 K and room temperature. No discontinuous change was found in both of the zero-field-cooled and field-cooled curves. The observed ferromagnetism in Eu-doped ZnO can be attributed to a single magnetic phase. The saturation magnetisation decreased remarkably for the Eu-doped ZnO prepared by introducing 5% of oxygen in the sputtering gas or by the post annealing in O2, suggesting that the defects play key roles in the development of ferromagnetism in Eu-doped ZnO films. 相似文献

Transparent and conductive thin films of fluorine doped zinc tin oxide (FZTO) were deposited on glass substrates by radio-frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering using a 30 wt% ZnO with 70 wt% SnO2 ceramic targets. The F-doping was carried out by introducing a mixed gas of pure Ar, CF4, and O2 forming gas into the sputtering chamber while sputtering ZTO target. The effect of annealing temperature on the structural, electrical and optical performances of FZTO thin films has been studied. FZTO thin film annealed at 600 °C shows the decrease in resistivity 5.47 × 10−3 Ω cm, carrier concentration ∼1019 cm−3, mobility ∼20 cm2 V−1 s−1 and an increase in optical band gap from 3.41 to 3.60 eV with increasing the annealing temperatures which is well explained by Burstein–Moss effect. The optical transmittance of FZTO films was higher than 80% in all specimens. Work function (ϕ) of the FZTO films increase from 3.80 eV to 4.10 eV through annealing and are largely dependent on the amounts of incorporated F. FZTO is a possible potential transparent conducting oxide (TCO) alternative for application in optoelectronics. 相似文献

Second harmonic generation (SHG) studies of fluorine-doped zinc oxide (ZnO:F) thin films deposited on soda-lime glass substrates from an aged solution in conjunction with zinc pentanedionate, using the chemical spray deposition technique were carried out. The and independent tensorial components of the quadratic nonlinear optical susceptibility of the ZnO:F thin films were evaluated. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction investigations revealed a homogeneous distribution of nanoparticles of similar size and morphology for various samples deposited at different substrate temperatures (ranging from 400 to 525 °C). The SHG-technique revealed a clear dependence of the nonlinear optical response with the deposition temperature. Typical optical transmittance and photoluminescence (PL) studies were also performed, from which a bandgap (Eg) of 3.3 eV was evaluated in films deposited under optimal conditions of conductivity and transmittance. 相似文献

ZnO:Al films were deposited on glass substrates at 300 K and 673 K by direct current magnetron sputtering with the oblique target. The Ar pressure was adjusted to 0.4 Pa and 1.2 Pa, respectively. All the films have a wurtzite structure and grow with a c-axis orientation in the film growth direction. The films grow mainly with columnar grains perpendicular to the substrate and some granular grains also exist in the films. The film deposited at 673 K and 0.4 Pa has the largest grains whereas that prepared at 300 K and 0.4 Pa consists of the smallest grains and is porous. The films exhibit an n-type semiconducting behavior at room temperature. The ZnO:Al film deposited at 673 K and 0.4 Pa has the lowest resistivity (3.40 × 10−3 Ω cm), the highest free electron concentration (4.63 × 1020 cm−3) and a moderate Hall mobility (4.0 cm2 V−1 s−1). The film deposited at 300 K and 0.4 Pa has the highest resistivity and the lowest free electron concentration and Hall mobility. A temperature dependence of the resistivity reveals that the carrier transport mechanism is Mott’s variable range hopping in the temperature region below 100 K and thermally activated band conduction above 215 K. The activation energy for the film deposited at 300 K and 0.4 Pa is 41 meV and that for the other films is about 35 meV. All the films have an average optical transmittance of over 85% in the visible wavelength range. The absorption edge of the film deposited at 300 K and 0.4 Pa shifts to the longer wavelength (redshift) relative to the films prepared under the other conditions. 相似文献

Growth of Ni-Mn-Ga high-temperature shape memory alloy thin films by magnetron sputtering technique 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Ni-Mn-Ga thin films have been fabricated by using magnetron sputtering technique under various substrate negative bias voltages. The effect of substrate negative bias voltage on the compositions and surface morphology of Ni-Mn-Ga thin films was systematically investigated by energy dispersive X-ray spectrum and atomic force microscopy, respectively. The results show that the Ni contents of the thin films increase with the increase of the substrate negative bias voltages, whereas the Mn contents and Ga contents decrease with the increase of substrate negative bias voltages. It was also found that the surface roughness and average particle size of the thin films remarkably decrease with the increase of substrate negative bias voltages. Based on the influence of bias voltages on film compositions, a Ni56Mn27Ga17 thin film was obtained at the substrate negative bias voltage of 30 V. Further investigations indicate that the martensitic transformation start temperature of this film is up to 584 K, much higher than room temperature, and the film has a non-modulated tetragonal martensitic structure at room temperature. Transmission electron microscopy observations reveal that microstructure of the thin film exhibits an internally (1 1 1) type twinned substructure. The fabrication of Ni56Mn27Ga17 high-temperature shape memory alloy thin film will contribute to the successful development of microactuators. 相似文献

Hexagonal SiC thin films have been deposited using radio frequency reactive magnetron sputtering technique by varying the substrate temperature and other deposition conditions. Prior to deposition surface modification of the substrate Si(1 0 0) played an important role in deposition of the hexagonal SiC structure. The effect of substrate temperature during deposition on structure, composition and surface morphology of the SiC films has been analyzed using atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and spectroscopic ellipsometry. X-ray diffraction in conventional θ-2θ mode and omega scan mode revealed that the deposited films were crystalline having 8H-SiC structure and crystallinity improved with increase of deposition temperature. The bonding order and Si-C composition within the films showed improvement with the increase of deposition temperature. The surface of thin films grew in the shape of globes and columns depending upon deposition temperature. The optical properties also showed improvement with increase of deposition temperature and the results obtained by ellipsometry reinforced the results of other techniques. 相似文献

Soft magnetism and magnetic anisotropy properties of CoZrNb thin films deposited on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate by magnetron sputtering were investigated. As the film thickness increases, the coercivity of films decreases from 7 to 4 Oe. It exhibits an in-plane uniaxial magnetic anisotropy as the thickness of CoZrNb thin films increases. An easy axis is observed in CoZrNb films along the direction transverse to the rolling direction of the polymer web. 相似文献

Al-doped ZnO (AZO) transparent conducting films were successfully prepared on glass substrates by RF magnetron sputtering method under different substrate temperatures. The microstructural, electrical and optical properties of AZO films were investigated in a wide temperature range from room temperature up to 350 °C by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), Hall measurement, and UV–visible meter. The nature of AZO films is polycrystalline thin films with hexagonal wurtzite structure and a preferred orientation along c-axis. The crystallinity and surface morphologies of the films are strongly dependent on the growth temperature, which in turn exerts a great effect on microstructural, electrical and optical properties of the AZO films. The atomic arrangement of AZO film having an wurtzite structure was indeed identified by the HRTEM as well as the Selected Area Electron Diffraction (SAED). The defect density of AZO film was investigated by HRTEM. The film deposited at 100 °C exhibited the relatively well crystallinity and the lowest resistivity of 3.6 × 10−4 Ω cm. The average transmission of AZO films in the visible range is all over 85%. More importantly, the low-resistance and high-transmittance AZO film was also prepared at a low temperature of 100 °C. 相似文献
