ZnO films were deposited on c-plane sapphire substrates by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Annealing treatments for as-deposited samples were performed in different atmosphere under various pressures in the same chamber just after growth. The effect of annealing atmosphere on the electrical, structural, and optical properties of the deposited films has been investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscope (AFM), Hall effect, and optical absorption measurements. The results indicated that the electrical and structural properties of the films were highly influenced by annealing atmosphere, which was more pronounced for the films annealed in oxygen ambient. The most significant improvements for structural and electrical properties were obtained for the film annealed in oxygen under the pressure of 60 Pa. Under the optimum annealing condition, the lowest resistivity of 0.28 Ω cm and the highest mobility of 19.6 cm2 v−1 s−1 were obtained. Meanwhile, the absorbance spectra turned steeper and the optical band gap red shifted back to the single-crystal value.  相似文献

The growth of ZnO film on Si(1 0 0) substrate has been studied with synchrotron radiation (SR) assisted MOCVD method. The diethylzinc (DEZn) and CO2 are used as source materials, while Nitrogen is employed as a carrier gas for DEZn. With the assistance of SR the ZnO film can be deposited even at room temperature. XRD, SEM and photoluminescence (PL) studies show that the crystal quality of ZnO films grown with the assistance of SR is higher than that of those without SR assistance. The growth mechanism of ZnO film with the SR assistant MOCVD system is primarily discussed.  相似文献

Epitaxial ZnO thin films have been synthesized directly on Si(1 1 1) substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) in vacuum. The reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) indicates that streaky patterns can be clearly observed from the ZnO epilayers prepared at 600 and 650 °C, revealing a two-dimensional (2D) growth mode. While the ZnO thin film deposited in oxygen ambient shows ring RHEED pattern. There is a compressive in-plane stress existing in the ZnO epitaxial film, but a tensile one in the polycrystalline film. Compared with the ZnO epilayer, the ZnO polycrystalline film shows more intense ultraviolet emission (UVE) with a small full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 89 meV. It is suggested that the atomically flat epilayers may be powerfully used as transitive stratums to grow high-quality ZnO films suitable for the fabrication of optoelectronic devices.  相似文献

Heterojunction light-emitting diodes with ZnO/Si structure were fabricated on both high-resistivity (p) and low-resistivity (p+) Si substrates by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition technology. Fairly good rectifications were observed from the current-voltage curves of both heterojunctions. Ultraviolet (UV) and blue-white electroluminescence (EL) from ZnO layer were observed only from ZnO/p+-Si heterojunction under forward bias at room temperature (RT), while strong infrared (IR) EL emissions from Si substrates were detected from both ZnO/p-Si and ZnO/p+-Si heterojunctions. The UV and IR EL mechanisms have been explained by energy band structures. The realization of RT EL in UV-visible and IR region on Si substrate has great applicable potential for Si-based optoelectronic integrated circuits.  相似文献

ZnO nanowall networks grown by a high pressure pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique on a pre‐patterned thin gold film are presented. The thin gold film on a c ‐plane oriented sapphire substrate was structured with diffraction mask projection laser ablation (DiMPLA). It is shown that only areas processed with the laser patterning technique reveal homogeneous growth of ZnO nanowall networks. Photoluminescence measurements prove the higher material quality of the pre‐patterned regions compared to the untreated ones. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)  相似文献

ZnO:In films are successfully prepared by using the electrostatic spray deposition technique. X-ray diffraction indicates that the ZnO:In films have a polycrystalline hexagonal wurtzite structure with lattice parameters a=3.267 Å and c=5.209 Å. Photoluminescence properties of the films are investigated in the temperature range of 11.6-300 K, showing strong luminescence in the whole range of temperature. The temperature dependence of the photoluminescence are carried out with full profile fitting of spectra, which clearly shows that the ultraviolet (UV) emission in In-doped ZnO films at low temperature are attributed to emission of a neutral donor-bound exciton (D°X) and recombination of donor-acceptor pairs (DAP), while the UV emission at room temperature originates from radiative transition of an electron bound on a donor to the valence band.  相似文献

ZnO active layers on ZnO buffer layers were grown at various O2/O2 + Ar flow-rate ratios by using radio-frequency magnetron sputtering. Atomic force microscopy images showed that the surface roughnesses of the ZnO active layers grown on ZnO buffer layers decreased with decreasing O2 atmosphere, indicative of an improvement in the ZnO surfaces. The type of the ZnO active layer was n-type, and the resistivity of the layer increased with increasing O2 atmosphere. Photoluminescence spectra from the ZnO active layers grown on the ZnO buffer layers showed dominant peaks corresponding to local levels in the ZnO energy gap resulting from oxygen vacancies or interstitial zinc vacancies, and the peak positions changed significantly with the O2/O2 + Ar flow rate. These results can help improve understanding of the dependences of the surface and the optical properties on the O2/O2 + Ar ratio for ZnO thin films grown on ZnO buffer layers.  相似文献

Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films were grown on Si (1 0 0) substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) using two-step epitaxial growth method. Low temperature buffer layer (LTBL) was initially deposited in order to obtain high quality ZnO thin film; the as-deposited films were then annealed in air at 700 °C. The effects of LTBL and annealing treatment on the structural and luminescent properties of ZnO thin film were investigated. It was found that tensile strain was remarkably relaxed by employing LTBL and the band-gap redshifted, correspondingly. The shift value was larger than that calculated from band-gap theories. After annealing treatment, it was found that the annealing temperature with 700 °C has little influence on strains of ZnO films with LTBLs other than directly deposited film in our experiments. Interestingly, the different behaviors in terms of the shift of ultraviolet (UV) emission after annealing between films with and without buffer were observed, and a tentative explanation was given in this paper.  相似文献

ZnO nanorods and nanotubes are successful synthesized on A1N/sapphire substrates by metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (MOGVD). The different morphology and structure properties of ZnO nanorods and nanotubes are found to be affected by the A1N under-layer. The photoluminescence spectra show the optical properties of the ZnO nanorods and nanotubes, in which a blueshift of UV emission is observed and is attributed to the surface effect.[第一段]  相似文献

Photoluminescence (PL) spectra of nitrogen-doped ZnO films (ZnO:N films) grown epitaxially on n-type ZnO single crystal substrates by using the plasma-assisted reactive evaporation method were measured at 5 K. In PL spectra, free exciton emission at about 3.375 eV was very strong and emissions at 3.334 and 3.31 eV were observed. These two emissions are discussed in this paper. The nitrogen concentration in ZnO:N films measured by secondary ion mass spectroscopy was 1019-20 cm−3. Current-voltage characteristics of the junction consisting of an n-type ZnO single crystal substrate and ZnO:N film showed good rectification. Also, ultraviolet radiation and visible light were emitted from this junction under a forward bias at room temperature. It is therefore thought that ZnO:N films have good crystallinity and that doped nitrogen atoms play a role as acceptors in ZnO:N films to form a good pn junction. From these phenomena and the excitation intensity dependency of PL spectra, emissions at 3.334 and 3.31 eV were assigned to neutral acceptor-bound exciton (A0X) emission and a donor-acceptor pair (DAP) emission due to doped nitrogen, respectively.  相似文献

Aligned trumpet-shaped zinc oxide microtube arrays have been successfully prepared on silicon (100) substrates via the chemical vapour deposition method with a mixture of ZnO and active carbon powders as reactants. The results show that two types of trumpet-shaped ZnO microtubes can be obtained. A plausible growth mechanism based on the studies of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), and room-temperature photoluminescence spectroscopy is proposed and discussed. The initial metastable zinc-rich ZnOx embryos play a key role in the formation of trumpet-shaped ZnO microtubes. On the different surfaces of metastable zinc-rich ZnOx (x 〈 1), embryos exhibit different stabilities and resistivities to oxidation; these tiny embryos are gradually extended with different growing rates along the directions of its long axis and circular boundary around its oxide shell. Just this special reason creates the formation of trumpet-shaped microtubes and results in the inerratic and imperfect hexagonshaped cross section that appears. Moreover, the analytical results also show that the as-synthesized ZnO microtube arrays can exhibit better room-temperature photoluminescence behaviour.  相似文献

Reproducible p-type phosphorus-doped ZnO (p-ZnO:P) films are prepared on semi-insulating InP substrates by metal-organic chemical vapour deposition technology. The electrical properties of these films show a hole concentration of 9.02 × 10^17 cm ^-3, a mobifity of 1.05 cm^2 /Vs, and a resistivity of 6.6 Ω.cm. Obvious acceptorbound-exciton-related emission and P-induced zinc vacancy (Vzn) emission are observed by low-temperature photoluminescence spectra of the films, and the acceptor binding energy is estimated to be about 125meV. The local chemical bonding environments of the phosphorus atoms in the ZnO are also identified by x-ray photoelectron spectra. Our results show direct experimental evidence that Pzn-2Vzn shallow acceptor complex most likely contributes to the p-type conductivity of ZnO:P films.  相似文献

ZnO thin films with highly c-axis orientation have been fabricated on p-type Si(1 1 1) substrates at 400 °C by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) from a metallic Zn target with oxygen pressures between 0.1 and 0.7 mbar. Experimental results indicate that the films deposited at 0.3 and 0.5 mbar have better crystalline and optical quality and flatter surfaces than the films prepared at other pressures. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of (0 0 0 2) diffraction peak decreases remarkably from 0.46 to 0.19° with increasing annealing temperature for the film prepared at 0.3 mbar. In photoluminescence (PL) spectra at room temperature, the annealed film at 700 °C exhibits a smaller ultraviolet (UV) peak FWHM of 108 meV than the as-grown film (119 meV). However, an enhanced deep-level emission is observed. Possible origins to above results are discussed.  相似文献

Transparent zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films with a thickness from 10 to 200 nm were prepared by the PLD technique onto silicon and Corning glass substrates at 350 °C, using an Excimer Laser XeCl (308 nm). Surface investigations carried out by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed a strong influence of thickness on film surface topography. Film roughness (RMS), grain shape and dimensions correlate with film thickness. For the 200 nm thick film, the RMS shows a maximum (13.9 nm) due to the presence of hexagonal shaped nanorods on the surface. XRD measurements proved that the films grown by PLD are c-axis textured. It was demonstrated that the gas sensing characteristics of ZnO films are strongly influenced and may be enhanced significantly by the control of film deposition parameters and surface characteristics, i.e. thickness and RMS, grain shape and dimension.  相似文献

ZnO thin films were grown on c-plane sapphire and GaAs (001) substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Atomic force microscopy and double-crystal X-ray diffractometry were utilized to investigate the structural properties of the ZnO films. The optical properties of ZnO films were also investigated in terms of time integrated and resolved photoluminescence (TIPL and TRPL). Large hexagonal crystallites and better crystalline quality were observed from the ZnO film on sapphire. Also, both the TIPL and TRPL showed a significant difference as the substrate changed. In particular, a detected sharp contrast in the result of TRPL measurement is due to the different defect structure and the lattice strain and stress of ZnO films on different substrates.  相似文献

The annealing effects of sapphire substrate on the quality of epitaxial ZnO films grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) were studied. The atomic steps formed on (0 0 0 1) sapphire (α-Al2O3) substrate surface by annealing at high temperature was analyzed by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The annealing effects of sapphire substrate on the ZnO films were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), AFM and photoluminescence (PL) measurements. Experimental results indicate that the film quality is strongly affected by annealing treatment of the sapphire substrate surface. The optimum annealing temperature of sapphire substrates is given.  相似文献

ZnO films with strong c-axis-preferred orientation have been prepared by a single source chemical vapor deposition technique using zinc acetate as source material at the growth temperature of 230 °C. The strong UV and blue emissions were observed in the photoluminescence spectra of as-grown films. A small quantity of residual zinc acetate was reserved on the surface of as-grown ZnO films and the emission mechanism of blue luminescence was nearly related to the CH3COO- of unidentate type. The blue emission disappeared and the green emission appeared after annealing treatment. The green emission is related to the singly ionized oxygen vacancies.  相似文献

InN and In0.46 Ca0.54N films are grown on sapphire with a CaN buffer by metalorganic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD). Both high resolution x-ray diffraction and high resolution transmission electron microscopy results reveal that these films have a hexagonal structure of single crystal. The thin InN film has a high mobility of 4 75 cm^2V^-1s^-1 and that oflno.46 Gao.54N is 163 cm^2 V^-1s^-1. Room-temperat ure photoluminescence measurement of the InN film shows a peak at 0.72eV, confirming that a high quality InN film is fabricated for applications to full spectrum solar cells.  相似文献

Using a mixture of ZnO and Te powders as the source material, ZnO nanoleaves with high yield and uniform morphology are fabricated by thermal evaporation. Each nanoleaf is constructed with a nanowire and a nanodisc on one side of the nanowire near the top. The polygonal nanodisc is in symmetric distribution in relation to the nanowires and has polar planes ±(0001) as surfaces. A local homoepitaxial growth mechanism of ZnO polar nanodiscs induced by Te is proposed. With thin nanodiscs, the ZnO nanoleaves could be used in nanolasers, sensors, and photoelectronic nanodevices. Room-temperature photoluminescence result implies good crystalline quality of the ZnO nanoleaves.  相似文献

We have grown nitrogen-doped ZnO (ZnO:N) films by laser molecular-beam epitaxy. The use of lattice-matched ScAlMgO4 substrates prevented the degradation of crystallinity induced by the nitrogen incorporation to the films. Despite this improvement, we have not obtained ZnO:N films which showed p-type conductivity. We studied the optical properties of these ZnO:N films. Donor-acceptor pair (DAP) luminescence was observed. The results indicate the formation of an acceptor state. The energy position of the DAP luminescence is lower than that reported by Look et al. [Appl. Phys. Lett. 81 (2002) 1830]. The DAP luminescence band shifts to lower energy with increasing nitrogen concentration. A photoluminescence recombination possibly due to the free-electron-to-acceptor (FA) transition was observed at temperatures higher than 40 K. The acceptor ionization energy was estimated from the energy position of the FA luminescence to be 266 meV.  相似文献
