光辅助对MOCVD法制备ZnO薄膜性能的影响

采用光辅助金属有机化学气相沉积(MOCVD)技术在(0001)蓝宝石衬底上制备了ZnO薄膜。通过X射线衍射、透射光谱和霍尔测试等研究了光照对MOCVD法制备的ZnO薄膜的影响。实验结果表明,引入光辅助后制备的ZnO薄膜,其结晶质量和光学质量均得到改善。分析认为,这主要是由于光辅助有助于提高锌有机源的分解效率,并且高能量的光子可为反应吸附的原子提供足够高的激活能,从而易于其迁移到合适的晶格位置所致。同时我们还发现,有光照和无光照条件下制备的ZnO薄膜均呈n型导电,但有光照条件下制备的ZnO薄膜具有更低的本底载流子浓度,这将为日后通过降低自补偿实现p型掺杂提供一个很好的解决办法。

Effect of the annealing environment on the optical properties of ZnO/GaAs grown by MOCVD

The optical properties of ZnO grown on (1 0 0) GaAs substrate using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition are investigated by photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Postgrowth annealing in nitrogen and oxygen was performed for different times and temperatures in order to incorporate As from the substrate into the ZnO thin films. The PL spectra of the samples annealed in different ambients reveal that the effect of As diffusion into the ZnO thin films is more pronounced when the annealing is performed in oxygen at 550 °C. The 11 K PL spectra show the appearance of a transition at ∼3.35 eV after annealing in oxygen at 550 °C for 1 h. A further increase in the annealing temperature leads to the disappearance of this line, while for annealing times longer than 2 h at 550 °C, it is no longer prominent. The increase in intensity of this new transition is also accompanied by the enhancement of radiative centers related to structural defects, such as the stacking fault-related transition at 3.31 eV and the Y-line. Temperature dependent PL illustrates the excitonic nature of the new transition at ∼3.35 eV, which is therefore assigned to (A⁰, X) transition, where the acceptor is possibly the 2V_Zn-As_Zn complex, with an activation energy E_A in the range of 160-240 meV. Furthermore, the enhancement of the radiative centers related to structural defects is regarded as evidence that As atoms tend to segregate in the vicinity of structural defects to relieve local strain.     

Single violet luminescence emitted from ZnO films obtained by oxidation of Zn film on quartz glass

The photoluminescence (PL) emission properties of ZnO films obtained on quartz glass substrate by the oxidation of Zn films were studied. The strong single violet emission centering about 413-424 nm was observed in the room temperature PL spectra of the ZnO films. The intensity of violet emission increased and the peak position shift from 424 to 413 nm with increasing oxygen pressures. The violet emission was attributed to the electron transition from the valence band to interstitial zinc (Zn_i) level under low oxygen pressure conditions (50-500 Pa). Under high oxygen pressure conditions (5000-23,000 Pa), both interstitial zinc (Zn_i) and zinc Vacancy (V_Zn) were thought to be responsible for the violet emission.     

生长温度对MOCVD外延ZnO纳米结构的影响

为了探究生长温度对外延ZnO纳米结构的影响,得到ZnO纳米结构可控生长的生长温度条件。利用金属有机化学气相沉积（MOCVD）方法,设计并获得了不同生长温度的ZnO外延样品,并对所有样品进行了表面形貌、光学特性、电学特性表征和结晶质量表征。实验结果表明:600℃生长的ZnO纳米柱横向尺寸最小,为65 nm左右,其光学特性也相对较好,晶体衍射峰的半峰宽最小,为0.165°,晶粒尺寸最大,为47.6 nm;电学性质相对最优的为640℃生长的ZnO样品,霍尔迁移率高达23.5 cm²/（V·s）。通过结果分析发现,生长温度能影响外延ZnO的生长模式,从而影响ZnO的形貌、光学、电学和晶体质量等特性。     

温度对Si上MOCVD-ZnO成核与薄膜生长特性的影响

采用金属有机化学气相沉积(MOCVD)方法在Si衬底上进行了ZnO的成核与薄膜生长研究。ZnO薄膜的形貌和结晶特性由成核和后期生长过程共同决定,初期成核温度决定了其尺寸和密度,进而影响后期ZnO主层的生长行为,但由于高温对后期ZnO纳米柱横向生长的抑制,纳米柱的尺寸并没有因为成核尺寸的增大而变大,因此在560℃得到了晶柱尺寸最大、密度最小的ZnO薄膜。最后通过改变成核温度,优化了ZnO外延膜的结晶质量。     

Investigation of the luminescence properties of ZnO tetrapods and clusters grown on Si substrates

ZnO nanostructures are formed on Si substrates using Zn powder without catalyst. The substrate temperature was controlled from 450 to 600 °C, and the variation of structural and optical properties was investigated. From all samples both ZnO tetrapods and clusters were observed. Among them, no significant dispersion was observed from the ZnO tetrapods. However, ZnO clusters show considerable change in density and size. From the energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) results, atomic composition difference was observed. The clusters have considerable O-deficiencies, while tetrapods have almost stoichiometric composition. From all samples, strong luminescence, UV emission at 3.21 eV and green emission at 2.5 eV, were observed at room temperature. Cathodoluminescence measurements showed that the UV emission is closely related with tetrapods and the green emission is dominated from the clusters.     

Magnesium incorporation efficiencies in Mg_xZn_(1-x)O films on ZnO substrates grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition

We investigate the magnesium(Mg) incorporation efficiencies in Mg_xZn_(1-x)O films on c-plane Zn-face ZnO substrates by using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD) technique. In order to deposit high quality Mg_xZn_(1-x)O films,atomically smooth epi-ready surfaces of the hydrothermal grown ZnO substrates are achieved by thermal annealing in O_2 atmosphere and characterized by atomic force microscope(AFM). The AFM, scanning electron microscope(SEM),and x-ray diffraction(XRD) studies demonstrate that the Mg_xZn_(1-x)O films each have flat surface and hexagonal wurtzite structure without phase segregation at up to Mg content of 34.4%. The effects of the growth parameters including substrate temperature, reactor pressure and Ⅵ/Ⅱ ratio on Mg content in the films are investigated by XRD analysis based on Vegard's law, and confirmed by photo-luminescence spectra and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy as well. It is indicated that high substrate temperature, low reactor pressure, and high Ⅵ/Ⅱratio are good for obtaining high Mg content.     

Effect of ZnO film thickness on the performance of organic light emitting diodes

The electrical and optical properties of the ZnO layers and of the ITO/ZnO bilayers are investigated. We show that a ZnO layer of about 120 nm is the best compromise to obtain simultaneously a high transmittance and conductivity. Moreover an X-ray diffraction analysis underscores that an amorphous ITO deposited on a polycrystalline ZnO could change into a polycrystalline ITO. The modifications of the ITO layer by a preliminary deposition of a 120 nm thick ZnO underlayer enables us to decrease the threshold voltage of organic light emitting diodes.

The crystallinity of the grown films was studied by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and the thickness and morphology were investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The influence of substrate orientation and molar ratio of the precursors on the crystalline orientation and morphology of the ZnO grown films was analysed.

X-ray analysis of ZnO nanorods grown by microwave irradiation heating on ZnO films

Utilizing microwave irradiation heating, 100-nm-diameter ZnO nanorods were grown from aqueous solution on sputtered ZnO films on glass substrates. Its out-of-plane X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement indicated that the ZnO nanorods were grown with c-axis orientation, similar with the underlying ZnO films. In the in-plane XRD measurement, intensity of the () diffraction was comparable with that of the () one, suggesting their intensity ratio would contain useful information on nanorods density.     

Optical and electrical properties of aluminum-doped ZnO thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition

Transparent aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) thin films were deposited on quartz glass substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) from ablating Zn-Al metallic targets. The structural, electrical and optical properties of these films were characterized as a function of Al concentration (0-8 wt.%) in the target. Films were deposited at a low substrate temperature of 150 °C under 11 Pa of oxygen pressure. It was observed that 2 wt.% of Al in the target (or 1.37 wt.% of Al doped in the AZO film) is the optimum concentration to achieve the minimum film resistivity and strong ultraviolet emission. The presence of Al in the ZnO film changes the carrier concentration and the intrinsic defects.
