Structural and optical properties of sputtered ZnO thin films

Zinc oxide (ZnO) and aluminium-doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Al) thin films were prepared by RF diode sputtering at varying deposition conditions. The effects of negative bias voltage and RF power on structural and optical properties were investigated. X-ray diffraction measurements (XRD) confirmed that both un-doped and Al-doped ZnO films are polycrystalline and have hexagonal wurtzite structure. The preferential 〈0 0 1〉 orientation and surface roughness evaluated by AFM measurements showed dependence on applied bias voltage and RF power. The sputtered ZnO and ZnO:Al films had high optical transmittance (>90%) in the wavelength range of 400-800 nm, which was not influenced by bias voltage and RF power. ZnO:Al were conductive and highly transparent. Optical band gap of un-doped and Al-doped ZnO thin films depended on negative bias and RF power and in both cases showed tendency to narrowing.     

XRD study on the effect of the deposition condition on pulsed laser deposition of ZnO films

Using a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) process on a ZnO target in an oxygen atmosphere, thin films of this material have been deposited on Si(111) substrates. An Nd: YAG pulsed laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm was used as the laser source. The influences of the deposition temperature, laser energy, annealing temperature and focus lens position on the crystallinity of ZnO films were analyzed by X-ray diffraction. The results show that the ZnO thin films obtained at the deposition temperature of 400°C and the laser energy of 250 mJ have the best crystalline quality in our experimental conditions. The ZnO thin films fabricated at substrate temperature 400°C were annealed at the temperatures from 400°C to 800°C in an atmosphere of N₂. The results show that crystalline quality has been improved by annealing, the optimum temperature being 600°C. The position of the focusing lens has a strong influence on pulsed laser deposition of the ZnO thin films and the optimum position is 59.5 cm from the target surface for optics with a focal length of 70 cm.      

Structural,Morphological and Electrical Properties of In-Doped Zinc Oxide Nanostructure Thin Films Grown on p-Type Gallium Nitride by Simultaneous Radio-Frequency Direct-Current Magnetron Co-Sputtering

Zinc oxide(ZnO) is one of the most promising and frequently used semiconductor materials.In-doped nanostructure ZnO thin 61 ms are grown on p-type gallium nitride substrates by employing the simultaneous rf and dc magnetron co-sputtering technique.The effect of In-doping on structural,morphological and electrical properties is studied.The different dopant concentrations are accomplished by varying the direct current power of the In target while keeping the fixed radio frequency power of the ZnO target through the co-sputtering deposition technique by using argon as the sputtering gas at ambient temperature.The structural analysis confirms that all the grown thin films preferentially orientate along the c-axis with the wurtzite hexagonal crystal structure without having any kind of In oxide phases.The presenting Zn,O and In elements' chemical compositions are identified with EDX mapping analysis of the deposited thin films and the calculated M ratio has been found to decrease with the increasing In power.The surface topographies of the grown thin films are examined with the atomic force microscope technique.The obtained results reveal that the grown Elm roughness increases with the In power.The Hall measurements ascertain that all the grown films have n-type conductivity and also the other electrical parameters such as resistivity,mobility and carrier concentration are anaiyzed.

Photocatalytic performance of ZnO:Fe array films under sunlight irradiation

ZnO:Fe array thin films were prepared by the hydrothermal method using the sol-gel grown film as a seed layer. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet/visible absorption spectra (UV-vis) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The photocatalytic activities of the prepared samples were investigated for the photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) under sunlight irradiation. The results show that the lattice constant a and the cell volume of ZnO:Fe film increase due to the substitution of Fe for Zn. The absorption edge of Fe-doped ZnO displays a red shift with a significant absorption between 600 and 700 nm. The ZnO:Fe array film is composed of disk particles with uniformity and compactness. Doping Fe ions enhances the photodegradation rate of ZnO array film for MB. 1.5% Fe doped ZnO sample exhibits the highest activity under irradiation time of 4 h. Its degradation rate increases about 1.6 times compared to the undoped ZnO.

Surface morphology and luminescence characterization of β-FeSi2 thin films prepared by pulsed laser deposition

β-FeSi₂ thin films were prepared on Si (1 1 1) substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) with a sintering FeSi₂ target and an electrolytic Fe target. The thin films without micron-size droplets were prepared using the electrolytic Fe target; however, the surface without droplets was remarkably rougher using the Fe target than using the FeSi₂ target. After deposition at 600 °C and then annealing at 900 °C for 20 h, XRD indicated that the thin film prepared using the Fe target had a poly-axis-orientation, but that prepared using the FeSi₂ target had a one-axis-orientation. The PL spectra of the thin films prepared using the FeSi₂ and Fe targets at a growth temperature of 600 °C and subsequently annealed at 900 °C for 20 h had A-, B- and C-bands. Moreover, it was found that the main peak at 0.808 eV (A-band) in the PL spectrum of the thin films prepared using the FeSi₂ target was the intrinsic luminescence of β-FeSi₂ from the dependence of PL peak energy on temperature and excitation power density.     

Effects of post-annealing on the structural and nanomechanical properties of Ga-doped ZnO thin films deposited on glass substrate by rf-magnetron sputtering

In this study, the effects of post-annealing on the structure, surface morphology and nanomechanical properties of ZnO thin films doped with a nominal concentration of 3 at.% Ga (ZnO:Ga) are investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and nanoindentation techniques. The ZnO:Ga thin films were deposited on the glass substrates at room temperature by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. Results revealed that the as-deposited ZnO:Ga thin films were polycrystalline albeit the low deposition temperature. Post-annealing carried out at 300, 400 and 500 °C, respectively, has resulted in progressive increase in both the average grain size and the surface roughness of the ZnO:Ga thin film, in addition to the improved thin films crystallinity. Moreover, the hardness and Young's modulus of ZnO:Ga thin films are measured by a Berkovich nanoindenter operated with the continuous contact stiffness measurements (CSM) option. The hardness and Young's modulus of ZnO:Ga thin films increased as the annealing temperature increased from 300 to 500 °C, with the best results being obtained at 500 °C.     

Room-temperature ferromagnetism of the amorphous Cu-doped ZnO thin films

Amorphous copper-doped ZnO thin films (ZnO:Cu) prepared on glass substrates by the radio-frequency magnetron co-sputtering have been investigated. Magnetic measurements indicated that the amorphous ZnO:Cu thin films were ferromagnetic at room temperature and the saturation magnetization was much higher than that of the polycrystalline films. X-ray diffraction results showed there was no Cu₂O phase in amorphous ZnO:Cu films, which might be the reason for the high magnetic moment of the films. On the other hand, the high saturation magnetization of the amorphous ZnO:Cu films could also attribute to that there was no limit of solid solubility of Cu in amorphous ZnO solvent. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy study of the amorphous ZnO:Cu thin films reveal that copper was in Cu²⁺ chemical state.
