Studies on morphology,electrical and optical characteristics of Al-doped ZnO thin films grown by atomic layer deposition

Al doped ZnO (AZO) films deposited on glass substrates through the atomic layer deposition (ALD)technique are investigated with various temperatures from 100 to 250 ℃ and different Zn ∶ Al cycle ratios from 20 ∶ 0 to 20 ∶ 3.Surface morphology,structure,optical and electrical properties of obtained AZO films are studied in detail.The Al composition of the AZO films is varied by controlling the ratio of Zn ∶ Al.We achieve an excellent AZO thin film with a resistivity of 2.14 × 10-3 Ω·cm and high optical transmittance deposited at 150 ℃ with 20 ∶ 2 Zn ∶ Al cycle ratio.This kind of AZO thin films exhibit great potential for optoelectronics device application.     

Influences of ZnO buffer layers on the quality of ZnO films synthesized by the metal-organic chemical vapor deposition process

High-quality ZnO thin films were prepared by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) on a sapphire (a-Al₂O₃) substrate. The synthesis of ZnO films was performed over a substrate temperature of 400–700°C and at chamber pressures of 0.1–10 torr. The structural and optical properties of ZnO films were investigated in terms of deposition conditions, such as substrate temperature, working pressure, and the ratio of Zn precursor (Diethylzinc (DEZn)) to oxygen. The ZnO films, preferentially oriented to 34.42° diffraction because of the (002) plane, were obtained under processing conditions of 700°C and 3 torr. This film shows a full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of 0.4–0.6°. The results of photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy also show a strong near band-edge emission at 3.36 eV at 10 K as well as a very weak emission at deep levels around 2.5 eV at room temperature. In addition, we are interested in the introduction of ZnO buffer-layer growth by the sputtering process to reduce lattice mismatch stress. This paper addresses how to advance the crystalline and optical properties of film. The ZnO film grown with the aid of a buffer layer shows a FWHM of 0.06–0.1° in the x-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern. This result indicates that crystalline properties were highly improved by the ZnO buffer layers. The PL spectroscopy data of ZnO film also shows a strong near band-edge emission and very weak deep-level emission similar to films synthesized without a buffer layer. Accordingly, synthesized ZnO films with buffer layers indicate fairly good optical properties and low defect density as well as excellent crystallinity.     

Al掺杂ZnO薄膜的XPS谱及电学性质研究

采用直流反应磁控溅射法在玻璃基底上用Zn(99.99%)掺杂Al(1.5%)靶制备出高质量的Al掺杂的ZnO(AZO)薄膜。用X射线光电子能谱仪对退火处理后的薄膜进行了成分和元素的价态分析,并用Van der Pauw方法对样品的电学特性进行了测量。实验结果表明,Zn和Al元素都以氧化态的形式存在,O元素主要是以晶格氧和吸附氧的形式存在。AZO薄膜的电学性质受退火温度和氧氩比的影响较大。随着退火温度的升高,电阻率减小,载流子浓度和迁移率增大。随着氧氩比的增大,电阻率增大,迁移率减小。因此可得到用直流反应磁控溅射法制备AZO薄膜的最佳氧氩比和退火温度分别为0.3/27和400℃,在此条件下制备出的薄膜电阻率可低至10-4Ω.cm,载流子浓度可达1020cm-3。     

Effects of the ZnO buffer layer and Al proportion on AZO film properties

To evaluate the influence of the ZnO buffer layer and Al proportion on the properties of ZnO: Al (AZO)/ZnO bi-layer films, a series of AZO/ZnO films are deposited on the quartz substrates by electron beam evaporation. The X-ray diffraction measurement shows that the crystal quality of the films is improved with the increase of the film thickness. The electrical properties of the films are investigated. The carrier concentration and Hall mobility both increase with the increase of buffer layer thickness. However, the resistivity reaches the lowest at about 50 nm-thick buffer layer. The lowest resistivity and the maximum Hall mobility are both obtained at 1 wt% Al concentration. But the optical transmittance of all the films is greater than 80% regardless of the buffer layer thickness with Al concentration lower than 5 wt% in the visible region.

Transparent Flexible Substrates Based on Polyimides with Aluminum Doped Zinc Oxide (AZO) Thin Films

In this paper, transparent flexible substrates based on polyimides (PIs) with aluminum doped zinc oxide (AZO) thin films for organic electroluminescent devices have been prepared. PI film based on 2,2'-bis-(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl) hexafluoropropanedianhydride (6FDA) and 2,2'-bis-(trifluoromethyl)-4,4'-diaminobiphenyl (TFDB) were used for transparent flexible substrates. AZO thin films were prepared at two substrate deposition temperatures of 100/spl deg/C and 200/spl deg/C with a typical radio-frequency (r.f.) planar magnetron sputtering system. The sheet resistance and the optical transmission properties for AZO films on the fluorinated PI substrate were comparable with those for the AZO films on a glass substrate. The substrate properties were better when the deposition temperature was higher.
