Abstract: | Zinc sulphide thin film electroluminescent devices doped with Mn or Tb have been produced on p-type Si substrates using a process in which doped zinc oxide films are deposited by a sol-gel drain coating method from a solution of zinc acetate containing a manganese or terbium dopant. The films are then converted to ZnS by heating them in an atmosphere containing hydrogen sulphide which replaces the oxygyn with sulphur. The composition, crystalline structure and optical properties of films have shown that complete conversion from the oxide to the sulphide takes place. The luminescent characteristics of the devices so produced have been measured as a function of the doping concentrations, film thickness, insulator thickness and driving voltage and frequency. It has been found that yellow or green luminescence can be obtained using Mn or Tb doping respectively. |
