Investigation of DTS effect on r.f. magnetron sputtered ZnO thin films

The aim of this study depends on understanding the effect of target‐to‐substrate distance (D_TS) on ZnO thin films deposited by r.f. magnetron sputtering on to glass substrates at room temperature conditions. The D_TS was changed from 35 mm to 65 mm with steps of 5 mm at 165 W and 0.2 Pa. The deposition rate of the films were ranged from 76 Ǻ / min to 146 Ǻ / min, while 10^‐3 Ω.cm was obtained as the resistivity value with the help of four point probe technique. The structural investigations were carried out by using both the x‐ray diffraction (XRD) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy. According to XRD observations, the films were (002) oriented. Surface behaviour of the ZnO films was examined with atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The root mean square (RMS) values were varied from 4.6 nm to 22.8 nm. Also, optical properties were obtained from UV–visible spectrophotometer and the transmittances as around 80 %. At 45 mm D_TS value, the minimum resistivity measured as 9 × 10^{− 4} Ω.cm with 76 Ǻ / min deposition rate. The RMS was obtained as 4.9 nm and transmission was measured as 85.30 %, while band gap was 3.45 eV.     

Influence of substrate and film thickness on structural,optical and electrical properties of ZnO thin films

Transparent Zinc Oxide (ZnO) thin films have been grown on Si (100) and Sapphire (0001) substrates by RF magnetron sputtering for different growth time intervals (10, 30 and 60 min) to study the substrate and thickness effects. All the films have been grown at a substrate temperature of 450 °C. It has been found that the average growth rate on Si (100) substrate (8.6 nm/min) is higher than that on Sapphire (0001) substrate (2.6 nm/min) in an identical growth condition which clearly shows the virtual role of substrates. The lower growth rate on Sapphire (0001) suggests that the increasingly ordered and uniform growth due to less lattice mismatch. The grown films have been characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Reflectance, Photoluminescence (PL) and Hall measurements. The XRD result (FWHM) reveals that for lower growth time, the films grown on Si (100) is better than on Sapphire (0001). Conversely, for higher growth time, the films grown on Sapphire (0001) is better than on Si (100). The variation of strain behavior due to thickness on both substrates has been justified by UV‐Vis reflectance, photoluminescence and Hall effect measurements. (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Influence of the substrate temperature on the structural,optical, and electrical properties of tin selenide thin films deposited by thermal evaporation method

Thin films of tin selenide (SnSe) were deposited on sodalime glass substrates, which were held at different temperatures in the range of 350‐550 K, from the pulverized compound material using thermal evaporation method. The effect of substrate temperature (T_s) on the structural, morphological, optical, and electrical properties of the films were investigated using x‐ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission measurements, and Hall‐effect characterization techniques. The temperature dependence of the resistance of the films was also studied in the temperature range of 80‐330 K. The XRD spectra and the SEM image analyses suggest that the polycrystalline thin films having uniform distribution of grains along the (111) diffraction plane was obtained at all T_s. With the increase of T_s the intensity of the diffraction peaks increased and well‐resolved peaks at 550 K, substrate temperature, were obtained. The analysis of the data of the optical transmission spectra suggests that the films had energy band gap in the range of 1.38‐1.18 eV. Hall‐effect measurements revealed the resistivity of films in the range 112‐20 Ω cm for films deposited at different T_s. The activation energy for films deposited at different T_s was in the range of 0.14 eV‐0.28 eV as derived from the analysis of the data of low‐temperature resistivity measurements.
