ZnO thin films, Preparation, Optical propertiesAbstract
ZnO/Si films were prepared by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering at room temperature. By optimizing the heat treatment conditions, we obtained a good quality film annealed at 700 ºC for longer 60 minutes. This process was monitored carefully by Raman scattering spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The photoluminescence study on this film revealed that only ultraviolet emissions due to donor-acceptor pair (DAP), neutral acceptor-bound exciton (AºX) and donor-bound exciton (DºX) were observed. The intensity and peak position of these emissions depend on the measurement temperature and excitation power density.Downloads
