Undoped and Al-doped ZnO films were synthesized by atomic layer deposition at 150°C and then annealed at 350°C in different atmospheres. Effects of doping and annealing on the film growth mode and properties were investigated. The undoped film has strong UV emission and weak Zn interstitial emission. Annealing introduces O vacancies, decreases Zn interstitials, and results in weakening and blue-shifting of the UV emission which is sensitive to annealing atmosphere. Al doping induces the film growing with its c-axis parallel to the substrate surface. It also introduces non-radiative centers and weakens the UV emission. Al doping widens the film bandgap, which has a quadratic dependence on Al content. Al doping decreases the film resistivity to 5.3 × 10(-3) Ω · cm. Annealing has little effect on photoluminescence of the doped films, but it degrades undoped and doped ZnO film conductivity dramatically; and the degradation depends on the annealing ambient.
通过原子层沉积在150°C合成未掺杂和铝掺杂的ZnO薄膜,然后在350°C于不同气氛中退火。研究了掺杂和退火对薄膜生长模式及性能的影响。未掺杂薄膜具有强烈的紫外发射和微弱的锌间隙发射。退火引入氧空位,减少锌间隙,导致紫外发射减弱并蓝移,且紫外发射对退火气氛敏感。铝掺杂促使薄膜以其c轴平行于衬底表面生长。它还引入非辐射中心并减弱紫外发射。铝掺杂拓宽了薄膜带隙,带隙与铝含量呈二次依赖关系。铝掺杂使薄膜电阻率降低至5.3×10(-3)Ω·cm。退火对掺杂薄膜的光致发光影响不大,但会显著降低未掺杂和掺杂ZnO薄膜的电导率;且电导率的降低取决于退火环境。
