Effect of ZnO buffer layer on the property of ZnO thin film on $Al_{2}O_{3}$ substrate

사파이어 기판 위에 증착된 ZnO 박막 특성에 대한 ZnO 버퍼층의 영향

ZnO thin films are demanded for device applications, so ZnO buffer layer was used to improve for good properties of ZnO thin film. In this study, the structural, electrical and optical properties of ZnO thin films deposited with various buffer thickness was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Hall measurements, Photoluminescence(PL). ZnO buffer layer and ZnO thin films on sapphire($Al_{2}O_{3}$) substrate have been deposited $200^{\circ}C$ and $400^{\circ}C$ respectively by pulsed laser deposition. It is observed the variety of lattice constant of ZnO thin film by (101) peak position shift with various buffer thickness. It is founded that ZnO thin film with buffer thickness of 20 nm was larger resistivity of 200 factor and UV/visible of 2.5 factor than that of ZnO thin films without buffer layer. ZnO thin films with buffer thickness of 20 nm have shown the most properties.
