초록

In the present work, copper oxide thin films were formed by heat-treatment method with different temperatures and atmosphere, e.g., at 200 ~ 400 ℃; in air and Ar atmosphere. The morphological, electrical and optical properties of the thermally fabricated Cu oxide films were analyzed by SEM, XRD, and UV-VIS spectrometer. Thereafter, photoelectrochemical properties of the thermal copper oxide films were analyzed under solar light (AM 1.5, 100 mW/cm2). Conclusively, the highest photocurrent was obtained with Cu2O formed under the optimum annealing condition at 300 ℃ in air atmosphere. In addition, EIS results of Cu oxide formed in air atmosphere showed relatively low resistance and long electron life-time compared with Cu Oxide fabricated in Ar atmosphere at the same temperature. This is because heat-treatment in Ar atmosphere could not form Cu2O due to lack of oxygen, and thermally formed CuO at high temperature suppressed stability and conductivity of the Cu oxide.
