  • Zinc oxide is, one of metal oxide semiconductor, harmless to human and environment-friendly. It has excellent chemical and thermal stability properties. Wurtzite-zinc oxide is a large band gap energy of 3.37 eV and high exciton binding energy of 60 meV. It can be applied to various fields, such as solar cells, degradation of the dye waste, the gas sensor. The photocatalytic activity of zinc oxide is varied according to the particle shape and change of crystallinity. Therefore, It is very important to specify the additives and the experimental variables. In this study, the zinc oxide were synthesized by using a microwave assisted hydrothermal synthesis. The precursor was used as the zinc nitrate, the pH value was controlled as 11 by NaOH. Surfactants are the ethanolamine, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, sodium dodecyl sulfate, sorbitan monooleate was added by changing the concentration. The composite particles had the shape of a star-like, curcular cone, seed shape, flake-sphere. Physical and chemical properties of the obtained zinc oxide was characterized using x-ray diffractometer, field emission scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and optical properties was characterized using UV-visible spectroscopy, photoluminescence and raman spectroscopy.

  • ZnO with a large band gap (~3.37 eV) and exciton binding energy (~60 meV), is suitable for optoelectronic applications such as ultraviolet (UV) light emitting diodes (LEDs) and detectors. However, the ZnO-based p-n homojunction is not readily available because it is difficult to fabricate reproducible p-type ZnO with high hall concentration and mobility. In order to solve this problem, there have been numerous attempts to develop p-n heterojunction LEDs with ZnO as the n-type layer. The n-ZnO/p-GaN heterostructure is a good candidate for ZnO-based heterojunction LEDs because of their similar physical properties and the reproducible availability of p-type GaN. Especially, the reduced lattice mismatch (~1.8 %) and similar crystal structure result in the advantage of acquiring high performance LED devices. In particular, a number of ZnO films show UV band-edge emission with visible deep-level emission, which is originated from point defects such as oxygen vacancy, oxygen interstitial, zinc interstitial[1]. Thus, defect-related peak positions can be controlled by variation of growth or annealing conditions. In this work, the undoped ZnO film was grown on the p-GaN:Mg film using RF magnetron sputtering method. The undoped ZnO/p-GaN:Mg heterojunctions were annealed in a horizontal tube furnace. The annealing process was performed at $800^{\circ}C$ during 30 to 90 min in air ambient to observe the variation of the defect states in the ZnO film. Photoluminescence measurements were performed in order to confirm the deep-level position of the ZnO film. As a result, the deep-level emission showed orange-red color in the as-deposited film, while the defect-related peak positions of annealed films were shifted to greenish side as increasing annealing time. Furthermore, the electrical resistivity of the ZnO film was decreased after annealing process. The I-V characteristic of the LEDs showed nonlinear and rectifying behavior. The room-temperature electroluminescence (EL) was observed under forward bias. The EL showed a weak white and strong yellowish emission colors (~575 nm) in the undoped ZnO/p-GaN:Mg heterojunctions before and after annealing process, respectively.

  • We have fabricated ZnO thin film on $Pt/TiO-2/SiO_2/Si$ substrate by the sol-gel method and have investigated the effect of annealing temperature on the structural morphology and optical properties of ZnO thin films. The ZnO thin film annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ exhibits the highest c-axis orientation and its FWHM of X-ray peak is $0.4360^{\circ}C$. In the results of surface morphology investigation of ZnO thin film by using Am it is observed that ZnO thin film annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ exhibits the largest UV (ultraviolet) exciton emission at around 378nm and the smallest visible emission at around 510nm among these of ZnO thin films annealed at various temperatures. It is deduced that the ZnO thim film annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ is formed most stoichiometrically since the visible emission at around 510nm comes from oxygen vacancy or impurities.

  • The stochiometric mixture of evaporating materials for the $ZnIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin film was prepared from horizontal furnace. To obtain the $ZnIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin film, $ZnIn_2S_4$ mixed crystal was deposited on throughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) in the Hot Wall Epitaxy(HWE) system. The source and substrate temperature were $610^{\circ}C$ and $450^{\circ}C$, respectively and the growth rate of the $ZnIn_2S_4$ sing1e crystal thin film was about $0.5\;{\mu}m/hr$. The crystalline structure of $ZnIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin film was investigated by photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction(DCXD) measurement. The carrier density and mobility of $ZnIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin film measured from Hall effect by van der Pauw method are $8.51{\times}10^{17}\;cm^{-3}$, $291\;cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ at $293_{\circ}\;K$, respectively. From the photocurrent spectrum by illumination of perpendicular light on the c - axis of the $ZnIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin film, we have found that the values of spin orbit splitting ${\Delta}S_O$ and the crystal field splitting ${\Delta}Cr$ were 0.0148 eV and 0.1678 eV at $10_{\circ}\; K$, respectively. From the photoluminescence measurement of $ZnIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin film, we observed free excition $(E_X)$ typically observed only in high quality crystal and neutral donor bound exciton $(D^{o},X)$ having very strong peak intensity The full width at half maximum and binding energy of neutral donor bound excition were 9 meV and 26 meV, respectively, The activation energy of impurity measured by Haynes rule was 130 meV.

  • ZnO has been extensively studied for optoelectronic applications such as blue and ultraviolet (UV) light emitters and detectors, because it has a wide band gap (3.37 eV) anda large exciton binding energy of ~60 meV over GaN (~26 meV). However, the fabrication of the light emitting devices using ZnO homojunctions is suffered from the lack of reproducibility of the p-type ZnO with high hall concentration and mobility. Thus, the ZnO-based p-n heterojunction light emitting diode (LED) using p-Si and p-GaN would be expected to exhibit stable device performance compared to the homojunction LED. The n-ZnO/p-GaN heterostructure is a good candidate for ZnO-based heterojunction LEDs because of their similar physical properties and the reproducibleavailability of p-type GaN. Especially, the reduced lattice mismatch (~1.8 %) and similar crystal structure result in the advantage of acquiring high performance LED devices with low defect density. However, the electroluminescence (EL) of the device using n-ZnO/p-GaN heterojunctions shows the blue and greenish emissions, which are attributed to the emission from the p-GaN and deep-level defects. In this work, the n-ZnO:Ga/p-GaN:Mg heterojunction light emitting diodes (LEDs) were fabricated at different growth temperatures and carrier concentrations in the n-type region. The effects of the growth temperature and carrier concentration on the electrical and emission properties were investigated. The I-V and the EL results showed that the device performance of the heterostructure LEDs, such as turn-on voltage and true ultraviolet emission, developed through the insertion of a thin intrinsic layer between n-ZnO:Ga and p-GaN:Mg. This observation was attributed to a lowering of the energy barriers for the supply of electrons and holes into intrinsic ZnO, and recombination in the intrinsic ZnO with the absence of deep level emission.

  • The effects of post-annealing temperature on the optical and electrical properties of P-doped ZnO thin films grown on sapphire substrate have been investigated under oxygen ambient. The XRD shows that regardless of the post-annealing temperature, all P-doped ZnO thin films indicate the c-axis orientation. The results of hall effect measurements indicate the P-doped ZnO thin film annealed at $850^{\circ}C$ exhibits p-type behavior with hole concentration of $1.18{\times}1016cm^{-3}$ and hole mobility of $0.96cm^2/Vs$. The low-temperature (10K) Photoluminescence results reveal that the peak related to the neutral-acceptor exciton (A0X), free electrons to neutral acceptor (FA) and donor acceptor pair (DAP) at 3.351ev, 3.283eV and 3.201eV are observed in the films showing p-type behavior with acceptor. The optimization of deposition and post-annealing conditions will certainly make the P-doped ZnO thin films promising materials for the application to the next generation of optical devices.

  • A stoichiometric mixture of evaporating materials for AgInS₂ single crystal thin films was prepared from horizontal electric furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films. AgInS₂ mixed crystal was deposited on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate by the Hot Wall Epitaxy(HWE)system. The source and substrate temperatures were 680℃ and 410℃, respectively. The crystalline structure of the single crystal thin films was investigated by the photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction(DCXD). The carrier density and mobility of AgInS₂ single crystal thin film mea-sured from Hall effect by van der Pauw method are 9.35×10/sup 16/㎤ and 294㎠/V·s at 293K respectively. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the AgInS₂ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation , E/sub g/(T)=2.1365eV-(9.89×10/sup-3/eV/K/)T²(T+2930K). The crystal field and the spin-orbit splitting energies for the valence band of the AgInS₂ have been estimated to be 0.1541eV and 0.0129 eV, respectively, by means of the photocur-rent spectra and the Hopfield quasicubic model. These results indicate that the splitting of the Δso definitely exists in the Γ/sub 5/ states of the valence band of the AgInS₂ /GaAs epilayer. The three photo-current peaks ovserved at 10K are ascribed to the A₁-, B-₁and C₁-exction peaks for n=1.

  • 최근 광소자와 더불어 발전과 더불어 고효율의 새로운 광소자에 대한 수요가 증가되고 있다. ZnO는 이러한 특성을 가진 재료중에 한가지로서 최근 들어 그 가능성에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 특히 상온에서 exciton binding energy가 다른 재료보다 큰 60meV로 고효율의 blue, UV 발광이 가능한 재료로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서도 광소자로서 ZnO를 활용하기 위해서 RF magnetron sputtering법을 이용하기 위하여 광특성의 향상에 목적을 두고 연구하였다. ZnO 박막은 RF magnetron sputtering법을 이용하여 sapphire (0001) 기판위에 성장시켰다. RF power는 60W에서 120W까지 변화시켰고 박막의 성장온도는 55$0^{\circ}C$$600^{\circ}C$로 변화시켰으며, 박막의 성장시간은 60분, ZnO target과 기판과의 거리는 4.5cm로 하여 성장시켰다. 성장된 ZnO 박막은 XRD $\theta$-rocking scan 측정을 통해서 박막의 C-축 배향성과 RBS channeling를 이용하여 ZnO 박막의 epitaxial 성장 정도를 측정하였다. 박막의 상온 발광 특성은 He-Cd laser를 사용한 photoluminescence spectra로 측정하였다. 또한 표면의 morphology는 atomic force microscope(AFM)를 이용하여 관찰하였으며 transmission electron microscopy(TEM)을 사용하여 ZnO박막의 단면적을 관찰함으로서 grain의 성장과 광특성 및 결정성과의 영향에 대해서 연구하였다. ZnO 박막의 성장온도 55$0^{\circ}C$에서 RF power를 60W에서 120W까지 변화시킬 경우 XRD $\theta$-rocking peak의 반치폭이 0.157$^{\circ}$에서 0.436$^{\circ}$까지 변화하였고 80W에서 최소값을 가졌으며 in-plain에 대한 XRD 측정 결과 ZnO 박막의 성장은 sapphire 기판에 대해서 30$^{\circ}$회전되어 성장된 것으로 알 수 있었으며 이는 ZnO [100]∥ Al2O3[110]의 관계를 갖는다는 것을 나타낸다. 광특성의 측정 결과인 PL peak의 반치폭은 133.67meV에서 89.5meV까지 변화함을 알 수 있었고 80W에서 최대값을 가졌으며 이는 RF power의 변화에 따른 결정성의 변화와는 반대되는 현상임을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 성장온도 $600^{\circ}C$일때에는 XRD $\theta$-rocking peak의 반치폭이 0.129$^{\circ}$로 결정성이 우수한 박막임을 확인할 수 있었고 PL peak의 반치폭 또한 Ar과 O2의 비율에 따라 76.32meV에서 98.77meV로 광특성도 우수한 것으로 나타났다. RBS channeling 결과 55$0^{\circ}C$에서는 $\chi$min값이 50~60%였으나 $600^{\circ}C$일 때에는 $\chi$min값이 4~5%로 박막이 epitaxial 성장을 하였다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 결정성과 광특성과의 연관성을 알아보기 위해 TEM을 이용한 박막의 cross section image를 관찰한 결과 광특성이 우수한 시편일수록 grain의 크기가 큰 것으로 나타났고 결정성이 우수한 시편의 경우에서는 XRD분석 결과에서처럼 C-축배향성이 우수한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과로부터 RF magnetron sputtering 법으로 광특성이 우수한 양질의 ZnO박막 성장이 가능하였다는 것을 알 수 있었으며 광소자로써의 가능성을 확인 할 수 있었다.
