摘要
氧化锌是一种宽带隙半导体(3.37eV),具有大的激子束缚能(60meV),在室温下容易获得强的激子发射,被认为是制备紫外发光和发光二极管的理想材料,在压电器件,紫外发光探测器,气敏传感器等方面都有十分重要的应用。因此,成为近年来继GaN之后宽带隙半导体研究领域的热点课题。
     本论文针对氧化锌(ZnO)研究中的“磷掺杂p型ZnO的制备和性能”问题展开研究工作。采用磁控溅射方法,以高纯的Ar和O_2为溅射气体,ZnO:P_2O_5(2wt%)为靶材,在硅衬底上生长磷掺杂的ZnO薄膜,通过后期热处理提高了磷掺杂ZnO薄膜的结晶质量,改善了光学电学性质,并在750℃空气中快速热退火条件下获得磷掺杂的p型ZnO;系统研究了不同气体成分和不同退火温度对磷掺杂ZnO薄膜的结构、电学和光学性质的影响。本文还研究了退火对本征氧化锌薄膜的影响,通过氧化锌和磷掺杂氧化锌的对比,根据本文的实验结果并结合文献报道的内容对磷(P)掺杂形成p型氧化锌形成机制进行了探讨。
     利用X-射线衍射、霍尔测量仪、Raman光谱及扫描电子显微镜对薄膜的性能进行了分析测试,并利用光致发光方法研究了薄膜的发光性质。
     结果表明当Ar和O_2为流量比为1/0.05时,能观察到明显的紫外发光,可在快速热退火后得到磷掺杂p型ZnO薄膜,随着O_2含量增加,紫外发光峰逐渐消失,转变为n型;只有在750℃空气快速热退火后才能充分激活磷受主,得到了稳定的p型ZnO:P薄膜。随着退火温度的升高,氧化锌薄膜质量变好,当退火温度是900℃时,结晶质量最好,紫外发光和可见光之比最强。通过不掺杂氧化锌和磷掺杂氧化锌退火的对比得知,磷掺杂氧化锌中的磷取代晶格中锌的位置,在空气快速热退火中磷受主得到激活而表现为p型。
Zinc oxide is a wide band gap (3.37eV) semiconductor with a large exciton binding energy (60meV) and possesses strong exciton emission ability at room temperature. Zinc oxide is considered as an ideal material for UV light-emitting and diodes, widely utilized in piezoelectric parts, ultraviolet light detectors, gas sensors, and other aspects. Therefore, ZnO become a hot topic following the GaN in the wide band gap semiconductor field.
     In this thesis, preparation of ZnO films and their doping into p-type with phosphorous were investigated. Phosphorus doped ZnO films were prepared on silicon substrate by magnetron sputtering by using high purity Ar and O_2 as the working gas and ZnO: P_2O_5(2wt%) as the target. The crystal quality, electrical and photoluminescence properties of phosphorus-doped ZnO films were improved by post-heat treatment. The phosphorus doped p-type ZnO films were successfully obtained by rapid annealing the phosphorus-doped ZnO films (RTA) at 750℃in air. The effects of annealing temperature and O_2/Ar ratio on structure and electrical and photoluminescence properties of phosphorus doped ZnO thin film were investigated and discussed in detail. This paper also studied the effects of annealing on the intrinsic ZnO films and compared the difference between the intrinsic ZnO and phosphorus doped zinc oxide in structure and properties. The formation mechanism of phosphorus (P) doped p-type zinc oxide was discussed according to the obtained and reported data.
     Thin films were characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Hall measurements. The electronic and luminescence properties were tested by photoluminescence (PL).
     Phosphorous-doped p-type ZnO films can be obtained by rapid annealing at 750 oC in air because the P dopants can be sufficiently preserved in the films and effectively activated. The optimal photoluminescence property was observed for the films deposited at the Ar/O_2 ratio of 1/0.05 and the near-band edge emission diminishes gradually with further increasing the Ar/O_2 ratio. With increasing annealing temperature the crystallinity and photoluminescence property improves and the optimal ones were obtained at 900 oC.
