研究目的
Investigating the effect of carrier gas humidity on the texture and electronic properties of Cu2O thin films deposited via aerosol-assisted CVD at low temperatures.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that humidity in the carrier gas significantly affects the texture, growth mode, and electronic properties of Cu2O thin films deposited via AA-CVD. Films deposited with humid carrier gas exhibited higher mobility and a preferred [111] orientation. The fabricated Cu2O-ZnO diode showed excellent rectifying behavior, indicating the potential of this approach for optoelectronic applications.
研究不足
The study is limited to the effects of humidity on Cu2O thin films deposited via AA-CVD at low temperatures. The findings may not be directly applicable to other deposition techniques or materials. The study also does not extensively explore the long-term stability or performance of the fabricated diodes under operational conditions.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilized aerosol-assisted CVD (AA-CVD) for depositing Cu2O thin films at temperatures below 365 °C, with varying humidity levels in the carrier gas to study its effect on film texture and electronic properties.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Cu2O thin films were deposited on Corning glass substrates. The effect of humidity was studied by comparing films deposited with dry and humid carrier gases.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A homemade AA-CVD system was used, with copper trifluoroacetylacetonate as the precursor dissolved in ethanol. Characterization was performed using SEM, EBSD, AFM, TEM, XRD, and Hall-effect measurements.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Films were deposited at various temperatures with controlled humidity levels in the carrier gas. The initial stages of film growth were studied to understand the growth mechanisms under dry and humid conditions.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The morphology, crystallinity, and electronic properties of the films were analyzed using SEM, EBSD, AFM, TEM, XRD, and Hall-effect measurements.
