研究目的
To compare the optical and electrical properties of Al-doped ZnO films using a Lorentz model and analyze the effects of Al doping on transmittance, resistivity, and carrier concentration.
研究成果
The optimal Al doping concentration is 1.5 at.% at an oxygen partial pressure of 0.12 mTorr, resulting in the smallest resistivity of 7.8 × 10?4 Ω cm and high transmittance >80% in visible regions. Differences in carrier concentration and mobility between ellipsometry and Hall effect measurements are attributed to grain boundary scattering due to small grain size. The Lorentz model effectively analyzes the optical properties, but discrepancies highlight the influence of microstructure on electrical behavior.
研究不足
The study is limited to Al doping concentrations up to 13 at.%, and the small grain size (~20 nm) of the films affects scattering mechanisms, potentially limiting generalizability to films with larger grains. The use of room temperature deposition may not capture high-temperature effects.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses ion-beam co-sputtering to deposit Al-doped ZnO films with varying Al concentrations (0 to 13 at.%) at room temperature. Spectroscopic ellipsometry with a two-Lorentz oscillator model is employed to analyze optical properties, and Hall effect measurements are used for electrical properties.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Films are deposited on B270 glass and Si wafer substrates. Data on transmittance, crystalline structures, surface roughness, morphology, atomic percentages, resistivity, carrier concentration, and mobility are reviewed from previous studies.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Ion-beam sputtering system with Zn and Al targets, VASE ellipsometer M-2000U, Dimension 3100 atomic force microscope, high-purity zinc and aluminum metal targets, B270 glass substrates, Si wafer substrates.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Adjust distance H between Zn target and ion beam center to control Al dopant amount. Deposit films, measure transmittance in UV/visible/near-IR regions, perform ellipsometry at incident angles 55°, 60°, 65° in 350-1000 nm range, use AFM for surface roughness, conduct Hall effect measurements.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Fit ellipsometry data with three-layer optical model using EMA layer, analyze using Lorentz oscillator equations, calculate optical carrier concentration and mobility, compare with Hall effect data using statistical methods.
