本論文使用脈衝雷射蒸鍍法(pulsed laser deposition)在C面sapphire製做P型氧化鋅摻銻薄膜,並量測其電性與其他特性。本實驗所使用的雷射光源為Nd:YAG雷射,透過晶體將四倍頻266nm波長輸出,脈衝頻率為10Hz,脈衝寬度<10ns,所使用的靶材為自製以高溫燒結的氧化鋅摻銻靶。實驗中我們克服了氧化鋅摻銻薄膜電阻率過高的問題,使其由大於1x109Ω-cm降至32Ω-cm。另外,使用特殊的成長方法使其提升載子濃度,並且解決了製程穩定性不良的問題。樣品以霍爾量測可測得薄膜之電阻率為23.4-32.78Ω-cm,載子移動率為0.81-9.6 cm2/V-s,載子濃度為1.14 x1016-3.31x1018 cm-3。使用X光繞射儀分析可看出經過摻雜後的氧化鋅薄膜其晶格仍為C軸取向。使用掃描式電子顯微鏡分析可看出薄膜的表面呈現顆粒狀分布。
In this study, we deposited p-type ZnO:Sb thin films on the c-plane sapphire substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The Nd:YAG Q-switched laser with 266nm wavelength was used for ablating the ZnO:Sb targets made by sintering pressed ZnO and Sb2O3 powders under high temperature. We found a special procedure which can raise the hole concentration, and simultaneously solve the reproduction issue of the electrical properties of the thin films. The X-ray diffraction indicated that the Sb-doped ZnO thin films were highly c-axis oriented. The SEM images of the films showed quite smooth surfaces with dense grains. The resistivity of the p-type ZnO:Sb films at 3 at% of Sb ranged from 23.4 to 32.78 Ω-cm. The hole concentration and mobility obtained by Hall measurements were 1.14×1016 -3.31×1018cm-3 and 0.81-9.6cm2/ V-s, respectively.
