Abstract

ZnO films were synthesized by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on GaAs and α-Al2O3 substrates. The properties of ZnO films on GaAs and α-Al2O3 have been investigated to determine the differences between epitaxial and textured ZnO films. ZnO films on GaAs show very strong emission features associated with exciton transitions as do ZnO films on α-Al2O3, while the crystalline structural qualities for ZnO films on α-Al2O3 are much better than those for ZnO films on GaAs. The properties of ZnO films are studied by comparing highly oriented, textured ZnO films on GaAs with epitaxial ZnO films on α-Al2O3 synthesized along the c-axis.
