Abstract
We report on an effective combination of good dielectric properties with bright red emission in Y3+/Eu3+-codoped ZrO2 thin films. The thin films were deposited on fused silica and Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrates using a chemical solution deposition method. The crystal structure, surface morphology, electrical and optical properties of the thin films were investigated in terms of annealing temperature, and Y3+/Eu3+ doping content. The 5%Eu2O3–3%Y2O3–92%ZrO2 thin film with 400nm thickness annealed at 700°C exhibits optimal photoluminescent properties and excellent electrical properties. Under excitation by 396nm light, the thin film on fused silica substrate shows bright red emission bands centered at 593nm and 609nm, which can be attributed to the transitions of Eu3+ ions. Dielectric constant and dissipation factor of the thin films at 1kHz are 30 and 0.01, respectively, and the capacitance density is about 65.5nf/cm2 when the bias electric field is less than 500kV/cm. The thin films also exhibit a low leakage current density and a high optical transmittance with a large band gap.
