Abstract

In-, Ga- and Al-doped ZnO films were grown via the aerosol-assisted MOCVD technique using the following air-stable metal-organic precursors: Zn(thd)2, In(thd)3, Al(thd)3 and Ga(acac)3 (thd = 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedione, acac = acetylacetonate). Solution of a precursor mixture in 1,2-dimethoxyethane was transformed into an aerosol via ultrasound (2.56 MHz), and then the aerosol was transported into the deposition zone by N2 + O2 gas. The depositions were performed at 350–600 °C. The influences of the substrate, the deposition temperature, the doping element and the doping level on the structural, and the electrical and optical properties of the films were investigated using various characterisation techniques: XRD, SEM, AFM, UV–Vis and FT-IR spectroscopies, and Hall measurements. Epitaxial films on sapphire-R substrates exhibited the best electrical properties. Films doped by Ga and Al had lower resistivity compared to In-doped films. The best Ga- and Al-doped ZnO films (~ 150–200 nm thick) grown on sapphire-R at 400 °C exhibited a resistivity of ≈(7–8) × 10− 4 Ω cm, a carrier concentration of ≈ 1.5 × 1020 cm− 3 and a relatively high carrier mobility of ≈ 50–60 cm2 V− 1 s− 1. Because the low resistivity of Ga- and Al-doped films was mainly determined by the high carrier mobility, the optical transmittance (T) was high in both the visible (T > 90%) and the mid-IR spectral ranges (T ≈ 90% at λ = 2.5 μm). High transmittance in the mid-IR spectral range makes these films suitable for use as transparent electrodes in applications of the IR optoelectronic devices. Annealing of the films for 30 min at 400 °C in an Ar + H2 (10%) mixture markedly increased the carrier concentration, which resulted in the increase in the optical band gap (up to ≈ 3.5 eV) and in the decrease in film resistivity and transparency in the mid-IR spectral range. Annealed Al- and Ga-doped films exhibited a resistivity of ≈(4 − 6) × 10− 4 Ω cm.
