Abstract

Hexagonal ZnTiO3 (h-ZnTiO3) films with stoichiometric were deposited on α-Al2O3 substrates using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method and post annealing process. The effect of oxygen partial pressure on Zn/Ti atomic ratio, as well as the influence of annealing treatment on the structural and optical properties of the films were investigated in detail. The optimum h-ZnTiO3 film was deposited under 5 Pa oxygen partial pressure and annealed at 800°C, and it exhibited excellent crystalline quality and an optical band gap of 3.72 eV. A photodetector based on the film was fabricated, and its photoresponsivity was approximately 0.18 mA/W under 308 nm ultraviolet light irradiation. This demonstrates that as a wide bandgap semiconductor material, h-ZnTiO3 has potential applications in the field of devices.
