Abstract
We report on the photoluminescent (PL) properties of ZnO thin films grown on SiO2/Si(100) substrates using low pressure metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. The growth temperature of the films was as low as 400°C. From the PL spectra of the films at 10–300 K, strong PL peaks due to free and bound excitons were observed. The origin of the near bandedge emission peaks was investigated measuring temperature-dependent PL spectra. In addition, the Zn O films demonstrated a stimulated emission peak at room temperature. Upon illumination with an excitation density of 1 MW/cm2, a strong, sharp peak was observed at 3.181 eV.
